We're one of the largest travel search products in the world. We have a unique position in the market and are continuing our incredible growth as a tech company. We'll (very!) soon be a top-100 website in the world by traffic.
Hiring at an experienced level in lots of disciplines: back-end with microservices & distributed systems, big data & data science & machine learning, full stack (modern frontend + API skills), designers, product, iOS & Android. Languages we like and have great tooling for: Java, Python, JavaScript & NodeJS.
We have several offices in Europe and are focusing on Scotland, London and Barcelona in particular.
We want to hire great people to solve large-scale challenges and build industry-leading new products. In short, if you've got strong software industry and tech company experience, know what best practices look like, and have the drive to improve product and people around you, we're interested.
I 've recently started at Skyscanner and see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability here. We have room to make decisions, move fast, and the encouragement to make things better. It's exciting.
Please ping me an email at raunaq.vohra@skyscanner.net if you want me to refer you or if you have any questions. If you'd like your referral to be attributed to me directly but don't want/need to get in touch, please apply via https://grnh.se/3dea97751 (the Skyscanner jobs link above works if you don't want to attribute). A note to potential candidates - please consider 'senior' level positions only if you have several years of experience acting as a technical lead for large-scale projects. The bar for senior engineers is very high. If you don't have this yet, I'd recommend waiting for software engineer II positions to become available. Also, please specify which job are you applying to from the link above and which locations(s) you'd prefer.
Permanent & onsite roles only. Relocation / visa assistance for senior roles.

Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we're building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack! (see below). [NOTE: this is not a pie-in-the-sky venture, you would be joining a team who has a 1+year-old working product, with prospects of new greenfield products built around the first.]
Job positions (in no particular order of preference):
- Rust developer: you dealt with C/C++/Objective-C in the past but are ready to move on. However, you're still not convinced about garbage collected languages, so you have been looking at Rust lately, or willing to learn it. You're not a smart-ass though, so you would be excited to expose your Rust code's API to be consumed by higher level languages.
- FP developer: you value immutability and lack of side effects because you have lived the nightmares of race conditions and heisenbugs in your career. You're disgusted with most job positions out there because the tech-stack described in most of them don't look safe enough to be serious (sure they can build snapchats with them, but not robust software that would end up being used by NASA or Waymo). Desirable to be familiar with F#.
- Desktop/mobile developer: you cringe at the idea of "Electron apps", because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer & more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)
- SmartContracts/blockchain developer: you've used/developed smart contracts in languages Ivy, MiniScript, or Solidity(EVM), or are willing to learn this technology. Desirable to have familiarity with atomic swaps, HTLCs or zero knowledge proofs. Excited about things like bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble/grin, DAI, etc
- C#/.NET developer: generics, LINQ, VisualStudio, EntityFramework et al are your bread and butter. You value the diversity that comes from learning other languages and tech-stacks but also the stability that a robust platform like .NET provides, which you based your career on. Desirable to be familiar with Xamarin, but not required.
- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don't already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and/or AzureDevOps is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)
Important perk for all positions: all the code/scripts you'll write will be opensource, at least for the first 4months.

PS: Abstain from applying if you expect a lead/managerial role, because the team is not yet big enough to need extra leadership for now.
PS II: Please be a bit patient when expecting an answer as I'm travelling this week.
