About Viator

Viator, a Tripadvisor company, is the leading marketplace for travel experiences. We believe that making memories is what travel is all about. And with 300,000+ travel experiences to explore—everything from simple tours to extreme adventures (and all the niche, interesting stuff in between)—making memories that will last a lifetime has never been easier. With industry-leading flexibility and last-minute availability, it's never too late to make any day extraordinary. Viator. One app, 300,000+ travel experiences you’ll remember.

The Viator Traveller Engineering team is distributed across Europe and is responsible for viator.com, the Viator mobile apps and all their supporting infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer II with Android development experience to join our Viator team, working remotely from anywhere in the United Kingdom or hybrid from a Tripadvisor office in Oxford or London.

Within Viator we have a fun and friendly environment where the key objective is getting things done. Our engineers take part in the full process from design, to code, to test, to deployment and back again for further iteration.

Our tech stack includes Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and GraphQL in a modular layout that follows the clean-architecture concept with MVVM.

Would you like to build features end to end? Would you enjoy working with a large number of technologies? Do you like moving quickly, releasing features daily, working with other smart and talented engineers? If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk to you.

What you will do

• Code! Our engineers focus on doing what they enjoy most and do best, writing code.
• Touch code at every level – while the focus is app development, you’ll also have opportunities to work on backend microservices.
• Collaborate closely with Product and design teams to define feature specifications and develop high quality deliverables for our customers.
• Take responsibility for all aspects of software engineering, from design to implementation, development experience, QA and maintenance.
• Work alongside other engineering groups located around the world.

What we’re looking for

• Experience of developing an Android app and familiarity with mobile web and back-end technologies would be beneficial.
• At least 3 years’ experience of commercial software development, solving different kinds of technical problems.
• Experience with reactive programming in native mobile platforms.
• Willingness and ability to take on new technologies.
• Ability to break down complex problems into simple solutions.
• High quality verbal and written communication skills.
• Sense of ownership and pride in your work.

Perks of Working at Viator

• Competitive compensation packages, including base salary, annual bonus, and equity.
• “Work your way” with flexibility to suit your lifestyle. We take a remote-friendly approach to collaboration, with the option to join on-site as often as you’d like in select locations.
• Flexible schedule. Work-life balance is ingrained in our culture by design. Trust and accountability make it work.
• Donation matching. Give back? Give more! We match qualifying charitable donations annually.
• Tuition assistance. Want to level up your career? We love to hear it! Receive annual support for qualified programs.
• Lifestyle benefit. An annual benefit to spend on yourself. Use it on travel, wellness, or whatever suits you.
• Travel perks. We believe that travel is employee development, so we provide discounts and more.
• Employee assistance program. We’re here for you with resources and programs to help you through life’s challenges.
• Health benefits. We offer great coverage and competitive premiums.

Our Values

• We aspire to lead. Tap into your talent, ambition, and knowledge to bring us – and you – to new heights.
• We’re relentlessly curious. We push beyond the usual, the known, the “that’s just how it’s done.”
• We’re better together. We learn from, accept, respect, support, and value one another– and are creating something remarkable in the process.
• We serve our customers, always. We listen, question, respond, and strive for wow moments.
• We strive for better, not perfect. We won’t get it right the first time – or every time. We’ll provide a safe environment in which to make mistakes, iterate, improve, and grow.
• Our workplace is for everyone, as is our people powered platform. At Tripadvisor, we want you to bring your unique identities, abilities, and experiences, so we can collectively revolutionize travel and together find the good out there.
