Global travel booking platforms across 220 countries with ML-driven pricing
Emerging Travel Group operates three booking platforms (RateHawk, Roundtrip, ZenHotels) covering 2.9M+ accommodations worldwide. The tech stack reveals a mature ML-first operation—PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLflow, and DVC sit alongside production infrastructure (Kubernetes, Airflow, Elasticsearch)—while active projects on dynamic pricing algorithms and real-time competitor visibility suggest the company is competing on algorithmic edge in a commoditized vertical. Hiring velocity is steady across 25 countries, with sales and marketing dominating the open headcount, indicating geographic expansion and channel scaling.
Notable leadership hires: Business Development Head, Tax Director
