Opportunities for innovation and value have already been identified across End-to-End Crew Planning, Operational Planning, Disruption Recovery, Optimisation and Automation & Efficiency — all of which are critical to improving operational resilience and crew experience. Product-led delivery is still relatively new to easyJet, and we’re seeking talented engineers who will help us build and mature our in-house software-engineering capability as we continue this journey together.

JOB PURPOSE

This role combines deep technical expertise with practical leadership, ensuring that modern engineering practices, cloud-native technologies and automation are consistently applied to deliver real value for customers and the business.

As the lead technical person within the product team, you will shape the technical direction, provide architectural guidance and remain actively involved in coding key components.

You will also mentor other engineers, drive continuous improvement and foster close collaboration across Product, Data, UX and Quality-Engineering colleagues. By focusing on in-house software-engineering excellence this role helps easyJet build the technical capabilities needed to deliver critical operational solutions faster, more securely and at lower cost
