Senior PHP Engineer
What is Transactional messaging team doing?
Transactional messaging is responsible for all communication towards customers related to current state, changes and updates of their reservation. Over the years, our team has come a long way from sending just a few emails. We are now able to communicate via all main communication channels (email, sms, mobile push notifications and social networks). We also need to be able to send thousands of messages within minutes in case of emergencies. On top of that, we are storing, visualising and evaluating the delivered content as well as customer’s interaction with it.
To achieve a high success rate of deliveries and to minimize the sending processing time, our services need to be highly available and scalable on demand.
We release to production multiple times a day. To measure the impact and the health of the release – automated testing, real-time monitoring and alerting is in place. We focus our development on the ability to deliver new features and additional value to our customers. While doing that, we refactor parts of the code which slow the development down.
