What the job involves

FareHarbor, a Booking holding company, is looking for a full time Software Engineer to join our data engineering team in Amsterdam
We’re a quickly growing company with a robust product that tens of thousands of people rely on to run their businesses every day. As we grow, insights into our data are increasingly important in order to optimize our internal processes, inform our long-term strategy, and help our clients increase their sales
Implement data infrastructure to serve the needs of our Reporting and Analytics teams
Ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of our data infrastructure within AWS, including data pipelines, a data warehouse, Python automations, a Tableau cluster, and other reporting infrastructure for internal and external clients
Design, build and implement ETL processes using Airflow and DBT
Work with technologies like Python, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redshift, Terraform, and Kubernetes

Our take

Most holidaygoers in the US prefer to book their activities and experiences online - but when it comes to local operators, this isn’t always possible. FareHarbor has been developing software to help digitize the booking process for these smaller businesses, and over a decade, has brought more than 5,000 of them onto the books.

Along the way, FareHarbor also built up some strong momentum in the reservation management and distribution areas of the sector, which drove up the company’s valuation - making it a prime candidate for acquisition. Whilst TripAdvisor reportedly made multiple bids, FareHarbor ultimately went to Booking Holdings, the US’ largest vendor of tour company booking software.

This puts FareHarbor in a strong position. Booking Holdings is acquiring companies at a steep rate (ten in the last ten years), and good ones too - Kayak and Venga number among them. This will help FareHarbor with customer acquisition, and insulate it somewhat from any wobbles in the hospitality sector.
