Software Engineer | Parkdean Resorts | Remote (UK)
We're building something that matters. People trust Parkdean Resorts with their holidays, and the websites, booking journeys, and applications that make those holidays happen need to be the best they can be. That's where you come in.
Who we are
Parkdean Resorts is the UK's largest holiday park operator. Every year, families across the UK choose Parkdean for their holidays, and every one of those experiences depends, somewhere down the line, on our technology working properly. We're investing in the engineering function that supports it: in standards, in tooling, and in the people who care about how software is built.
The role
The code you write here will be used by millions of customers. Every booking, every search, every confirmation email. That's the product.
You'll sit inside a squad alongside Test Engineers, Product, and Delivery, reporting to a Lead Software Engineer who sets the technical bar and works hands-on alongside you. You'll take features from refinement through to production: designing the change, writing the code, testing it, getting it reviewed, and seeing it released.
This is product engineering, not corporate IT. You'll be working on the customer-facing websites, the booking platform, integrations with Salesforce, and the systems that hold it all together. Platform, infrastructure, and CI/CD tooling are owned by our Cloud & Platform function, so your focus stays where it should: on the application code, the tests around it, and the squad you work with daily.
What you'll do
Build features that customers actually use
Production code as the core of the role: features, fixes, integrations, and improvements across our web estate.
Stories taken from refinement through to production.
Work primarily in C# / .NET, Vue.js, React, Next.js, SQL Server, and Azure application services.
Take responsibility for quality
Code that's readable, tested, secure, and easy to support in production.
Automated tests appropriate to the risk and complexity of the change. The goal is protection against regression and confidence to deploy.
Shape how the squad works
Technical design conversations for the stories you own, with the Lead Software Engineer.
Surface implications of requirements early, in refinement, before a sprint of building the wrong thing.
Raise technical debt, fragility, and risk where you see it.
Stand behind what you've built
Participate in the out-of-hours rota for critical incident response.
Diagnose and remediate application-level incidents in your squad's domain.
Contribute to post-incident reviews focused on what the system allowed to happen, rather than who to blame.
The Stack
Essential:
C# / .NET, with production experience.
Strong production experience in a component-based JavaScript framework (most likely Vue.js, sometimes React or Next.js).
SQL Server, including writing queries, understanding indexes, and diagnosing slow queries.
Git / Azure Repos and code review as part of daily work.
Automated testing, with judgement about when integration and end-to-end tests belong alongside unit tests.
Desirable:
Sitecore CMS or equivalent e-commerce platforms.
Salesforce as an integration target.
Test automation frameworks such as Cypress, Selenium, or Playwright.
Azure application services (App Services, Functions, App Insights, Key Vault).
Regulated or compliance-aware environments (PCI, GDPR).
Legacy stacks such as Classic ASP, and the patience to work with them constructively when needed.
What we need from you
At least three years of commercial experience writing production code in a modern web stack. Comfortable owning a story from refinement through to production with minimal handholding. Someone who reviews code seriously, writes tests that protect against regression, and raises problems rather than working around them.
This role is best suited to engineers who care about how software is built. You'll find people here who share that view.
If that sounds like the kind of team you want to be part of, we'd like to hear from you.
