Descripción de la oferta

Skyscanner is a leading global travel search site and app, a place where people are inspired to plan and book direct from millions of travel options at the best prices. We employ over 1,000 staff across eleven offices globally, and, having reached market leader status, we were recently acquired by Chinese online travel company Ctrip in a deal valued at £1.4bn. While we remain operationally independent, our acquisition by Ctrip allows us to take the business to the next level of accelerated global growth. It’s a hugely exciting time for Skyscanner and the over 80m people who use us every month. We are unbiased and free, and our secret is in our unique proprietary technology that connects people directly to everything the travel industry has to offer.

We’re seeking a technical hands-on engineering lead to join us and be part of our highly distributed global mobile engineering team. We have a mantra for scaling and as such this role will specifically focus on leading a squad in redesigning and leading the design and choice of technologies, as we develop our mobile-first, app strategy.

If you enjoy a hybrid role of technical leadership where you can utilise your experience to directly impact the growth and development of your engineering reports, alongside having influence across the wider Skyscanner business, this could be the place for you.

We’re building some really great tooling, with deploy pipelines out of the box to get moving quickly and exploring server side/hybrid rendering strategies for our iOS and Android apps as well as looking at ReactNative.

  • Execution at pace. Understand the resources available, the plan and the execution model
  • Focus on continually evolving enablement/development, pushing business impacting development/functionality to market quicker
  • Recruiting and retaining the best talent whilst strengthening cohesion and collaboration across the teams
