About the role
(Hybrid)

You’d join a team on a mission to help travellers think beyond flights and plan their whole trip. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you’ll sit right at the intersection of inspiration, discovery and conversion, building experiences that guide flight travellers towards great-value accommodation, packages and cars.

This is a genuinely full-stack role. You’ll spend time crafting intuitive, engaging user experiences while also shaping the backend services and APIs that power them, and using the latest AI technologies to build them. You’ll work and help lead a multi-disciplinary squad that has a high level of autonomy in delivering on their goal, so curiosity and collaboration are just as important as technical depth.

What you’ll be doing

• Building end-to-end experiences: Designing and delivering full stack features that help travellers discover the right accommodation, packages and deals for their trip.

• Creating inspiring entry points: Developing user-facing surfaces across Flights, Explore and Homepage that spark consideration beyond flights.

• Partnering cross-functionally: Working closely with Product, Design, Data and other engineering squads to deliver meaningful outcomes.

• Iterating through experimentation: Shipping, measuring and refining experiments to understand what really helps travellers decide.

• Balancing frontend and backend: Crafting polished UIs while contributing to APIs, services and integrations when needed.

• Championing quality and accessibility: Raising the bar on performance, accessibility and observability across the stack.

• Leading by example: Supporting and mentoring peers, and helping shape how we build as a squad.

About you

• An experienced full stack engineer: Comfortable building modern web experiences and contributing to backend systems that scale.

• Product-minded: You care deeply about solving real traveller problems, not just shipping code.

• Frontend-confident: You enjoy crafting intuitive, accessible interfaces that feel effortless to use.

• Backend-capable: You’re happy working with APIs, services and data flows that power user-facing features.

• Experiment-friendly: You’re comfortable working in evolving problem spaces, guided by data and learning.

• Collaborative by nature: You communicate clearly and enjoy building things with others.

• Impact-driven: You’re excited by work that touches millions of travellers and multiple parts of the business.
