The posting
About us: At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core. And innovation is everywhere. But our company is more than datasets, lines of code or A/B tests. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place. The excitement of the next morning. The friends you make. The journeys you take. The sights you see. And the food you sample. Through our products, partners and people, we can empower everyone to experience the world.
FinTech business unit – with teams in Amsterdam, Bangalore, London and Shanghai – develops new products and drives innovation to help us continue removing financial friction from the travel process. That makes buying and selling travel-related products and services simpler and easier for both travellers and partners.
The Pay-in Products area owns the moment when a traveller pays: how they pay, when they pay, in which currency, and how smooth and trustworthy the experience feels. Based in Amsterdam, four product teams work across agentic payments, the Booking.com co-branded credit card, paying in your own currency, checkout, Pay Later, Wallet and loyalty. Together, these products support millions of bookings and create opportunities to improve both traveller experiences and business performance.
