Your mission
As our new Associate Software Engineer, your mission is to support the development of scalable, reliable, and innovative solutions that power critical business domains across Awaze. You’ll contribute to building a single source of truth for Availability, Price, and Extras, helping to enhance the experience for guests, property owners, and internal teams while supporting our transition away from legacy systems.

- Take part in operating and maintaining the systems you build, ensuring reliability and performance
Who we’re looking for
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re someone who is passionate about software engineering, eager to learn, and motivated by solving real-world problems in a collaborative environment.
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- Around 12+ months of experience building applications in any programming language
- A willingness to learn and work with our tech stack (experience in C# .NET is a plus, not a requirement)
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS and modern deployment practices
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g. GitHub, GitHub Actions, AWS CodeDeploy)
- An understanding of modern engineering practices like TDD, BDD, and pairing
- A collaborative, curious, and proactive approach to learning and delivering value
- Bonus points if you have experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, CDK, or Serverless
How you'll make an impact
- Contribute to the development of scalable services powering availability and pricing across Awaze
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and high-performing systems
- Help improve and modernise legacy systems as part of our transformation journey
- Support the implementation of best-in-class engineering practices and tooling
- Play an active role in shaping a strong engineering culture within your team and the wider organisation
