Skyscanner is one of the fastest-growing travel technology companies in the world. It’s been named the sixth best place to work in the UK – and it’s the highest placed company in Scotland.
It employs an army of talented developers to work on its global travel search site. Skyscanner puts a lot of time and energy into recruiting really good developers – the specific coding languages aren’t as important as the quality of the code.
It has people from over 40 different nationalities in its Edinburgh office, which has helped create a really dynamic environment to work in. In addition to encouraging a culture of constant learning, Skyscanner also has lots of social events like barbecues, parties, sailing days and white water rafting.
The ID Co’s mission is simple: to use data that we already have with our banks to provide the convenience that we all want – to sign up to new products and services in seconds.
This fintech company is always on the lookout for the right people to join its international team based in Edinburgh. It offers a fast-paced, open, agile working environment, where people work together to solve software development problems quickly and effectively.
Not only is the work culture inspirational, but the office setting is too. Look out in one direction and you see Edinburgh Castle – look the other way and you see Princes Street Gardens. Oh, and there’s a bar in the basement. The ID Co really does have ‘beer o'clock’ on a Friday.
