Software Engineer II, Full Stack
Skyscanner
Collaborative. Ambitious. Empowering.
As a skilled Software Engineer 2, you’ve worked on modern front end technologies and have some server side experience. You’re excited by ReactJs, Typescript, Sass/Less, Webpack and npm to name but a few; and have some experience in Node.js, Python, Java, or other server scripting technologies. But what we really need is someone who can build a new front end codebase, so we can scale through development. This isn’t just about having great technical talents, though. We’re also looking for a sense of team spirit, dedication to customers and accountability for your own projects.
We need your expertise to help us do something great for over 100 million travellers: make booking stays and journeys more sustainable and straightforward. It involves technical challenges and the latest technology – but that’s ok by you.
First and foremost, it’s about helping with automation and solving technical issues. A curiosity about security, data engineering/ETL, cloud services, real time accuracy and building APIs will definitely help.
As a Full Stack Software Engineer here, you’ll define and implement vital services, from page structure and styling to API design and data handling.
You’ll optimize performance, collaborate with product, design, and data teams, and introduce new tools or frameworks when needed.
You’ll be trusted to manage your own projects, but you’ll also share responsibility with the squad to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Experience in SEO or high-traffic scenarios is a plus, and a deeper back-end skill set or microservices background could help us tackle complex challenges.
Skyscanner is a hybrid working company and most roles can be either Full Time or Part Time.
We believe when people meet regularly in person, we are better able to innovate, learn, collaborate and inspire.
We ask people to be in the office on average 8 days per month.
Already a global leader in travel, we want to elevate the way we work to a whole other level.
In return, you’ll get meaningful things like medical insurance, headspace subscriptions, a home office allowance and the option to buy more holiday.
You’ll have the opportunity to work from any country for 4 weeks a year, and 30 days in our other global offices.
Everything, in other words, to help you relax and give your best.
