About the team
The OTA Insight Data Engineering team in Gent is the gatekeeper to our vast datasets. Its mission is to reliably transform, integrate and store the numerous data sources that power our BI products. Some datasets are acquired by web scraping or API integrations, others are pushed to us by external vendors. Our main dataset holds 3 trillion (yes that’s 12 zeros) hotel rates. The team works in close collaboration with our Product team, as well as a highly talented group of software engineers, devops engineers, and project managers to drive initiatives forward.
Today we process billions of data points and +100TB of data on a daily basis, containing hotels' pricing information, search data, hotel bookings, etc. All of that using modern technologies. Being a growth company enables us to regularly attract new and interesting datasets, which can unlock new product directions.

This has allowed us to grow rapidly over the past few years, adding new products as we solve new problems for our users.
