We are looking for a Junior Engineer to join our team in Reykjavík, Iceland. This role is open to engineers with up to 3 to 4 years of experience, including recent graduates with strong projects to show. You'll work across our full stack alongside experienced colleagues, building features that ship to real users.

This role is an on-site position in our Reykjavik, Iceland office.

Build for real operators. Work on features used by thousands of tour and activity businesses around the world — what you ship gets used, fast.
Work across the stack. You'll touch both frontend (React, TypeScript) and backend (Java), and figure out which side you want to grow into.
Write code, daily. This is a hands-on role. You'll spend most of your time building, not in meetings.
Work end-to-end. Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to take features from idea to production.
Grow your craft. We invest in your development — through code review, pairing, and time to learn new things.
Collaborate with the best. Join a team of experienced engineers who'll brainstorm ideas with you, give thoughtful feedback, and help you level up.
