About the role

(Hybrid)

As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer in Stargate, you’ll be a key technical contributor in a front-end–focused squad within our Audience Experience group.

Stargate builds and owns the web login and authentication journey, along with a set of post-login experiences that millions of travellers rely on every day. This is highly visible, user-facing work — where performance, reliability and thoughtful design really matter.

You’ll spend most of your time doing what you do best: building things that work well at scale. From technical delivery to solving tricky problems, you’ll help shape how the team builds and ships software, while supporting and mentoring others along the way.

What you’ll be doing

• Building user-facing experiences: You’ll design and deliver high-quality front-end features using React, TypeScript and JavaScript, integrated with backend services.
• Owning technical delivery: You’ll take responsibility for seeing work through end-to-end — from idea and design to implementation, rollout and iteration.
• Solving complex problems: You’ll tackle non-trivial challenges around performance, state management, authentication flows and user experience.
• Working full stack: You’ll collaborate closely with backend systems and teams, contributing where needed and understanding how everything fits together.
• Driving engineering quality: You’ll help set and uphold standards around testing, code quality, observability and maintainability.
• Supporting experimentation: You’ll help run and learn from experiments that improve how travellers log in, stay engaged and move through our platform.
• Mentoring and coaching: You’ll support less experienced engineers through code reviews, pairing and knowledge-sharing — raising the bar for the whole team.

About you

• Senior-level engineer: You’ve built and shipped complex, customer-facing applications and are comfortable owning significant pieces of work.
• Strong front-end focus: You have deep experience with React, TypeScript and modern JavaScript, and know how to build fast, accessible, maintainable UIs.
• Full-stack capable: You’re confident working across the stack, integrating with backend APIs and understanding how systems work together.
• Quality-driven: You care about clean code, good tests, and leaving systems better than you found them.
• Product-minded: You think about users, not just implementations, and enjoy working closely with product and design partners.
• Collaborative: You enjoy working as part of a team and believe great software is built through shared ownership and open discussion.
• A multiplier: You like helping others grow — through thoughtful code reviews, mentoring and leading by example.
