About Skyscanner

Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 100 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily.

Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all.

Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. (Ambitious? Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here.)

About the roleHybrid

This is your boarding call to Wombat 🐾, the team behind Falcon, our microsite platform powering Skyscanner’s landing pages (aka the unsung heroes of SEO and organic growth).

As a Software Engineer 2, you’ll help us level up Falcon in 2026, making it faster, smarter, and smoother for teams building traveller experiences across Flights, Hotels, Car Hire, Destinations, and Packages. You’ll get hands-on with modern front-end tech while learning how to run production systems at scale (no small feat when millions of travellers are involved).

Expect a mix of learning, building, experimenting (hello AI 👀), and making a real impact on how travellers discover the world.

What you’ll be doing

Building scalable microsite experiences: You’ll work with React, JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js to create fast, reliable landing pages that travellers actually find (and love).

Shipping production-ready code: You’ll learn how to build, deploy and monitor systems using tools like GitHub Actions and New Relic.

Improving platform performance: You’ll help make Falcon faster, smoother and more resilient — because nobody likes a slow page.

Collaborating across teams: You’ll partner with product, design and experience teams to bring ideas to life and get pages live quickly.

Exploring AI-powered workflows: You’ll experiment with how AI can speed up and enhance how we build and mainta
