We're the most trusted, most visited automotive marketplace in the UK. A heritage brand and a tech innovator. Cars may be what we're best known for but we’re also the place for pretty much everything else on wheels, from e-bikes to caravans. In the automotive world, change is a constant, that’s why we take our job of untangling the complex car-buying journey very seriously.
We go our own way while embracing diversity and celebrating our differences. We're looking for Senior Software Engineers to help us build a technology platform for more than just the needs of Autotrader.co.uk. Utilising our public-facing web services and additional external data sources means that we'll be able to power businesses across the automotive industry. Spring Boot, Apache Solr, Cloud SQL and Apache Kafka power our platform and process millions of events per day. As a team, our software developers are responsible for ensuring service availability and responsiveness continue to improve. Our tech community value collaboration and teamwork. Interactions like pairing, code reviews and regular stand-ups mean our software developers stay connected.
You might assume that our name, "Autotrader," means you need to be a car enthusiast to work here.

- Knowledge of server-side frameworks such as Spring
- Web application design and RESTful API know-how
- A structured approach to programming and testing, such as TDD
- Passionate about mentoring and coaching and sharing technical expertise
- SQL/Relational databases
During our application process, you will be asked two questions to help us learn more about you and how you align with our values. And you'll receive 28 days holiday, plus bank holidays and comprehensive private medical cover. You'll be enrolled in our pension scheme, where our standard contributions are 7% and employee contributions are 5%. We also have comprehensive private medical cover, enhanced family leave provisions, a car salary sacrifice scheme, share-save options, and much more.
We always want to give you the support you need and help prioritise your wellbeing, that’s why we provide access to 24/7 online GP and dentist, as well as specialist support for assisted fertility, gender dysphoria, menopause, period care plans and lots more.
On top of all that, our hybrid model, Connected Working, combines the best of both worlds – office and home working. You'll spend a minimum of 3 days a week in the office with your team, focused on collaboration and connection. Additionally, we have our remote-first periods at set times during summer and winter. During these periods, you can work remotely anywhere in the UK and from certain locations abroad.
