The Trainline is UK’s leading online provider of rail tickets and
journey planning, setting the pace in mobile rail-commerce with our app
ranked #1 in travel. Mobile is a strategic area of focus and investment
for our business – developing new propositions and entering new sectors
of the market, not simply porting our web offering onto mobile. Around
half of our customer visits now come from Smartphone devices (using a
mix of our website and our range of native mobile apps) generating
nearly half a million visits per day.
Last year in particular was a great year for us, our app rating has
maintained a consistent 4.5 star in the UK Play Store and is
consistently near the top of the charts in the Travel category. We
achieved this in part thanks to a brand refresh, sleeker UI, lot of
technical refactoring and adding lot of customer centric features which
help them make smarter journeys.
Join a highly skilled development team, building and delivering
software. Use agile practices like pair programming, code reviews,
IPM’s, continuous integration & delivery, TDD & BDD.
We focus on continuously improving our capabilities, architecture and
process as a team. We encourage our technical staff to blog about
technical innovation on Trainline’s engineering blog and to contribute
code to the open source community.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced Android developer with
strong engineering background and familiar with agile paradigm.
What you will work on:
o We believe in continuous improvement and you would be improving process, architecture and implementation on a daily basis.

o Work on delivering customer centric features using the best tools and practices.
You will be part of a great cross-functional team with all the
skills necessary to deliver the product end to end (product owner,
business analysis, developer, QA & operations skills)
