Your next chapter
At Travel Chapter, we're proud to be the holiday home people. From our beginnings in North Devon to supporting thousands of holiday homes across the UK, our people, owners and guests are at the heart of everything we do. As a certified B Corp, we're committed to balancing purpose and profit, creating meaningful experiences while continuously looking for smarter ways to work and innovate.
We're now looking for a Senior AI Developer to help shape the future of software delivery across Travel Chapter.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced software engineer who is excited by the potential of AI and agentic development. Rather than focusing solely on traditional coding, you'll work at the intersection of technology, product and business change, using AI coding agents and emerging development tools to rapidly build solutions that solve real-world challenges.
Working closely with Product Managers and stakeholders across the business, you'll identify opportunities to automate manual processes, improve efficiency and create bespoke internal applications that deliver tangible value. You'll be helping us unlock opportunities that simply haven't been possible before, enabling teams to work smarter and focus their time where it matters most.
As one of the early specialists in this space, you'll play a key role in defining how agentic software development is adopted across Travel Chapter, helping to shape our tools, practices and future direction.
What you'll be doing
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Building and delivering software primarily through AI coding agents, using tools such as Claude Code, Codex and other emerging technologies
- Working closely with Product Managers to understand business problems, explore opportunities and prioritise high-value initiatives
- Designing and developing bespoke internal applications, automations and tools that improve efficiency and create meaningful business impact
- Turning business requirements and ideas into clear delivery plans, user stories and technical solutions
- Managing multiple projects simultaneously, driving progress independently and adapting priorities as new opportunities arise
- Reviewing, validating and refining AI-generated outputs to ensure solutions are secure, scalable and production-ready
- Owning the full delivery lifecycle, from discovery and design through to deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement
- Investigating complex business and technical challenges, identifying root causes and developing practical solutions
- Creating reusable prompts, workflows and development practices that improve the effectiveness of AI-assisted engineering
- Supporting the wider engineering function in adopting new agentic ways of working
What we're looking for
We're less interested in a specific technology stack and more interested in finding someone who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with a genuine passion for AI-driven development.
You'll likely bring:
- Significant software development experience across web applications, APIs, backend services or enterprise systems
- Experience using AI coding agents as a core part of your development approach, rather than simply as an occasional productivity tool
- A strong understanding of software engineering principles, architecture and development best practice
- Experience deploying and supporting applications in production environments
- The ability to take an ambiguous challenge and turn it into a structured, deliverable solution
- Confidence reviewing, debugging and validating code generated by AI tools
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives at the same time
- A naturally curious, investigative and creative mindset
- A passion for exploring new technology and challenging traditional ways of working

Why join Travel Chapter?
This is an opportunity to join us at a pivotal point in our AI journey.
Rather than stepping into a well-established function, you'll help define it. You'll work on high-impact projects, influence how technology is delivered across the business and play a key role in shaping how AI can create value for our people and customers.
Most importantly, you'll be part of a business that believes in doing things differently. As a certified B Corp, we're committed to creating positive impact alongside commercial success, and we're looking for people who want to help build the future with us.
