IMPORTANT: READ FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING We are building a production-grade travel booking platform with live flight and hotel search, pricing, and booking, targeted at real customers (not a demo or MVP). This project requires proven, hands-on experience with flight and hotel API integrations in real, live projects. What We Are Building A real travel platform with: Live flight search, pricing, fare rules, baggage info Live hotel availability, rates, booking & cancellation Multi-step booking flow (search → select → revalidate → payment → confirmation) Payment integration (Stripe or equivalent) Admin controls (markups, commissions, logs) Scalable backend (no scripts or shortcuts) REQUIRED EXPERIENCE (NON-NEGOTIABLE) You must have already built a real project that includes: Flight APIs: Amadeus / Duffel / Sabre / Travelport / similar Hotel APIs: Hotelbeds / RateHawk / similar Live booking (not mock or sandbox-only) Real customers or production usage STRICT VERIFICATION POLICY We will ONLY proceed if you can verify your previous work through one or more of the following: Live website where flight/hotel bookings actually work Live screen-share showing: Your old project running (local/staging/production) Backend logic for flight/hotel integration Booking + payment flow Direct client reference confirming your role If your work is NDA-protected and you cannot show proof, please DO NOT bid. “My team did it” or “agency experience” without personal proof = rejection. WE WILL IMMEDIATELY REJECT BIDS THAT INCLUDE Demo or sandbox projects created for bidding Recently built “samples” WordPress themes or ready-made travel scripts Generic portfolios unrelated to travel tech AI-generated or copy-paste proposals Claims without live verification We will ask deep technical questions on a live call. If answers are generic or memorized → instant rejection. WARNING TO AI / COPY-PASTE BIDDERS If your proposal is generic or does not clearly reference your real past travel project, do not waste your time bidding. We will not train developers on flight or hotel APIs. WHO SHOULD APPLY Developers who have actually built flight + hotel booking platforms Engineers comfortable explaining API flows, failures, revalidation, and booking states Professionals who value transparency and verification If you truly have the experience, this project will be straightforward and long-term. Bid only if you can prove your work.
