This role is open to candidates based within a commutable distance (generally within 2–3 hours) of one of our office hubs in Oxford or London. 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.Within Viator we have a fun and friendly environment where the key objective is getting things done. Working closely alongside product managers and designers, our engineers are part of the full process from software design, to code, to test, to deployment and back again. Most of our engineers release code to production every few days and we have a daily release cycle.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. Viator’s web stack includes Java, GraphQL, Kubernetes, SQL and NoSQL databases, and runs on AWS. You don’t need experience with everything listed, but strong Java proficiency is essential for this role and you will be required to code in Java during the interviews.Perks of Working at Viator
