Company mission
Omio's mission is to bring together more than 1,000 transportation providers across trains, buses, flights, ferries, cars, and airport transfers to make it easier for travellers to focus on what really matters: the journey.
Role
Who you are
- Customer focused: You have a passion for building intuitive and scalable products that enhance our analytical capabilities and drill down to what works best for our customers
- Experienced and educated: You have a degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience and worked multiple years (3+ years) with production systems of high availability and high traffic
- Up to code: You have experience in software development, you write clean, lean, effective code in multiple languages, all version controlled. You pick the right tool for the job and are not limited to a single paradigm or language
- Pragmatic: You and your team take on complex multi-domain problems, analyse, design, build modular solutions, and deliver end-to-end in an MVP, value-first and iterative approach
- An automator: You remove repetition and snowflakes through scripting and automation tools. You have deployed, monitored, and supported applications across stacks and technologies
- You think big: A small, innocent application can always grow. You have ideas on how to distribute a system so that it can work at scale
- A team player: You guide and help your teammates with planning and delivering high quality software and also take on communication across teams
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Core Platform team

- Create robust scalable solutions using state-of-the-art technologies. You will support and build key components that are used throughout all of Omio (mobile, web apps)
- Work with your team to rapidly test ideas on users, use results for iterations and improve our product
- Test new languages, libraries and frameworks and evaluate their potential to make sure we never stop innovating. You will share best practices with other teams and help make those a company standard
- Apply your engineering experience to automate processes and help to guide the team during the decision making
- Our tech stack: Typescript, Node.js, React.js, ES6, Rest API/GraphQL, Styled components, Jest, Cypress, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub, Jenkins
Our take
The internet has made traveling extremely easy in comparison to the past, with information on most public transport methods and routes being available online. Despite this abundance of information, complex trips often require research and fare comparison across many different websites, a process that calls for a more integrated solution.
Omio provides a universal travel comparison tool for trains, buses, flights, ferries, and airport transfers across over 1,000 worldwide travel partners. Whilst there are many existing comparison platforms for specific transport methods such as Skyscanner for flights and TheTrainLine for buses, Omio has taken a unique approach by providing information on all major public transport methods within an integrated app. Furthermore, the company’s inspiration magazine The Window Seat and mobile application contribute towards an end-to-end travel assistant that stands out from competitors.
Not too long ago, the company raised series E funding that is being put towards reviving global expansion activities that had temporarily been put on hold, including through strategic mergers and acquisitions. Whilst it has re-approached earlier expansion plans, the company is doing so with greater discipline.
