Expedia Group operates one of the world's largest travel platforms, connecting millions of travelers to over 3 million properties, 220,000 activities, and more than 500 airlines across 70+ countries. Founded in 1996 as one of the first online travel agencies, the company has spent two decades developing travel technology and marketplace products that power consumer-facing brands including Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.
The group's platform is built on substantial technical infrastructure, processing more than 70 petabytes of data to match travellers with suppliers at scale. Core technical capabilities span distributed systems operating across multiple time zones, two-sided marketplace engineering, booking engines and reservation systems, and the complex data architecture required to manage millions of possibilities in real time.
The company employs a global team of engineers and technologists working to make travel more accessible and inclusive. Its engineering approach emphasises breaking down complex problems and rebuilding them more effectively, with products designed to serve both the traveller and supplier sides of its marketplace. The organisation operates across time zones and cultures, balancing technical challenge with the human dimensions of travel.
