TALENT ACQUISITION / BRAND

EXPEDIA GROUP

Open source talent acquisition

One aspect of travel and in particular within the Expedia group of brands, is that many outside of the industry may be unaware of the technology utilised by the business. The blanket phrase “oh, you work in travel” fails to convey the mechanism of cutting edge technology driving the brand success, and one aspect of my time within Expedia Group has been assisting with talent acquisition through marketing targeted to those professionals that help shape the future of tech.

Working with in-house development teams, bespoke branding is developed for each open source project and used to not only drive top class recruitment at promotional events held in house but also adhere to Expedia’s values of making the world better by giving back to the community.

GITHUB – STYX

Styx Proxies HTTP requests to a configurable set of Backend Services typically a cluster of web servers (multiple origins) or load balancers (e.g. AWS ELB).

Requests are subjected to an interceptor chain (conceptualy a HTTP filter chain), which can respond or modify and pass through the request to the backend services. The interceptor chain can be easily extended by Plugins written in Java.

GITHUB – BULL
