#673We're one of the biggest travel metasearch products in the world by traffic... and we want to 10x that :)
Hiring at a senior level in lots of key disciplines: backend with microservices & distributed systems, big data & data science, full stack and frontend, designers, product, iOS & Android. We are growing in all of our European offices - London and Barcelona being the two newest.
In short, if you've got a great track record and experience in one or more of these areas, know what best practices look like, and have the drive to make things better, we're interested.
We're looking for people interested in working on large-scale challenges and building new products. We have an incredible amount of historical data and a unique position in the market. What should the future look like? How do we best use our data, our scale and new technologies to our advantage as we grow? We're particularly interested in data-driven personalization and recommendation, exploring new travel products and experiences, as well as developer enablement and tooling.
We're one of the very few unicorn companies HQ'd in Europe who are profitable - and have been so for the past 7 years. Recently we've had the director of Amazon S3, Bryan Dove join us as our VP engineering. In London you would be working closely with him alongside some very experienced industry figures in a pretty cool and central location.
You can apply at http://www.skyscanner.net/jobs/ - or ping me an email at alex (.) treppass [at] skyscanner.net for a referral. Happy to answer questions or pass you to someone who can.
On a personal note, I see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability. Engineers have a LOT of room to make decisions and move fast, and the encouragement to make things better. It's an exciting place to be.

#674OpenRent | London, UK (Brixton) | https://www.openrent.co.uk | Full-Time | ONSITE OpenRent is the way people rent property online - a force for good in an industry tarnished by rip-off agencies. Enabled by an unrelenting focus on technology, we now let more properties than any high-street agency in the UK. In the last 12m we let over £9.5bn worth of property, without charging any admin fees to tenants. We're hiring d…
Excited to see a platform that doesn't charge fees to tenants. The rental industry in the UK, and especially London, is ripe for disruption. No fees is a good first step. Another example, one search criteria that many renters will not compromise on is shared housing, yet many (all?) platforms do not offer this search filter. Gotta admit the salary range for the lead engineer position is worrying. You won't find anyon…
The salary range is fairly broad, and if anyone with lots of experience comes forward we'll happily negotiate. We want incentived, smart engineers, and hopefully we're approachable enough that there shouldn't be a barrier in terms of salary / benefits. Of course, in London, we might not be able to compete with the hedge funds / banks, but I think we offer something very different.
If you want to have a massive impact, and be rewarded for success, we're hopefully a great place to be. Hopefully our remuneration package is comparable / better than other similar roles - and if not, we'll certainly look to change that.
Hiring isn't easy, and like with anything, we'll keep learning and developing as we go!
If you're motivated and like the sound of what we're doing, don't hesitate to reach out.

#675We have a stable backend written in Haskell, with a dash of Java for manipulating PDFs. The front-end is written in Javascript, mostly using React.
We need someone with a strong Haskell background to help maintain and expand our Haskell backend, find and fix performance problems, and help us maintain our Haskell packages (e.g. hpqtypes, happstack-static-routing, consumers). We are looking for someone who is in touch with the Haskell ecosystem and can make decisions as to what the best tools to use are, or to develop them when deemed necessary.
