Be part of the team transforming global travel experiences

Luxury Escapes is one of the world’s fastest-growing travel websites, with over 8 million members, recently winning the National Travel Industry Award for Most Outstanding Online Travel Agency

We are growing rapidly & seeking a Mid-level Software Engineer to join our Flights team.

Working at Luxury Escapes

Our mission is to delight our customers with incredible deals for the world's best holidays. We are a collective of forward-thinking people, driven to challenge the travel industry and ourselves to bring outstanding travel experiences to our customer community.

Our Sydney office is on Kent Street - a short walk from Wynyard station and close to great cafes in Barangaroo.

Luxury Escapes is an in-person company. We work and collaborate together, face to face in our Barangaroo office.

About the team

Our cross-functional teams include Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers focused on delivering solutions and solving problems rather than simply completing tickets. The structure is flat, and the process is lean, with a culture of MVP, iteration, and "build, measure, learn" at the heart of everything we do. We share in-depth experience in Node/Typescript, React, PostgreSQL, AWS SQS, SNS, S3 Lambda, and more.

We love learning and have regular "Tech Forums" to share knowledge. We also have some pretty great senior devs, so you'll be both well-supported and challenged.

Our Flights’ team goal is to provide customers with fast results, a wide range of choices, flexibility in booking options, and overall best-in-class UX. If you love digging deep into complex business domains, you'll love flights

Some problems we're solving include:

  • Search relevancy – How do we trade-off between price, stops, duration, departure times etc., to provide the most relevant results to our customers?
  • Caching – What's the best strategy for an optimal balance between speed and accuracy?
  • Choice and flexibility – What new partners should we integrate with, and what features should we prioritise, to maximise choice and flexibility for our customers?
  • Flight streaming – To improve our users' experience, we'll be using WebSockets or SST to stream flight search results to the user in real-time.
  • Multi-city and Open Jaw flights – allowing travellers to extend their flight itinerary and plan a trip around multiple countries, or travel to/ return from different destinations.
  • Price alerts – Real-time updates for our customers when a flight to the destination they're travelling to gets cheaper.

You'll work with the team to

  • Deliver features and enhancements relating to the new Luxury Escapes Platform, to ensure all Luxury Escapes members, vendors and internal teams have the best customer journey experience.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and develop software solutions that meet business needs and deliver value to customers.
  • Apply best practices and industry standards for software development, such as agile methodologies, test-driven development, and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD).
  • Implement and maintain APIs to enable integration with third-party services, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and payment processors.
  • Monitor system performance and reliability, and proactively identify and resolve issues to ensure maximum uptime and customer satisfaction.
  • Participate in code reviews & other quality assurance activities to ensure high-quality software delivery.

Relevant Skills:

  • Proficiency in JavaScript and its frameworks, including React, Node.js and Typescript.
  • Solid knowledge of SQL, specifically PostgreSQL, for database management.
  • Familiarity with RESTful API design principles and implementation.
  • Experience in automated testing and continuous integration processes.

What’s in it for you?

We consider our people one of our most important assets – and we want our team to love their working lives When you work for Luxury Escapes, you can look forward to:

  • Excellent Remuneration package
  • 20% Discount on Luxury Holidays and Experiences
  • Breakfast and lunch are provided 5-days a week
  • Health and Well-being programs
  • 1/2 day of birthday leave
  • Hackathons
  • A super collaborative team that enjoys creating great platforms

If you’re interested in the role but don't check every box, apply anyway, we’d love to hear from you.

We embrace diversity in our people and make hiring decisions based on your experiences and skills. We do not discriminate based on gender identity, religion, race, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. You'll find a collaborative, inclusive, and respectful workplace here at Luxury Escapes, and we are proud to celebrate who you are.
