Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Staff Software Engineer (Web & Mobile) - **Company:** Tripadvisor - **Location:** London, UK (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Apple IOS, Code Review, Software Debugging, Web Development, Mobile Application Software, Release Management, Backend, Data Layers, Kotlin, Data Analytics, Performance Monitor, Graphql - **Published:** July 19, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=dedc22e515c106cc ## About the Role * 10+ years of software experience, with significant time still spent hands-on in code - track record of shipping product-impacting work end-to-end, not just owning a layer * Real depth in the mobile app ecosystem (iOS and/or Android, with strong fluency in Swift and/or Kotlin and the surrounding ecosystem - offline sync, push, auth, persistence, networking, REST/GraphQL) - and credible breadth beyond it * Demonstrated breadth: you've worked seriously in at least one of {web frontend, backend services, data/infra, platform tooling} alongside mobile, and can hold your own in code review there * Strong product judgment: you've made calls about what not to build, and can defend them with evidence * Comfort troubleshooting in production across stacks - crash analysis, latency tracing, release-health debugging * Excellent cross-functional collaboration; you make the people around you better Nice to have * Background in marketplaces, bookings, or other transactional consumer products * Time spent close to data - experimentation, analytics instrumentation, or ML-adjacent work ## Description We're looking for a Staff/Principal Product Engineer who pairs deep engineering craft with strong product instincts. You'll work across the stack - mobile, web, backend - wherever the highest-leverage problem happens to live that quarter. You don't wait for a perfectly scoped ticket; you partner with product, design, and data to figure out what's worth building, then ship it end-to-end. We expect breadth. We also expect real depth in the mobile app ecosystem - our customer-facing experiences live there. But we're not hiring a mobile only specialist. We're hiring a generalist with mobile chops who can lead an iOS architecture review on Tuesday and untangle a backend latency regression on Wednesday. What you'll do * Identify, scope, and ship the changes that move business metrics - across mobile, web, services, and data layers * Architect long-lasting systems that hold up under real production conditions: performance, reliability, scalability, offline behavior, consistency * Lead technical design reviews across teams, weighing trade-offs not just in code but in product impact, time-to-ship, and operational cost * Drive operational maturity wherever it's weakest - release management, observability, incident response, performance monitoring - including in the mobile apps * Partner with PMs, designers, and engineering leaders to shape what we build, why, and in what order; you're a peer in those conversations, not a downstream implementer * Set the technical bar for the org by example: write the prototype, prove the pattern, then teach it * Communicate trade-offs clearly to engineers, product partners, and senior stakeholders, We exist to create value for our customer, the traveler. We enable our suppliers and partners to unlock this value. Their collective behaviors and insights are what drives us. Execution is our edge We act fast, experiment, learn from failure, iterate, and improve the solutions of tomorrow across every aspect of our business. Our execution is agile, data-driven, prioritised, and built to scale. We assume no problem is someone else's problem and finish what can be done today, knowing tomorrow will bring fresh challenges. We succeed together The best outcomes are driven by empathic, humble, and diverse subject matter experts working toward shared goals. We collaborate relentlessly, challenge assumptions, give actionable feedback, and set each other up for success through empowered teams with a clear charter. We transparently take ownership of our growth, individually and as a team. We celebrate the quality of our effort, our learnings, and our collective achievements. We strive to create an accessible and inclusive experience for all candidates.
