Tripadvisor Experiences Engineering is seeking a product-focused Software Engineer II to join their fast-growing team building the world's leading marketplace for travel experiences. This full-stack role leverages Java, SQL, React, AWS, and AI tools to power millions of traveler experiences globally.
You will drive impact by owning features from design to deployment, connecting engineering work directly to traveler value. You'll shape the product by partnering with product, design, and data teams to influence what gets built and define specifications. The role emphasizes collaboration and mentorship—reviewing code, providing thoughtful feedback, and coaching less experienced engineers to maintain high quality standards.
A key aspect of this position is innovating with AI, using agentic AI as a daily partner to plan approaches, automate routine tasks, and focus energy on solving complex technical challenges. You'll champion operational health by taking hands-on ownership of system reliability, building monitoring dashboards, managing alerts and support cases, and fixing underlying bugs to improve service resilience.
The position requires designing and implementing clean, maintainable solutions with a focus on performance, security, and automated testing. You'll work in a remote-first model with periodic in-person gatherings at the Oxford office for team connection and collaboration.
Minimum qualifications include 2-3 years of experience following a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field. Required skills: full-stack web development with proficiency in modern backend languages (Java, C#, Go, Python) and relational databases; strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms); data-driven approach using operational metrics and experiments; fluency coding with AI tools like Cursor or Claude; ability to operate effectively in global teams. Exposure to AWS, React, or NoSQL databases is valued but not required. The company values curiosity, creative problem-solving, and engineers from diverse technical backgrounds.
