As the world's largest hotel search, it takes a lot of work to keep things running smoothly. When waves of technical problems come crashing down, we need a tech-head who can make sure that our ship stays on course. We're looking for a deckhand to join our pirate ship. Once you've learned how to monitor and maintain our multi-data centre network infrastructure, you will become our navigator guiding us to brighter shores. If this sounds like it's for you, come join our crew.


What you'll do:

• Get the chance to tackle some of the leading software and system issues in a big data environment.


• Troubleshoot reasons for critical malfunctions in complex technical environments.


• Help us to stay one step ahead: you will be encouraged to challenge our current processes and consider what we can do differently.


• Research trends, share ideas and work on projects to help us improve. If your suggestions work on a small scale you will get to see them implemented in 5 data centres on 3 continents.

What you'll need:

• To be an unashamed tech-junkie.


• A good understanding of shell scripting and Linux or UNIX/FreeBSD-based tools.


• The desire to learn about networking, monitoring systems (Nagios/Cacti/Icinga), Apache httpd and Nginx webserver, MySQL and PHP.


• The ability to handle the pressure of big data responsibility and tight deadlines.


• A good enough level of English (our company language) to be comfortable speaking it on a daily basis.


• To be looking to break into the IT industry and seeking the chance to make a difference to the experience of 120 million monthly users.


• To be a born problem solver who is always considering how to do things differently and is able to attempt to solve problems without close supervision.


• A proactive personality: we want someone who will speak their mind, think along with the teams and ask questions.

Life at trivago is:

• The opportunity for self-driven individuals to have a direct impact on the business.


• The freedom to embrace small-scale failures as a path to large-scale success.


• The belief that factual proof is the word of truth and determines the way forward.


• The chance to develop personally and professionally due to a strong feedback culture and access to training and workshops.


• A unique culture with a strong sense of community and an agile, international work environment.


• Thriving on a campus that supports your health and happiness with world-class ergonomics, 30+ sports and a multi-cuisine cafeteria to satisfy your inner foodie.


• Flexibility for all employees to contribute value and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
