Senior Backend Engineer

Who we are:



WeSki’s vision is to make it easy for skiers across the globe to book and enjoy their ideal ski trip at the best possible price. As the ultimate ski trip booking platform, WeSki enables everyone to design and book their ideal adventure in just a few clicks - quickly, seamlessly, and affordably. In an $80 billion industry that has remained largely traditional, this opens up a massive opportunity to redefine ski trips for modern consumers.

WeSki’s technology compares millions of combinations of flights, accommodation, transfers, passes, gear, and lessons instantly, saving hours of planning. Each trip is fully customisable, giving customers the flexibility of building it themselves, but with the expert protection and support of a holiday provider.

With all trip components automatically linked, customers can relax and enjoy their holiday knowing that all the logistics are taken care of - alongside 24/7 customer service whilst they’re away.

WeSki is an innovative, passionate and fast moving company - we partner with over 150 ski resorts (and counting) across 10 countries and have already sold over 100,000 ski holiday packages to skiers worldwide. We are in a rapid growth mode whilst maintaining profitability, making our business and product opportunities (and challenges) all the more exciting.
