On The Beach reimagines the package holiday shopping experience. We specialise in transforming the complexity of planning package holidays—beach getaways, city escapes and long-haul destinations—into an inspiring and seamless journey of discovery. Our platform serves as the primary gateway for travellers embarking on their package holiday journey, from choosing the destination to customising every detail, including flights, accommodation, and extras, to suit their preferences. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll join our cross-functional Shop team, working with engineers, product managers, UX designers, data analysts, user researchers, and more to help people find and book their dream holiday package. You'll play a pivotal role in driving the evolution of our platform, working at the intersection of engineering, product, and user experience. You'll be working predominantly in our Next.js application, with opportunities to work across the full stack if desired. Our platform uses JavaScript/TypeScript, React, GraphQL, and a microservices architecture. We're big on experimentation and value customer impact over technical perfection. We move at pace and have a "fail fast" mentality, favouring data-insight over hypothesis and outcomes over output, to ensure our work is impactful and delivers value to our customers.

¡Hola! We're On the Beach. There's over 500 of us, mostly at home, and sometimes in our office in Manchester. We send nearly two million people on holiday every year (not together) and we're expecting to get to three million pretty sharpish. Why? Because we're the only holiday company who truly gets why going on your holidays is the best week or two of the year. With our market-leading offers, scalable, flexible and innovative technology, strong customer-value proposition and low cost base, we're challenging existing players and redefining how customers book, manage and experience their holidays. And it doesn't stop there. With huge opportunities for growth, we're on a long-term mission to become Europe's biggest and most loved online retailer of beach holidays, so our story's only really just begun... We're on the lookout for talented, beach-loving people to join us and contribute to the next chapter of our story. You will get to work on interesting projects and will be given the tools and autonomy to have the chance to make your impact on our growth plans. We're a down to earth and friendly bunch, with little bureaucracy or hierarchy, and whilst we may have grown in size, we've not lost our entrepreneurial spirit. It's in our DNA. You'll find diverse teams, reflective of the world we live in and the customers we serve. We believe strongly that difference, not uniformity, is critical to our success. We know that better decisions happen when they are made by a range of voices, perspectives and experiences. As an equal opportunities employer, we value and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
