Manager, Software Engineering

Introduction to the Team

Private Label Solutions (PLS) is the B2B arm of Expedia Group. We bring Expedia Group’s innovative technology and distribution solutions to partners across the world. These businesses include global financial institutions, corporate managed travel, offline travel agents, global travel suppliers (like major airlines) and many more.

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead one of our teams focused on building the foundational technology behind Expedia Partner Solutions’ Credit and Billing platforms - enabling millions of travellers to access the right travel products at the right time.

As part of the Core Technology organisation, we’re expanding our reach across new lines of business like Cars and Activities , and evolving the way partners manage financial transactions through our B2B APIs. This is a space with high visibility, high impact, and an ambitious roadmap, and we’re looking for a strong engineering leader to help shape the next phase.

You will lead and a team of 5-8 engineers , drive delivery across multiple technical domains, and foster a culture of operational excellence, inclusion, and innovation. You’re not just a people manager — you’re a technical leader who can coach engineers, collaborate across product and design, and steer teams through complexity with confidence and clarity.

In this role, you will:

• Lead an agile engineering team delivering high-scale, high-availability services for partner credit and billing use cases
• Own the technical execution and delivery plan across a core strategic project, in collaboration with TPM and Product peers
• Drive operational excellence, including testing strategies, SLAs, observability, and production readiness
• Influence architecture and system design decisions, advocating for clean code, reusability, and long-term maintainability
• Build strong partnerships across engineering, finance, and product teams to align technical investments with business outcomes
• Ensure cross-team collaboration and unblock dependencies in a multi-team, multi-domain environment
• Provide regular coaching, mentoring, and career development for engineers and managers
• Grow and scale your team with a focus on diversity, autonomy, and long-term success
• Be a champion for change and continuous improvement — from how we design systems to how we run retros
• Bring empathy, clarity, and context to technical and non-technical conversations alike

Experience and Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including 2+ years in a people leadership role
• A track record of building and leading high-performing, distributed teams across multiple technologies or domains
• Deep experience in backend or full-stack development, with a solid grasp of service-oriented and event-driven architecture
• Ability to coach engineers through system design and performance trade-offs
• Experience collaborating with TPMs and product managers on roadmap planning and prioritisation
• A strong grasp of cloud-native practices and modern dev tooling (we use AWS, Kotlin, Kafka, Terraform, etc.)
• Experience hiring, developing, and retaining talent in a fast-paced environment
• An inclusive leadership style that fosters trust, ownership, and team health

Why join us?

• Work on impactful, large-scale systems used by Expedia’s global B2B partners
• Be part of a thoughtful, collaborative culture that values autonomy and accountability
• Get access to top-tier technical challenges and the freedom to solve them the right way
• Share knowledge and learn from an experienced, diverse group of engineers and leaders
• Enjoy great benefits, competitive compensation, and of course, travel perks!

We believe in being different — in embracing new perspectives, ideas, and ways of working. We value inclusion, curiosity, and experimentation just as much as technical expertise.

If you are excited to build products that move money at scale, enable partners to grow, and support travellers around the world — we would love to hear from you.
