The impact you’ll have:

You’ll join our Web Infrastructure team, reporting to the Senior Lead Engineer. The team builds the shared foundations behind loveholidays’ customer experiences, spanning our web and app platforms, design system, edge computing and experimentation.

You’ll help shape these foundations by:

- Building platforms that enable market-leading web performance and accessibility by default, giving product teams the foundations to deliver fast https://medium.com/loveholidays-tech/the-evolution-of-the-loveholidays-web-platform-9b34f59c8c5a, inclusive customer experiences.

- Evolving our design system to help engineers, designers and AI agents deliver consistent, high-quality experiences.

- Improving developer experience and reliability through faster builds https://tech.loveholidays.com/build-baby-build-276e445f539e, actionable error reporting https://tech.loveholidays.com/stop-chasing-ghost-errors-a-systematic-approach-to-frontend-error-monitoring-that-actually-works-fe5e1c8790cc and tools that make systems easier to develop and operate.

- Owning problems from discovery through delivery by working directly with internal customers to identify priorities and validate that solutions meet their needs.

Your skillset:

- Strong frontend engineering and performance skills – you have deep experience with a modern frontend framework (we use Preact), TypeScript and CSS, and can diagnose performance bottlenecks and measure how architectural and implementation changes affect Core Web Vitals and real-world performance.

- Experience building shared frontend foundations – you’ve built and maintained robust and reusable design systems and developer tooling – managing governance, compatibility and providing clear documentation and migration paths for adopting teams.

- Accessibility engineering – you have experience embedding automated accessibility checks into component tests and CI, preventing regressions, and complementing automation with keyboard and assistive technology testing.

- Infrastructure ownership – you have experience operating production infrastructure through infrastructure as code tools, such as Terraform, with attention to safe changes, observability and reliability.

- Building systems for AI agents – you understand how clear interfaces, reusable capabilities, machine-readable context and automated validation help agents work reliably within defined constraints.

- Product engineering mindset – you’re comfortable with ambiguous problems, can challenge proposed solutions and weigh trade-offs, and use research, adoption metrics and performance data to guide decisions.

The interview journey:

1. TA screening - 30 mins

2. 1st stage interview with the Hiring Manager - 45 mins

3. Tech challenge - you can choose between a live and take home option

4. Final stage - consisting of discussions around three key areas

Perks of joining us:

- Company pension contributions at 5%.

- Individualised training budget for you to learn on the job and level yourself up.

- Discounted holidays for you, your family and friends.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
