About the Role
At Expedia Group, we help travelers explore the world, one journey at a time.

Here, you'll do meaningful work that helps millions of people discover, book, and experience travel with more ease, confidence, and joy. Our five Behaviors—Traveler First, Think Big, Operate with Excellence, Ownership Mindset, and Succeed Together—help foster a supportive environment where people can grow their careers and have the flexibility, benefits, and support to do their best work.

Our Technology Team partners with teams across Expedia Group to create innovative products, services, and tools to deliver high-quality experiences for travellers, partners, and our employees. A singular technology platform powered by data and machine learning provides secure, differentiated, and personalised experiences that drive loyalty and traveller satisfaction.

Price is a key factor influencing travellers' path to driving a choice leading to a purchase. In a world of infinite paths to purchase, travellers make multiple searches and find the "best trip" and "best deal". The Offers Domain team is tasked with providing the customer with simple, clear, accurate, and transparent pricing throughout their shopping and booking journeys. We do this by putting the customer first, creating capabilities that can be shared with and presented to the customer, meeting travellers' expectations in locally relevant ways and adhering to regulatory norms.
