This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: Two days in-office.
Associate Software Engineer
As an Associate Software Engineer on this team, you will operate across a wider surface than a typical product role. In a given quarter you might embed with a product squad as a forward-deployed engineer to build a custom automation that saves them hours a week, build a shared internal tool that generalizes that automation for everyone, and build the measurement layer that shows where our tools and AI are creating value and where they aren't. Some work is embedded and forward-deployed; some is building shared platforms centrally; some is the measurement layer underneath. You'll move between those modes as the work demands. We are looking for engineers who want to build products for other employees — energized by being close to a real problem, shipping something that removes it, and then making that solution reusable. Whether your background is in backend, full-stack, data, or platform engineering, we value a builder's instinct and a measurement mindset in equal measure.
This is a deliberately unsettled space, and that's the point.
Applied AI and internal-tooling use cases evolve constantly — what's high-leverage this quarter may not be next. We have a strong point of view on why this team matters and what to chase first, but the specific bets are an evolving canvas, shaped in collaboration with teams across the business. That openness is real prospect, not ambiguity for its own sake.
Why this job’s a big deal:
We are growing the Employee Tools & Automation team — dedicated to making every Priceline employee measurably more effective with tools, including AI. We treat internal productivity as an engineering problem, not a training problem or a procurement problem.
This team does three things that reinforce each other:
- We build internal tools, automations, and AI-augmented workflows that take toil out of how Priceline works.
- We embed with teams often acting as for
