Join Europe’s #1 Online Hotel Reservations Company in the center of Amsterdam.

As HTML/CSS/Javascript front-end developer, you will be designing and implementing the user interfaces of Booking.com websites. You have a good sense for colors, images, layouts. But you are a GUI designer, not an artist. Usability is more important for you than a pretty picture.
You are a developer in the sense that your output will be fully functional cross-browser HTML/CSS/Javascript code instead of mockup images. You make sure that front-end technology works in all browsers, and delivers for the customers of Booking.com.

Booking.com is the market leader in Europe for on-line hotel reservations with more than 1000 employees worldwide and a total of 24 offices worldwide. Our headquarters is located in the centre of Amsterdam and we offer a dynamic international work environment.

Key responsibilities:

  • Designing and developing the user interface of the Booking.com website with HTML/CSS and JavaScript
  • Day to day maintenance of the Booking.com production websites
  • Work together with colleagues of Design, IT and Marketing to improve usability
  • Conduct experiments and usability tests

How we work:

We make our design decisions based on experiments and testing. We receive thousands of visits to our website on a daily basis; therefore we know instantly which experiments work and which don’t.

Required Skills

  • Strong sense for consistent design of user interfaces, usability and accessibility
  • Expert mastery of cross-browser front-end technologies: HTML and CSS
  • Solid experience with Javascript
  • Experience with table less design
  • Experience with templating systems
  • Familiarity with browser quirks and workarounds
  • Working knowledge of W3C standards for web development
  • Experience with validating and testing
  • Experience with graphical software (e.g. Photoshop)
  • Able to work well independently and within a team
  • You are an unrestricted communicator with pragmatic attitude
  • Confident working with cvs or similar version control systems
  • Ability to code hand-crafted html
