Senior Software Developer | Webigence and Spark Travel

About Webigence and Spark Travel. Webigence has 25 years of experience crafting UX‑first, often highly complex software. Our engineers pair forward‑thinking agile practices with an obsession for intuitive design, shipping products that feel effortless even when the logic underneath is anything but. Alongside a handful of long‑standing third‑party clients, we’re scaling our own SaaS product—Spark Travel—at pace. You’ll join a smart, collaborative team that pushes each other to articulate and defend every architectural decision in pursuit of best‑in‑class software. Spark Travel itself is on a mission to drag the tailor‑made travel industry into the 21st century. Our cloud‑native platform unifies sales, supplier contracting, dynamic pricing, and on‑trip operations—everything from the first quote to the traveller’s safe return. The market is huge, the incumbents are slow, and we already have meaningful traction: roughly 35 customers and an accelerating sign‑up pace, a very healthy sales pipeline, and a roadmap brimming with genuinely novel features. With a fantastic existing team across engineering, product, customer success, marketing, and sales, we’re gearing up for hyper‑growth.

We’re looking for two down‑to‑earth professionals, a conscientious Senior Software Developer, to build on what already works and unlock our next wave of innovation.

• Raise the bar sensibly. Whether you’re refining our Azure architecture as CTO or shipping revenue‑critical features as Senior Dev, you’ll set high standards without reinventing the wheel.
• Champion intuitive user experiences. Both roles care deeply about usability, ensuring our platform feels effortless for travel pros and their travellers.
• Own the craft. Understand the problem, ship the solution, measure the outcome—and when something’s working, double‑down on it.
• Move the needle. Your work will streamline the day‑to‑day of leading tailor‑made tour operators and DMCs—enhancing trip experiences for their travellers as we scale.

• Own mission‑critical modules such as pricing engines, itinerary or form builders, client proposal app, etc.
• Write clean, tested code; automate everything from CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) to performance benchmarks.
• Investigate and diagnose issues and perform root cause analysis.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Customer Success.
• Propose incremental improvements and occasionally explore new tech (e.g. Azure OpenAI) when it clearly solves a problem.

• Hold a 1st-class or 2:1 degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline.
• 4+ years building modern web or data applications with .NET and at least one JavaScript framework.
• Hands-on experience with Azure or another major cloud provider, plus an understanding of microservices and event-driven architectures.
• You love balancing delivery speed with technical excellence, and you’re keen to keep learning.
