Who we are
We’re the people behind global loyalty currency, Avios, and home to three ambitious, growing businesses; IAG Loyalty, BA Holidays and The Wine Flyer. Each business has its own goals and strategy, but collectively we create brilliant experiences for our global customers.
We’re on a truly exciting journey of growth and transformation – we’re going places! This is where you come in.
The opportunity
The GLP Programme Team is responsible for designing, building, releasing and maintaining a set of B2B microservice API products that allow partners to integrate with and use the capabilities of the IAGL frequent flyer programmes (BA Executive Club, Iberia Plus, AerLingus AerClub & Vueling Club).
The Loyalty Platform provides a range of partner facing, headless products presented through our APIs & data events, which have high demand, resilience and availability. In addition, our platform will create delightful, frictionless consumer facing experiences to enable members to enrol into the program in a seamless way, login, with identity verification and security features built in and be able to manage their Avios account and enjoy their rewarding benefits.
What you’ll get up to
As a Senior Back-End Engineer, you'll hold a pivotal position within the product team, contributing to the design and implementation of new features in the application's back-end. Leveraging your technical prowess and hands-on experience, you'll craft scalable, top-notch software solutions. Collaboration is key, as you'll effectively engage with product owners, architects, technical leads, and fellow developers to ensure alignment and deliver the best possible outcomes.
You will bring hands-on expertise in crafting solutions within your chosen tech stack (e.g., Node.js and Express, Java and Spring Boot, etc.), along with a deep understanding of APIs, system architecture, and industry protocols like OAuth 2.0. Your expertise lies in the Back-End applications, where you'll skilfully guide the user journey throughout the entire stack.
Ideally, you'll also bring familiarity with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) and thrive in a DevOps culture.
You have extensive experience working in agile teams and are driven by delivering customer value. Ideally, you would also have a proven track record of delivering innovation.
What we need from you
* Crafting software, writing tests, and debugging.
* Building and maintaining microservice-based applications (Java preferred).
* Familiarity with databases like PostgreSQL or Redis.
* Proficient in Linux for production environments.
* Experience with frameworks like Spring Boot and ORMs like Hibernate.
* Knowledgeable about cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud (AWS preferred).
* Understanding config management and infrastructure as code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation (Terraform preferred).
* Expertise in container technologies like Docker and ECS.
* Familiar with CI/CD and DevOps practices.
* Guide and mentor team members in modern data tooling, serving as a beacon of inspiration and support.
* Proficient in collaboration tools like JIRA, Confluence, Mural, and Slack.
The role has a blended base, between our Central London office and home. We trust you to make the right decision about the type of work that is best done in each location. We expect you’ll achieve a 50/50 split between the two and there may be times where you’ll want to visit our other locations to tell their stories, too (fully reimbursed).
We might not be right for you if:
* You only want to focus on your to-do list; we’re a small, high-performing team, we help each other to succeed.
* You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, we learn and iterate as we go; our environment isn’t right for everyone.
* You’re looking to create but not build; this is an end-to-end role, you need to be comfortable owning your space, from ideation through to delivery and review.
If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please do still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
In return you’ll get perks that take you places:
* Access to non-contractual Annual Bookable Travel Concessions for you and up to 3 nominees.
* Unlimited standby and premium standby fares for you and your nominees on the full British Airways network and numerous other partner airlines from day one.
* 20 days working from abroad in Europe per annum.
* Annual Bonus (dependant on company and individual performance).
* Company pension of 9% (6% contribution from IAGL, 3% employee contribution).
* 25 days annual leave, + 2 days charity leave and a day off on your birthday.
* New joiner, birthday and recognition Avios.
