At Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) our purpose is to 'open up the world for those who want to see'. Every day, we give people all around the world the opportunity to experience something amazing – travel!

As a Senior Software Engineer you will design, build, test, and deploy scalable digital solutions that deliver real value to customers. You’ll work across both front-end and back-end technologies, partnering with Product and Engineering teams to create high-quality web applications, APIs, and microservices.

You'll be joining the MyAccount team, responsible for customer account and profile management across 4 FCTG brands — covering login, account details, and preferences for around 700,000 members globally. The stack is TypeScript, React, and Next.js on the frontend, a Fastify API backend, and Auth0 for authentication.

• Design, develop, and deploy web applications, microservices, and APIs using React, Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• Build secure, scalable, and maintainable software solutions that deliver value to customers and support business objectives
• Own software quality through testing, automation, observability, and performance monitoring to ensure reliable customer experiences
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Designers, and Engineers to design and deliver high-quality solutions in an agile environment
• Participate in code reviews, contribute to engineering standards, and support best practices across architecture, coding, and software design
• Drive continuous improvement by reducing technical debt, enhancing documentation, and identifying opportunities to improve processes, quality, and team effectiveness

You'll be perfect for the role if you have:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, including proven experience as a Senior Full Stack Engineer delivering end-to-end solutions across front-end and back-end technologies
• Hands-on experience with Auth0, including passwordless authentication flows (e.g. Universal Login email-code/magic-link passwordless, SMS-based MFA/OTP)
• Demonstrated understanding of Agile principles, practices, and software delivery methodologies
• Strong knowledge of modern software engineering principles, secure coding practices, and solution design
• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing engineering teams while building strong stakeholder relationships
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to manage competing priorities, identify risks and opportunities, and deliver business outcomes
• Experience with modern architectural patterns such as microservices, event-driven architecture, and serverless solutions; experience within travel, retail, or internet-scale environments is highly regarded
