Job Description:

We are awaze, the largest managed vacation rentals and holiday resorts business in Europe, which brings together some of the continent’s most trusted travel brands, including cottages.com, Hoseasons and NOVASOL.

With over 1.5 million bookings each year, we're proud to offer our guests a choice of over 100,000 properties in our portfolio, in 25 countries across Europe.

Position: Software Engineer, Pricing and Channel Management

We’re entering an exciting new phase of our tech and product strategy, with a focus on innovation, experimentation, and conversion at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to elevate the web and mobile experience for our guests and owners, driving seamless journeys across all our group companies.

To achieve our goals, we’re looking to make some key hires—are you ready to be part of the transformation and help shape the future of the travel industry?

? What will your role be?

Joining our engineering teams, you’ll join a culture which revolves around getting things done. We deliver with small, fully autonomous teams that have real ownership of their products using a cutting edge stack in a best-idea-wins meritocracy. We operate what we build – which means reliability is key and devops is part of every engineer’s job description.

Day-to-day you will:

• Work as part of a full stack product team responsible for building innovative products to ensure we continue to deliver optimal experiences for our guests and owners.
• Work alongside other engineers and a data scientist to provide the best prices for our customers and for the business.
• Help shape the overall architecture and tech strategy for the pricing & channel management platform using the right technology for the task, rather than allowing the technology to dictate the solution.
• Contribute to driving best engineering practices such as CI/CD, TDD, cloud architectures and pair programming.
• Be an active member of the engineering and wider tech community within Awaze

? Who are you?

The pricing and channel management team have entered an exciting phase of innovation and growth, and need strong technical support to accomplish our goals. The team is responsible for the vast majority of the pricing lifecycle at Awaze, from estimating prices for newly recruited properties, to price adjustments year to year and finally to managing the third party downstream channels of some of our partners.

We're looking for an experienced Engineer (back end | infrastructure focussed), with some (or all) of the following skills and an ability & willingness to learn would make you a great match to come and join us:

• AWS: developing and deploying cloud native solutions using Terraform or similar IaC tools (ESSENTIAL)
• Relational database technologies, such as PostgreSQL, including experience with query optimisation and schema design
• Non-relational database technologies such as DynamoDB or MongoDB
• Familiarity with containerisation technologies (Docker, Kubernetes etc)
• Experience with modern quality practices, such as pairing, TDD, BDD

? What will we offer you?

Upon joining, we’ll set out your journey with us with a personalised competency framework and we’ll give you the freedom to inform the best way of working to get the job done and help us shape the culture of our international teams.

We’ll also reward you with:

• Annual Bonus Scheme
• 25 days holidays (plus the option to buy up to 5 additional days)
• Holiday Discounts (18% to 20% discount across all AWAZE brands)
• Personal training allowance via Sunlight
• Hybrid working (we work 2 days in our Manchester office every week, with 3 days working from home)
