This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: 2 days in-office Distinguished Enterprise Architect, Flights Our Technology team is the backbone of our company: constantly creating, testing, learning and iterating to better meet the needs of our customers. If you thrive in a fast-paced, ideas-led environment, you’re in the right place. Why this job’s a big deal: As a Distinguished Enterprise Architect for Flights, you’ll define and evolve the architecture that powers Priceline’s end-to-end flight experience—from search and discovery through shopping, pricing, availability, booking, and post-booking experiences. This role raises the architectural bar for Priceline’s Flights portfolio—building reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective foundations that enable rapid innovation across the flight journey. You’ll connect Product, Technology, Data, AI/ML, and third-party supplier capabilities to create seamless, high-performing flight experiences at scale. Your work will support today’s priorities while creating the architectural foundation for future innovation. You’ll operationalize data, measurement, and experimentation, using A/B testing, feature flags, and other modern capabilities to continuously improve the Flights experience. In this role, you will get to: Define and evolve the Flights target-state architecture aligned to Priceline’s long-term business and technology objectives, with a pragmatic, phased roadmap and clearly defined interim milestones. Design complex, distributed systems supporting flight search, shopping, pricing, availability, booking, and post-booking experiences that are reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective—grounded in explicit trade-offs and consistent with Priceline’s infrastructure and operations standards. Partner with Product and Technology leaders to design end-to-end Flights solutions across internal platforms, airline and supplier systems, and third-party technologies—defining integration patterns, API/data contracts, clear ownership boundaries, and SLAs. Champion engineering best practices across key domains, including software design, APIs, DevOps/CI/CD, QA, SRE/observability, cloud, data, AI/ML, security, and experimentation, partnering with domain experts to unlock innovation and operational efficiency. Drive AI/ML-driven capabilities across the flight journey — personalized search/shopping ranking, generative and agentic booking assistance, pricing and demand-forecasting models, and anomaly detection for booking/pricing failures — partnering with Data/AI and Product leaders. Partner with Flights business leaders, Product leaders, and Enterprise Architects to drive well-founded technology choices and ensure scalable, reusable, and platform-aligned architectural patterns across the portfolio. Evaluate emerging technologies, architectural patterns, and travel industry capabilities to shape strategic roadmaps—leading build/buy/partner analyses, proofs of concept, and TCO/ROI assessments to de-risk decisions. Define and evolve architecture supporting flight supplier integrations, content, pricing, availability, and distribution, ensuring solutions can scale as the Flights ecosystem and partner landscape evolve. Enable data-driven product development by establishing architectural patterns for analytics, experimentation, A/B testing, feature flags, and AI/ML capabilities across the Flights experience. Lead architecture governance, codifying standards and guardrails, managing technical debt, ensuring compliance, and minimizing architectural and operational risk. Coach senior and staff engineers, uplevel engineering and architectural practices, and cultivate a culture of clarity, simplicity, scalability, and continuous improvement across the Flights organization. Who you are: Strategic thinker and clear communicator who can influence executives, peers, and engineers. 12+ years in software engineering and architecture, with significant experience in Growth/MarTech, cloud, microservices, experimentation, data pipelines, AI/ML (including generative AI), and privacy-by-design. Hands-on software engineering background with fluency in API design (gRPC/REST/GraphQL), DevOps/CI/CD, QA, and observability/SRE practices. Proficient in the Node.js ecosystem and Java/Spring ecosystem. Cloud-native experience—ideally GCP (GKE, BigQuery). Familiar with key MarTech platforms and concerns—marketing analytics, headless CMS, CDPs, SEO/SEM, and Core Web Vitals. Bias for clarity and simplicity—reducing complexity and enabling teams to move faster and smarter. Analytical problem-framer who reduces ambiguity into clear, actionable components. Illustrated history of living the values necessary to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability, and Trust. The Right Results, the Right Way is not just a motto at Priceline; it’s a way of life. Unquestionable integrity and ethics are essential. There are a variety of factors that go into determining a salary range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. In addition to a competitive base salary, certain roles may be eligible for an annual bonus and/or equity grant. The salary range for this position is $185,000- $215,000K CAD. #LI-VM1 #LI-hybrid Who We Are WE ARE PRICELINE.
