- Create innovative flight search features-from real-time fare comparison and seat map interactions to flight customization and dynamic checkout flows-from scratch.
- Leverage modern AI-assisted developer tools (such as Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot) to accelerate ideation, code generation, refactoring, and automated testing workflows.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, backend engineers, and UI/UX specialists to craft fast, stable solutions built on top of Appleβs latest iOS SDKs.

- Deep understanding of modern Swift Concurrency (e.g., async/await, Actors, TaskGroups, and structured concurrency patterns).
- Hands-on experience with clean mobile architecture patterns (such as MVVM-C, VIPER, or The Composable Architecture / TCA) tailored for declarative UI workflows.
- Fluency with AI-first developer tooling (e.g., Cursor, Claude, LLM-driven coding workflows) to increase development velocity, inspect edge cases, and streamline delivery.
- Familiarity with local data persistence (e.g., SwiftData, Core Data, or Realm), network caching layer integration (URLSession), and dependency management using Swift Package Manager (SPM).
- Strong computer science fundamentals, including object-oriented and functional programming, data structures, unit testing (XCTest/Swift Testing), performance profiling (Instruments), and multithreaded debugging.
- Demonstrated domain experience with flight search engines, travel e-commerce, Global Distribution Systems (GDS), real-time dynamic pricing, or complex API consumption (REST/GraphQL) is a strong plus.
- Illustrated history of living the values necessary to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability, and Trust.
- The Right Results, the Right Wayβ is not just a motto at Priceline; itβs a way of life. Unquestionable integrity and ethics is essential.
