Tech at trivago

Scalability, speed, and efficiency are three key factors that influence software engineering at trivago. Each engineer has their own area of focus which can involve developing high traffic web applications, setting up high performing database queries, or writing and optimizing code for various browsers and connection speeds. Together in an agile environment, they collaborate, share their knowledge in guilds and workshops, and tackle any problems that may arise in our tech.

Open Source

We strongly believe in sharing knowledge not only internally, but also with the tech community around the world. This is one of the reasons why we support Open Source software through development. Sometimes we also make use of existing open source projects, as they make our lives way easier!
