This is a full stack role with a stronger emphasis on frontend engineering, performant web applications and customer experience.
You will work closely with engineers, product managers, designers and analysts to deliver high quality solutions that improve customer outcomes and business performance. At On the Beach, our Shopping Experience team owns the end-to-end journey from landing page to package build, helping millions of customers discover great deals and confidently customise their perfect holiday.
We present package holidays clearly and informatively and manage the customisation options that allow customers to tailor their packages. We control the technical CMS features powering our home and landing pages and work with marketing to maximise effectiveness by highlighting promotions and merchandising to boost conversion.
Our mission is to empower customers to build a package perfectly tailored to their needs, through a simple and intuitive path. This is a role for engineers who care deeply about customer experience, performance and product quality at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
- Building scalable full stack applications and customer-facing platforms, particularly landing pages and content-driven experiences.

- Working with CMS platforms and tooling to support content and page generation at scale.
- Using experimentation, analytics and customer insights to guide decisions.
- Collaborating with product, design and commercial/marketing teams.
- Making pragmatic engineering decisions in fast-moving environments.
- Interest in AI-assisted engineering, agentic coding workflows and modern developer tooling.
Our full time hours are 37.5 per week, but we don't have rigid working hours so you can find the working pattern that's right for you. We have core working hours between 10am - 4pm, so we can collaborate and enjoy the social side of work.
