This role is open to candidates based within a commutable distance (generally within 2-3 hours) of one of our office hubs in Oxford or London. We embrace flexibility in where and how work gets done and also value meaningful in-person moments to connect and collaborate. You can expect a remote-first working model with periodic in-person gatherings at your closest office for team connection, planning, or other key moments.

  • Collaborate in a team that releases code to production every few days with a daily release cycle.
  • Engage with a web stack including Java, GraphQL, Kubernetes, SQL and NoSQL databases, all on AWS.
Qualifications
  • Strong proficiency in an object-oriented programming language is essential.
  • Experience with backend systems; willingness to learn frontend skills as needed (not required for interview).
  • Familiarity with Java, GraphQL, Kubernetes, SQL/NoSQL databases, and AWS is desirable but not all tools are required.
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation packages, including base salary and annual bonuses.
  • Remote-friendly collaboration with optional on-site presence.

  • We're relentlessly curious. We push beyond the usual and the known.
  • We're better together. We learn from, respect, support, and value one another.
  • We serve our customers, always. We listen, question, respond, and strive for wow moments.
  • We strive for better, not perfect. We learn from mistakes, iterate, and grow.
  • Our workplace is for everyone. Bring your unique identities, abilities, and experiences to help revolutionize travel.
