Job Title

Principal Quality Assurance Specialist – Pricing Integration & Orchestration

Business Environment

Entity: CPS - SSP (Search, Shopping and Pricing)

The Search, Shopping and Pricing (SSP) division is dedicated to creating innovative products that cater to various customer segments, including providers (airlines, alliances, and railway operators), distributors (travel agencies, online travel agencies, tour operators), and emerging intermediaries (meta-search). The market is rapidly evolving, driven by online competitors (Google/ITA, Kayak, Expedia, etc.) and significant shifts in business models (NDC). The platform that underpins these operations is characterized by its massive scale in infrastructure (handling extensive transactions), operations (processing numerous transactions per second), data (managing 350 million fares and petabyte-scale historical datasets), and software (comprising 23 million lines of code).

To achieve the primary goal of SSP, which is to deliver optimal travel solutions, the Pricing Integration & Orchestration (PIO) department collaborates closely with Reservation, Ticketing, and Pricing Engine entities. PIO engages just before customer payment to reassess the price initially provided during the shopping phase, ensuring the customer is charged accurately.

The PIO department specializes in pricing for flight tickets and ancillary services, alongside aftersales processes (such as Amadeus Ticket Changer and Service Changer).

Through its involvement in several SAFe Agile Release Trains, the department significantly influences the definition of Airline IT and Travel Distribution business areas through projects like Offer Management System, Nevio, and Travel Platform, among others that are shaping the future of Amadeus.

Over a third of our department members hold Scrum Master or Product Owner roles as part of their contributions to various Agile teams.
