Role
Who you are
- Experience with React, TypeScript, .NET, APIs, AWS and observability tooling is beneficial
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer IC2 (Mid Level) in 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
- This is a full stack role with a stronger emphasis on frontend engineering, performant web applications and customer experience. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, designers and analysts to deliver high quality solutions that improve customer outcomes and business performance
- 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
- This is a role for engineers who care deeply about customer experience, performance and product quality at scale
- We are looking for engineers with full stack fundamentals, product thinking and curiosity to learn
- Building scalable full stack applications and customer-facing platforms, particularly landing pages and content-driven experiences
- Strong frontend engineering skills using modern web technologies and frameworks
- Developing backend APIs and distributed systems
- Building performant, accessible and reliable user experiences — with an understanding of Core Web Vitals

- Using experimentation, analytics and customer insights to guide decisions
- Collaborating with product, design and commercial/marketing teams
- Making pragmatic engineering decisions in fast-moving environments
- Interest in AI-assisted engineering, agentic coding workflows and modern developer tooling
- Our full time hours are 37.5 per week, but we don't have rigid working hours so you can find the working pattern that's right for you. We have core working hours between 10am - 4pm, so we can collaborate and enjoy the social side of work
Application process
- After a call with our Talent Team, we’ll run a Three stage interview process which will all be virtual and consist of:
- 1st stage - 30 minute Hiring Manager call
- 2nd stage - 60 minute Behavioural with an Engineering Manager & Senior Engineer
- 3rd Stage - 60 minute Tech Pairing exercise with a Senior Engineer & IC2 Engineer
Our take
With around 80% of UK citizens’ holidays booked online, On The Beach has become a challenger brand in the beach and package holiday sector. With around two million people using its platform to book their holidays abroad, it utilises brand partnerships to provide a wealth of discounts and deals for holidaymakers.
Having entered the London Stock Exchange in 2015, On The Beach has grown its brand since 2004. It shows no signs of slowing down either, with revenue surging in 2025 to set the company up for a new objective. It will now use its growing AI toolkit to disrupt the cruise holiday market, a fast-growing travel sector that the company has not yet capitalised on.
