Tech at trivago

Scalability, speed and efficiency are three key factors that influence our 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 optimising code for various browsers and connection speeds.

Our engineers love the challenges that their work presents to them on a daily basis and thrive in our agile environment where they can share their knowledge and work together to solve any problems that arise.

Our Languages

We love to experiment with new technologies and we use the best in production for our large-scale system. From Kubernetes, Kafka, Go, and Kotlin in the backend over Redux, Melody, and GraphQL in the frontend, we use a wide variety of Open Source tools to maintain our multi-cloud platform.

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!

I've always been a doer, a maker — the type who likes to imagine the concept, plan the operations, and bring things to reality — and nothing is better than being in a company that encourages the intrapreneurial spirit for me to explore my full potential.
