Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack (Glasgow or Edinburgh)

As a skilled Software Engineer, you’ve worked on modern front end technologies and have some server side experience. You’re excited by 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, straightforward and inclusive, striving to make them accessible to all. 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, you’ll be responsible for key service components. Through your work, you’ll define and implement services that make up a vital sub-system in your area. There’ll be the chance to deal with internal customers directly and be the main contact for your team, solving ad hoc queries, providing first line support and handling admin for core ‘off-the-shelf’ systems. You’ll be accountable for your own projects and trusted to deliver, and also form part of a broader team that takes collective responsibility for making success happen.

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. Employees are required to come to the office 2 days per week.

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.
