Rewarding. Energising. Open.
We need your talent and expertise to help us do something great for our travellers: make booking stays and journeys more sustainable and straightforward. This involves technical challenges and the latest technology, from machine learning and cloud services to world-class APIs.
As a Senior Software Engineer in distributed systems you'll typically be working in Java or Python, and with a technology stack that includes AWS, Kubernetes, Spark, Airflow, gRPC, New Relic and more. Don't worry if you're not familiar with most of these, though - much more important is your understanding of how to design, build and operate distributed systems at scale, your ability to solve problems collaboratively with your teammates, and your passion to learn. You'll be able to break down large, difficult problems into bite-size chunks and support others in delivering them, as well as holding the quality bar high.
We are looking for somebody to help with the evolution of our advertising platform. Some of the challenges we are facing in the advertising domain are related to efficient delivery of our inventory, campaign forecasting, managing audiences, etc. Therefore, AdTech experience is required for this position to help with that evolution aligned with latest technologies from the industry.
We work as a global team, but in squads of 6 to 12 engineers and using Agile/Lean methodology. We don't need you to be a master of all the details of Scrum or Kanban, but you will be able to support your team in establishing sustainable flow to deliver on their projects. Sometimes this will mean being able to break down shared milestones across multiple teams in multiple locations, sometimes it will mean influencing your peers' thinking, and sometimes it will mean helping ensure the success of others by mentoring and coaching them effectively.
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.
