Together, as the new Eurostar Group, we are united by a singular purpose: to spark new opportunities by creating consistently exceptional experiences for our passengers. Are you ready to be part of this remarkable journey?

In the Digital Sales Systems department, we’ve made it easy and enjoyable for our customers to book our trains and hotels by delivering rich, responsive, and engaging applications across multiple devices and building highly transactional micro-services to support our architecture. Building a beautiful and effective UX supported by performant APIs is key to the success of the company’s service and our team plays a pivotal role in making this a reality.

As a Developer in our Digital Sales Systems team, part of our engineering teams, you’ll be working with product owners, business analysts, scrum masters, and engineers to implement features across our estate of cloud native software products and services. We’re working in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, hosted on AWS with Kubernetes, with a fully automated continuous integration pipeline.

We believe in continuous delivery, testing our own software, and operating it in production, and would like to find people who are equally excited by these approaches. We actively encourage and facilitate personal development and learning, and together we have the opportunity to revolutionise Eurostar’s Digital distribution and customer experience platform, and set the technical tone for the organisation going forward.
