At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership.
We're looking for a motivated and driven Senior Java Engineer to join our customer-facing Search team in our Demand Division. This team owns the first crucial step in the booking funnel and focuses on providing a fast and intuitive user experience to our customers in 40+ countries worldwide.
As a Search team, our goal is to simplify the user experience and provide enough information — without overwhelming the user — to help customers find their perfect trip easily. We achieve this by analyzing anonymous behavior data and conducting regular user research, ensuring we focus on good solutions for real user issues. Looking ahead, we aim to make even greater use of our big data to enhance the user experience with relevant statistics and insights at the right moment in the journey.
You'd join an autonomous, cross-functional squad — a Product Owner, backend and frontend engineers, plus data & UX partners and principal engineers who've built this engine at scale. Honest retros, short standups, real ownership from concept to production. We also invite you to be an active contributor to the Engineering Community and challenge the status quo at FlixTech!
About the Role
• Be at the forefront of Flix's booking funnel, handling millions of search requests per day from Web, App, and external partners
• Generate the inventory to allow customers to reach any place on our network (3,000+ destinations in 40+ countries!)
• Apply your geekiness: have you ever wondered what to do with graph theory? This is the team for you!
• Write SOLID, maintainable, flexible, testable, and scalable code
• Design components and integrations within team scope, considering scalability, maintainability, and reliability
• Lead adoption of better engineering practices and adapt workflows for team efficiency
• Prioritise and plan tech debt pay-down with the team; drive strategies to reduce recurring debt
• Ensure team code is observable and design monitoring strategies for new components
• Support our CI/CD environment and produce a positive impact with each release
• Support our agile, flexible, team-oriented development to bring the search product to the next level
About You
• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Information Systems, or relevant industry experience
• 7+ years of commercial experience as a Java Engineer
• Strong experience with Java/JVM-based frameworks such as Micronaut or Spring Boot
• Solution-oriented attitude with a focus on materializing the business vision through technical means
• Experience with k8s and AWS
• Experience with database management systems such as MySQL or similar relational databases
• Solid experience with distributed messaging systems (Kafka or others)
Nice to Have:
• Experience with OpenSearch / Elasticsearch
• Experience with Redis and Terraform
• Familiarity with CI/CD best practices (unit and integration testing, GitLab CI)
• Experience working with scalable systems handling large volumes of requests/data
We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
What We Offer
• Travel perks: 12 free Flix vouchers + 12 discount vouchers for friends & family.
• Work from (M)Anywhere: Depending on your role, work from another location for up to 60 days per year.
• Hybrid work model: We are an office-first company, but we offer flexibility to balance work and life.
• Wellbeing support: Access confidential 1:1 counselling, courses, and stress management for yourself and up to four family members.
• Learning & Development: Take advantage of language classes, training courses, and expert-led sessions to grow your skills.
