We're one of the biggest travel search products in the world. Recently acquired by CTrip, China's biggest travel services provider, we have a unique position in the market and are continuing our incredible growth as a tech company.
Hiring at an experienced level in lots of disciplines: backend with microservices & distributed systems, big data & data science, full stack (modern frontend + api skills - particularly Node or Python), designers, product, iOS & Android. We're growing in all of our European offices; London and Barcelona in particular.
We want to hire people looking for large-scale challenges and building new products. In short, if you've got good industry experience, know what best practices look like, and have the drive to improve product and people around you, we're interested.
Our current focuses are around high-frequency travellers, data-driven personalization and recommendation, as well as developer enablement and tooling. What should the future look like -- how do we best use our data, our scale and new technologies to our advantage as we grow? Come help us find out.
Please ping me an email at alex.treppass@skyscanner.net for a referral. Happy to answer questions or pass you to someone who can. CV in pdf or word doc format would be ideal.
On a personal note, I see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability here. Engineers have room to make decisions, move fast, and the encouragement to make things better. It's exciting.
I've interviewed with Skyscanner (hackerrank, then skype, then onsite in Edinburgh) last year and had extremely positive impressions about process and company.
After each interview where people were involved they gave very detailed feedback and interviewers were very positive and knowledgeable.
I had the same experience, very nice people. I had one bad interview which probably cost me, but overall they take good care and leave a very positive impression
I had the opposite experience. First a phone interview, then HackerRank which was much easier than they made it out to be (definitely didn't require any knowledge about algorithms and data structures), then another phone interview with mostly the same content as the first one but more inane questions like "name a project where you made an impact", then I got rejected because they had "no openings in my seniority". Pretty frustrating.
