About the Role

As a Software Engineer IC2 (Mid Level) in the Shopping Experience team, you will build experiences that drive customers to the right deals and guide them through a simple, intuitive journey to build a holiday package perfectly tailored to their needs.

At On the Beach, our Shopping Experience team owns the end to end journey from landing page to package build, helping millions of customers discover great deals and confidently customise their perfect holiday. We present package holidays clearly and informatively and manage the customisation options that allow customers to tailor their packages. We control the technical CMS features powering our home and landing pages and work with marketing to maximise effectiveness by highlighting promotions and merchandising to boost conversion. Our mission is to empower customers to build a package perfectly tailored to their needs, through a simple and intuitive path.

• Interest in AI assisted engineering, agentic coding workflows and modern developer tooling

Experience with React, TypeScript, .NET, APIs, AWS and observability tooling is beneficial.
