Welcome to Skyscanner’s Front-End Software Engineering Job Simulation. We’re thrilled to have you here with us!

So what is a job simulation? It is a unique opportunity for you to take on practical tasks similar to what our own Skyscanner engineers would work on and get a true feel of what it’s like to work here as a front-end engineer.

We’re a group of talented, passionate individuals located across eight worldwide offices. Unafraid of innovation, we’re committed to making things better for everyone by leading the global transformation to modern and sustainable travel.
