About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our fast-growing team. This role is open to candidates based within a commutable distance (generally up to 1.5 hours) of our Oxford office. 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.

At Tripadvisor our Engineers are versatile and enjoy working on a variety of technical challenges. This is a full-stack position in which you will be working mostly on the backend with some front end projects from time to time.

Within Tripadvisor we have a fun and friendly environment where the key objective is getting things done. Working closely alongside product managers and designers, our engineers are part of the full process from software design, to code, to test, to deployment and back again. Most of our engineers release code to production every few days and we have a daily release cycle.

Tripadvisor's web stack includes Java, React, Typescript, GraphQL, Kubernetes, SQL and NoSQL databases, and runs on AWS. You don’t need to have experience with everything listed and will be able to complete coding languages in any language of your choice. You do need to be hungry to learn and will learn our tech stack on the job, if you don't know it already.
