Software Engineer -.Net

We’re On the Beach! Since 2003, we've been rewriting the rules of how people discover, book, and experience their perfect getaway. What started as connecting people to short-haul beach holidays has evolved into something much bigger - premium beach destinations, long-haul adventures, and vibrant city breaks – and that’s just the beginning of our story. We send around two million holidaymakers on their dream breaks every year. And we're still growing.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a strong foundation in cloud development, scalable systems, and backend engineering. You’ll contribute to the design and implementation of high-performance systems, build cloud-native applications, and collaborate closely with teammates to deliver quality software that solves real business problems.

What you’ll be doing day to day:

• Build and enhance scalable backend services and applications that process large volumes of data.
• Develop and maintain services with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Implement well-documented, testable APIs that enable seamless platform integration.
• Work closely with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to clarify requirements and deliver the right solution.
• Write clean, maintainable code and participate actively in code reviews.
• Support production systems, identify root causes of issues, and contribute to improving observability and automation.
• Document systems and help onboard and guide new team members.

You’ll be a great addition to our team if you have the following skills, knowledge and experience:

• Solid hands-on experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms.
• Experience building event-driven or high-throughput systems (desirable).
• Strong programming skills in C# and familiarity with the .NET ecosystem.
• Understanding of CI/CD, monitoring, testing, and software lifecycle fundamentals.
• Comfortable collaborating, giving feedback, and helping others improve.

What to expect from our interview process:

We’ll run a multiple stage interview process, one stage of which will be an in-person interview at our fabulous Aeroworks office in Manchester city centre. We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to perform at their best. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process please let the Talent Acquisition team know and they will be happy to assist.

Ways of working:

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. We also have hybrid working so we all work from home and from our Aeroworks office in Manchester City Centre. As a team we are in the office 1 day a fortnight (usually Tuesday or Wednesday).
