About Tripadvisor

The Tripadvisor Group connects people to experiences worth sharing, and aims to be the world’s most trusted source for travel and experiences. We leverage our brands, technology, and capabilities to connect our global audience with partners through rich content, travel guidance, and two-sided marketplaces for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and other travel categories. The subsidiaries of Tripadvisor, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIP), include a portfolio of travel brands and businesses, including Tripadvisor, Viator, and TheFork.

Our Data Platform team is the engineering backbone of Tripadvisor’s data ecosystem. Formed from the core fundamentals of our Data Engineering and Software Engineering (Data Platform) groups, this unified team combines deep data pipeline expertise with robust platform engineering capabilities. 

We are responsible for providing the software and infrastructure that enable Tripadvisor to better understand visitor preferences and drive GenAI, Analytical, and DSML initiatives at petabyte scale. We build the frameworks, infrastructure, tooling, data modeling, and best practices that ensure consistent, well-governed, high-quality data products everywhere; and we directly own a deliberate set of business-critical, cross-cutting data products.

Our work spans:

• Streaming and batch data platforms that unlock data across Tripadvisor
• ETL pipelines and data models serving terabytes and growing datasets in Snowflake, BigQuery, and Hive
• Orchestration, scheduling, and ETL generation tools to support cloud migrations and petabyte-scale operations
• Tracking instrumentation, information architecture, and data governance tooling for business-critical analytics
• Self-service and agentic analytics capabilities — governed, natural-language access to trustworthy data
