Why join us?


Since 2021, we’ve built up a great technology team of engineers in the UK & Denmark (c.200), responsible for solving the largest technology replatforming project ever in the travel industry. As we roll out our new core platform in 2024, it's a genuinely exciting time to join us as we continue to innovate, evolve and grow our platforms with one simple vision and aim: "to delight our owners and guests."


Do you want to join in the fun of transforming the travel industry?


Role:Senior Software Engineer | Point in Time Pricing team


Joining our engineering teams, you’ll join a culture which revolves around getting things done. We deliver with small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products using a cutting edge stack in a best-idea-wins meritocracy. We operate what we build – which means reliability is key and devops is part of every engineer’s job description.


Day-to-day you will:


  • Work as part of a full stack product team responsible for building innovative products to ensure we continue to deliver optimal experiences for our guests and owners.
  • Have the opportunity to be the guiding technical force within the team, pairing with the more junior developers, and delivering software in a modern agile environment.
  • Work alongside other engineers and a data scientist to provide the best prices for our customers and for the business.
  • Help shape the overall architecture and tech strategy for the Point in Time pricing platform using the right technology for the task, rather than allowing the technology to dictate the solution.
  • Contribute to driving best engineering practices such as CI/CD, TDD, cloud architectures and pair programming.
  • Be an active member of the engineering and wider tech community within Awaze


What will you offer?


As the Point in Time Pricing team continues to mature our offerings, we’re looking for a senior software engineer to help drive best practice and help to shape the technical direction of the team going forwards.

  • Non-relational database technologiessuch as DynamoDB or MongoDB
  • Familiarity withcontainerisation technologies(Docker, Kubernetes etc)
  • Experience withmodern quality practices, such as pairing, TDD, BDD

Part 1) You’ll have a cultural interview with two of our Engineering Managers, where we will be looking for you to evidence your suitability for the role, but of course this isn’t one sided – you’ll get plenty of chance to ask questions, too. (1hr)

Part 2) You’ll complete a pair programming exercise with two of our senior engineers. Don’t worry though, we’re not trying to catch you out, instead we’re looking to see how solve problems and how you interact/work in a pair. (1hr)


And, we commit to provide you with a decision within 24 hours of your interview.
