Overview:
The Orbitz Worldwide Android team has been hauling for over a year now and we are looking for someone to join the team. We are literally reinventing travel as we speak. Right now, as you are reading this we are doing green field, native Android app development and are looking for your input. We are a small, but lethal team. Our latest release, the “Hotels by Orbitz” Android app was a Google Play staff pick and maintains a 4.5 star rating from consumers. Today, the team has four developers as well as dedicated design, qa and product. We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to not only the code base, but the team. Your ideas can and will be added to the product roadmap. Orbitz Worldwide is a leader in global, mobile commerce. More than 20% of Orbitz hotel bookings are made via mobile devices and we were ranked #4 in the 2013 edition of Internet Retailer’s Mobile Commerce 400 list based on projected mobile sales in 2012 (highest-ranked full-service travel company and behind only Amazon, Apple, and Marriott). This is an amazing opportunity as your code will be used by millions of our customers around the world.
Responsibilities:

So, what is a typical day like?
Most of your day will be spend coding and collaborating with the team. You'll be provided a Mac and can use the tools you want to be productive. We use git. There are Android devices at everyone's desk. You will collaborate with other development teams too (the iOS team sits right next to us).
Our team has defined an agile process that works for us. We have a daily standup each morning. Every other week we demo changes, have a retrospective and plan our next sprint. Our team defined this process and we are constantly evaluating it to make the team productive and fun.
Qualifications:
  • Android (huge plus, but not required)
  • Java and/or relevant object oriented programming
  • Ruby/Rails (plus but not required)
  • Linux
  • Git
  • Above all, we are looking for a good person who cares about what they are working on and who is passionate about technology.
