Job description

Who we are.

We are an online travel agency established in 2008, specializing in holidays to Bulgaria, with additional destinations including Greece and Turkey. We combine our travel expertise with our own digital solutions to make planning and booking a holiday simple and enjoyable. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of what we do, because we understand how much people’s time off and their time together as a family matters.

What we build.

Our customers find the right hotel, compare offers and book and pay online in a few minutes. Behind that simple experience is a platform we built ourselves: booking, search, payments and back-office systems, connected to hotels and travel suppliers. Because we own the technology end to end, we can move fast, try new ideas with real customers and see the results in our numbers, often the same day.

A business with a rhythm.

Travel follows the seasons. Spring brings the rush for summer bookings, autumn brings campaigns such as Black Friday, and every season brings new destinations, partners and offers. The work is varied, and there is always something new to improve.

How we work.

We are a small team with short decision paths; no unnecessary layers of approval, and no work lost in a backlog. Engineers sit close to the business, hear directly from colleagues who talk to customers, and help decide what to build next.

• We put the customer first and care about the details of what they see


• We improve our products step by step and ship often


• We use modern tools, including AI tools, every day

Hiring process.

Two conversations: a technical interview, then a final discussion about the role and the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional web development, including at least 3 years with Vue.js and 3 years with Laravel in production.


• Strong Vue 2 (Options API, single-file components) and working knowledge of Vue 3 (Composition API).


• Solid Laravel: routing, Blade, Eloquent, middleware, validation, queues, jobs and the scheduler; comfortable working in older Laravel versions and upgrading them.


• At ease with existing front-end code (Blade, jQuery, Bootstrap) alongside modern components.


• Excellent HTML, CSS and SCSS: responsive, mobile-first layouts, cross-browser work and maintainable styles in a large codebase.


• Proven experience building e-commerce or booking flows (checkout, payment integration, forms and validation) on customer-facing sites.


• Practical web performance and SEO: Core Web Vitals, caching, lazy loading, structured data.


• REST APIs, MySQL and Redis; Git, Docker and CI/CD; working knowledge of AWS.

Responsibilities

You will work on a high-traffic, customer-facing travel booking website where customers search, compare and book their holidays, most of them from a phone. It is a mature Laravel and Vue.js application with server-side rendering, an Elasticsearch-powered search, its own content management for landing pages and campaigns, and an integrated checkout with online payments. It generates revenue every day, so speed, clarity and reliability matter on every page.

You will join a small, hands-on engineering team, reporting to the CTO and working closely with business, marketing and QA colleagues. Teams form around problems, decisions are quick, and our workflow is AI-assisted.

You are the technical owner of the website and the go-to person for everything about it: what it looks like, how it works underneath and how it improves week after week.

You will:

• Build and maintain features across the full stack: Vue components, Blade templates, SCSS, and Laravel controllers, services, jobs and scheduled tasks


• Own the booking journey (search, listings, hotel pages, checkout and payment) with particular care for conversion, correctness and reliability


• Turn designs into pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces for mobile and desktop, and propose UX improvements backed by data


• Keep the site fast and easy to find: Core Web Vitals, server-side rendering, caching, technical SEO, analytics and tag management


• Integrate with internal REST APIs, the search service and third-party services


• Modernise the codebase step by step (framework, runtime and build-tool upgrades) without disrupting sales


• Introduce and grow automated tests, code review, CI and monitoring


• Plan and run releases, and investigate and resolve production issues


• Document what you build and learn, so knowledge is shared
