The Viator Traveller Engineering team is distributed across Europe and is responsible for viator.com, the Viator mobile apps and all their supporting infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer II with Android development experience to join our Viator team. This role is open to candidates based within a commutable distance (generally within 2–3 hours) of one of our offices in London or Oxford. We embrace flexibility in where and how work gets done and also value meaningful in-person moments to connect and collaborate. You can expect a remote-first working model with periodic in-person gatherings at your closest office for team connection, planning, or other key moments.

At Viator our Engineers are versatile and enjoy working on a variety of technical challenges. This is a backend focused full-stack position in which you will be working mostly on the backend with some front end projects from time to time. While you need to be hungry to learn, you don’t need to be an expert at front end development right away - we can teach that part on the job and you won’t be tested on it in interviews.

Within Viator we have a fun and friendly environment where the key objective is getting things done. Our engineers take part in the full process from design, to code, to test, to deployment and back again for further iteration.

Our tech stack includes Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and GraphQL in a modular layout that follows the clean-architecture concept with MVVM.

What You Will Do

• Code! Our engineers focus on doing what they enjoy most and do best, writing code
• Touch code at every level – while the focus is app development, you’ll also have opportunities to work on backend microservices
• Collaborate closely with Product and design teams to define feature specifications and develop high quality deliverables for our customers
• Take responsibility for all aspects of software engineering, from design to implementation, development experience, QA and maintenance
• Work alongside other engineering groups located around the world

What We’re Looking For

• Experience of developing an Android app and familiarity with mobile web and back-end technologies would be beneficial
• At least 3 years’ experience of commercial software development, solving different kinds of technical problems
• Experience with reactive programming in native mobile platforms
• Willingness and ability to take on new technologies
• Ability to break down complex problems into simple solutions
• High quality verbal and written communication skills
• Sense of ownership and pride in your work

Perks of Working at Viator

• Competitive compensation packages, including base salary and annual bonus
• “Work your way” with flexibility to suit your lifestyle. We take a remote-friendly approach to collaboration, with the option to join on-site as often as you’d like in select locations.
• Flexible schedule. Work-life balance is ingrained in our culture by design. Trust and accountability make it work.
• Donation matching. We match qualifying charitable donations annually.
• Tuition assistance. Receive annual support for qualified programs.
• Lifestyle benefit. An annual benefit to spend on yourself. Use it on travel, wellness, or whatever suits you.
• Travel perks. We provide discounts and more.
• Employee assistance program. Resources and programs to help you through life’s challenges.
• Health benefits. We offer great coverage and competitive premiums.

Our Values

• We aspire to lead. Tap into your talent, ambition, and knowledge to bring us – and you – to new heights.
• We’re relentlessly curious. We push beyond the usual, the known, the “that’s just how it’s done.”
• We’re better together. We learn from, accept, respect, support, and value one another– and are creating something remarkable in the process.
• We serve our customers, always. We listen, question, respond, and strive for wow moments.
• We strive for better, not perfect. We won’t get it right the first time – or every time. We’ll provide a safe environment in which to make mistakes, iterate, improve, and grow.
• Our workplace is for everyone, as is our people powered platform. At Tripadvisor, we want you to bring your unique identities, abilities, and experiences, so we can collectively revolutionize travel and together find the good out there.
