Manchester, New Hampshire, United Kingdom On the Beach Full time

Hola

We're On the Beach. There's over 600 of us, mostly at home, and sometimes in our office in Manchester.

We send nearly two million people on holiday every year (not together) and we're expecting to get to three million pretty sharpish. Why? Because we're the only holiday company who truly gets why going on your holidays is the best week or two of the year.

With our market-leading offers, scalable, flexible and innovative technology, strong customer-value proposition and low cost base, we're challenging existing players and redefining how customers book, manage and experience their holidays.

And it doesn't stop there. With huge opportunities for growth, we're on a long-term mission to become Europe's biggest and most loved online retailer of beach holidays, so our story's only really just begun…

We're on the lookout for talented, beach-loving people to join us and contribute to the next chapter of our story.

You will get to work on interesting projects and will be given the tools and autonomy to have the chance to make your impact on our growth plans.

You'll find diverse teams, reflective of the world we live in and the customers we serve. We believe strongly that difference, not uniformity, is critical to our success. We know that better decisions happen when they are made by a range of voices, perspectives and experiences. As an equal opportunities employer, we value and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

What you'll be doing

​We've been transforming how we acquire, manage, and distribute travel inventory, moving from fragmented supplier integrations to a unified, scalable platform. While we've made great progress, there's still plenty to optimize.

Our platform powers supplier connectivity, data acquisition, distribution, and booking workflows, ensuring fresh, high-quality inventory with minimal latency. Built on C# .NET and AWS, it supports a fast-moving, high-traffic environment.

We're looking for a Software Engineering Manager to be part of our Inventory Engineering Team, responsible for supplier integrations, inventory management, and booking reliability.

This high-impact role balances team leadership (75%) and hands-on contribution (25%), driving both technical execution and operational excellence while scaling a world-class engineering team.

  • Leading and growing a team of engineers, mentoring and guiding them to deliver high-

quality software.

  • Owning the technical strategy for inventory management, ensuring scalability, resilience, and performance.
  • Working closely with cross-functional teams to improve supplier integrations, enhance data freshness, and streamline booking processes.
  • Championing engineering best practices, from CI/CD to monitoring and incident response.
  • Making hands-on contributions when needed, reviewing code, guiding system design, and tackling complex technical challenges.

You'll be a great addition to our team if you have the following skills, knowledge and experience

Experience leading high-performing engineering teams, ideally in a high-scale, distributed environment.

  • Strong technical background in C# .NET with experience building cloud-native services (AWS).
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines for scalable and automated deployments.
  • Understanding of GraphQL and modern API-driven architectures.
  • Strong focus on observability and monitoring, ensuring system reliability and performance.
  • Knowledge of internet scale real-time data processing, supplier integrations, and transactional systems.
  • A pragmatic approach to balancing technical debt, product velocity, and operational reliability.
  • Passion for both people development and hands-on technical leadership.
  • Comfortable working in an environment where data-driven decision-making and experimentation drive improvements.

What to expect from our interview process

We will have a multi-stage interview process to ensure all important questions get answered, both for us and for you.

The starting point is a call with our People Team, followed by a take home Technical Assessment, (nothing to fear) it's a simple way for us to understand how you break apart problems and think about solutions. The same test is used for all role levels and is a rough way for us to gauge that you are working at the right level for the role you have applied for.

From here, we will start the Three-stage interview process: the first part is focussed on technology and the second on System design and finally Behavioural & Stakeholder. These sessions will either be on Teams, or at the office, and your preference will be considered.

We want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to perform at their best. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process please let the People team know and they will be happy to assist.

Ways of working

Our full time hours are 37.5 per week, but we don't have rigid working hours so you can find the working pattern that's right for you. We have core working hours between 10am - 4pm, so we can collaborate and enjoy the social side of work.

We also have hybrid working so we all work from home and from our Aeroworks office in Manchester City Centre. As a team we are in the office 2 days per week ( Usually Tuesday & Wednesday )

Our benefits

We might be biased but we think our colleagues are pretty great. They're the people that have made On the Beach what it is today and continue to make it vibrant and successful tomorrow. That's why we offer a competitive benefits package, known as our Beach Perks, to all On the Beach colleagues.

​

These include:

  • 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
  • Generous discount on holidays, plus you will receive 2 extra days annual leave on top of your holiday allowance to use whilst you're away on your On the Beach package holiday
  • Flexible working hours and hybrid working
  • Access to Learnerbly learning platform, plus workshops, courses and professional qualifications
  • Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental leave and adoption pay, plus other family friendly support
  • Employee Assistance Programme and free access to counselling
  • Simplyhealth Optimise Health Plan
  • Company Sick Pay scheme
  • Regular wellbeing events
  • Gym discount
  • Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
  • Death in Service cover
  • Onsite subsidised coffee shop
  • The Sandbox (our very own bar)
  • Food and drink discounts across a number of venues in Manchester City Centre
  • Regular social events
  • Cycle to Work scheme
