Team mission

At GetYourGuide, engineers work on problems that matter: building the systems that connect millions of travelers with experiences they'll remember for a lifetime. Our teams learn fast, take ownership, iterate, and build at real scale. AI is already reshaping how we build products and what travel can be. For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to do the most exciting work of their early career.

Your mission

• With support and mentorship, you’ll write clean code that ships to millions of travelers

• Work closely with senior and staff engineers to design and build reliable, scalable systems, bringing your own ideas to the table, not just executing tasks

• Take end-to-end ownership of features: from understanding the problem and designing the solution, to shipping, monitoring, and iterating

• Use AI tooling actively and intelligently as part of your daily workflow

• Help build AI-powered product experiences that change how travelers discover, book, and enjoy the world

• Participate in code reviews, improve our codebase, and help raise the quality bar across your team

• Engage with product and design partners to deeply understand the traveler problem you're solving, not just the ticket in front of you

Your toolkit

You're early in your career and you've already shipped things like: side projects, open source contributions, coursework, internships, freelance work, or hackathon builds. You know what it feels like to take something from an idea to a working product. You're genuinely excited about what AI makes possible.

We know everyone's journey is different. Excited about the role and tick some of these boxes? We'd love to hear from you:

• Ownership-driven: You treat your work as your own. You don't wait to be told something is broken or could be better; you help to improve it, communicating early, asking for feedback, and collaborating with others to create a better state.

• Deeply curious: You dig into problems until you actually understand them. You learn fast and apply what you learn even faster

• Bias for action: You ship, gather feedback, and iterate.

• Collaborative by nature: You know when to push ahead independently and when to pull in others. You ask questions early. You support your teammates through thoughtful feedback and clear communication

• You have hands-on experience with AI tools. You've built real things - projects using Claude or OpenAI APIs, apps built with tools like Lovable, or experiments that turned into something tangible

• Solid foundation in computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, basic system and API design concepts

• Familiar with building and shipping software, professionally or through your own projects

• Comfortable working across the stack either in backend or frontend systems

Extras that give you an edge

• An interest in contributing across the full stack (backend and frontend), with a willingness to learn our core technologies. This includes JVM languages (Kotlin, Java, Scala) for the backend and frontend essentials like Vue.js, TypeScript, and CSS/styling frameworks.

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts and distributed systems concepts like Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, microservices and event-driven architecture

• Open source contributions or a visible portfolio: a GitHub profile, a live project, something we can look at

How we’ll make your career journey extraordinary

• Annual personal growth budget and mentorship programs for continuous learning and development

• Work from anywhere in the world for 30 days per year

• A hybrid working approach with three days of in office collaboration (Mon, Tue, Thur) and two days of optional at home focus time.

• Opportunities to collaborate and socialize with team members through quarterly team events and yearly company-wide events

• Monthly transportation and fitness budget

• Discounts for you, your friends, and family on GetYourGuide activities

• Language reimbursement program

• Health and wellness benefits
