A fantastic opportunity for a strong Software Developer to join a successful, established luxury travel business and take a key role in developing and improving its bespoke internal technology systems.

Working closely with Head of IT and other colleagues across the business, you will develop and enhance business-critical applications, while identifying opportunities to improve processes through software, automation and AI.

The role

Develop, maintain and enhance bespoke business applications and internal systems

Work across existing codebases as well as new development projects

Design and build practical software solutions around real business requirements

Work extensively with relational databases and SQL

Develop APIs, integrations and internal tools

Investigate technical issues, debug effectively and deliver robust solutions

Work directly with non-technical users to understand problems and translate them into effective technical solutions

Identify inefficient or repetitive processes and explore opportunities for automation

Use AI-assisted development tools to improve development efficiency and develop AI-enabled solutions where they add genuine value

Gradually take greater ownership of the company's technology platform and development projects

You

We are looking for a genuinely strong coder with solid commercial software development experience and excellent problem-solving ability.

You will ideally have

A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline

Strong hands-on software development experience

Excellent programming fundamentals and analytical skills

Strong relational database and SQL experience

Experience developing real-world applications and working with existing codebases

Experience with APIs, integrations and software architecture

Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

The ability to understand complex business requirements and turn them into practical technical solutions

Excellent communication skills and confidence working with non-technical colleagues

A naturally curious, commercially minded approach to technology

Technical skills

Experience with C# / .NET and SQL Server would be particularly useful, alongside some exposure to Python, JavaScript, web development, APIs, data processing or automation.

You don't need to tick every technical box. Strong development fundamentals, the ability to learn quickly and a willingness to understand the wider business are more important.

Experience using ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot or similar AI development tools is also welcomed, although this is fundamentally a software development role for someone who can code, test and debug independently.

The opportunity

This is a particularly interesting role for a developer who wants to see the direct impact of their work.

You will be working with bespoke systems at the heart of a commercial business, with the opportunity to improve existing technology, introduce automation and AI, and help shape the future development of the company's internal platform.
