Full-Stack Developer

Type - Full-Time, Manchester, UK.

Who are we? ✈️

Arcube is a Manchester-based travel-tech startup and we built one of the industry’s first ‘Post-Flight Technologies’. Our AI-powered software analyses passenger data after they disembark from a flight, enabling them to convert otherwise idle points into personalized ancillaries for future bookings. By leveraging a suite of ancillaries, we drive repeat bookings, create millions in new revenue, and build customer loyalty for airlines like Etihad.

We are a small but highly capable team that values speed in building technology and execution.

Backed by Oxford Capital, Fuel Ventures and various travel-technology specific investors, we have managed to build a strong pipeline of airlines. Our goal is to grow rapidly and establish ourselves as market leaders in this new and emerging category of ancillary technology.
