Last week we said farewell to our latest group of Software Engineering Interns. These five magnificent minds spent three months working with different squads across Skyscanner, taking on real life challenges and getting hands-on experience in what it means to be a Software Engineer (as well as just generally being a joy to work with). Best of luck in your final years at university and whatever amazing work your futures hold - John Sykes, Lucy Robertson, Eilidh Macdonald, Keira Crafts 🤖 and Insiya Mullamitha

Their huge reach, customisable ads package and millions of engaged users helped us put Georgia on the map as a winter destination.” As a strategic partner of the Georgian National Tourism Administration, we helped position Georgia as the perfect winter destination, showcasing the country’s amazing experiences to millions of travellers across Skyscanner and social media.
