Internship: Global Flight Search

Description de l'offre

Shaping the future of travel is important to us at Amadeus. Today, with technology getting smarter by the minute, that future is more exciting than ever.

Our business success relies on our people being always passionate about what we do. We believe in aiming for excellence, taking responsibility, working together and putting our customers first.

The Search, Shopping & Pricing (SSP) product engineering group serves the core Distribution business of Amadeus as well as Airline IT e-commerce business and the Rail IT and Travel Intelligence new businesses. We are responsible in particular for the travel Search and Shopping products, enabling users to find and price travel options made from the offerings of full-service carriers, low-cost carriers and railways. It is a multicultural division of 450 people, spread over Nice, Boston and Bangalore.

The key mission of the SSD team is to wisely integrate flight search back-end services (e.g.MasterPricer, Schedule Availability) into the Amadeus online products (AeTM, SELC/SECO, ARDW, AeRE, XML customers).

As part of this mission the team is in charge of the TravelShopper component being a generic and customizable shopper. TravelShopper provides advanced features about transactions orchestration and content aggregation. This component is a key piece as soon as multi-content shopping is in scope. In other words TravelShopper gives access to Amadeus GDS content, other GDS, LCC content (TravelFusion, LACA/ATAC, LC2A) and rail content through a unique and unified shopping interface.

Another mission of the team is to develop new backend search services using Java as a programming language and OJF (Open Java Framework) as a framework (heavily relying on Spring). Those new services often consist in orchestrating calls to other backend systems, a concurrent way, and then process the responses by applying specific business logics. The services in question are exposed as standard soap web services and also as HTTP REST JSON services.

Main Responsibilities

In the GDS (Global Distribution System) model, airlines push elementary data (schedules, fares) to the GDSs. Then GDS flight search process consists in processing those data to compute flight recommendations/offers.

Some airlines do not take part in the GDS model and distribute their content through other systems and channels. Several systems, internal or external, enable access to this non-GDS content.

Aim of the internship is to connect one or several of these systems to the standard GDS flight search process in order to expand its content coverage. The connectivity may be through external web services, internal web services, REST API or ad-hoc gateway.

In order to achieve the goal in question the trainee will contribute in:

· Listing available and relevant content providers, both external and internal
· Choosing content provider(s) to connect to
· Defining architecture and design of the solution
· Prototyping chosen solution
· Presenting/demoing the prototype
