We're changing travel search by giving people full transparency in their search for a perfect hotel stay. Using the staggering amount of data we've collected and analyzed, we'll actually find and request the best hotel room for you. Some projects you'll work on:
- computer-generating views from any room in the world
- building the first deep-text hotel search engine (eg. search "eiffel tower views" in Paris or "jetted bathtub" in New York)
- super-fast search across all major providers (we show Expedia results faster than Expedia)
- finding better ways to extract and expose data like hotel freebies and fees
...and many other things that contribute to a fast, easy travel planning experience.
If you're interested in information retrieval, machine learning, NLP, or computer visualization, you'll have a great time solving brand new problems and creating a genuinely improved and useful hotel search.
