“We’re looking for the brightest talents in back-end, front-end, full-stack and product to put their heads together and hack on our Booking.comAPI with the aim of creating multi-functional teams, working together as an actual product team,”Booking.com said in a press statement.
The challenge is to ensure that developers use their programming and designing skills, along with creative thinking, to develop a process to decode the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, in this instance (Sustainable Tourism). Developers will work with technology stack and devices of their choice: mobile, web, plugins, wearable, applications, to mention a few.
Some of the best innovation comes from integrating multiple services to create something new, radical and creative that solves a problem for travelers. Think about how transport, activities, events, social media and other devices can be combined to help improve sustainable tourism. The Booking.comAPI will give developers access to over one million properties ranging from hotels to homes to castles, and everything in between.
