Careers
Hello!
We're looking for great people, you're looking for a great place to work.
Come help us redefine travel and build a fantastic community whilst we're at it.
At Impala we’re solving an exciting, complex problem that has held back the hotel industry, if not the entire travel industry, for 20 years.
We're a distributed but close community of incredibly dedicated people, focused on 3 things:
Solving
Solving an interesting & complex problem, holding back an entire industry
Enjoying
Fostering a fantastic work-life balance and a happy place to work.
Supporting
Enabling and supporting each other to reach our best potential.
Growing Sustainably
We launched our product in January 2019 and since then we’ve tripled in size - and we’re not slowing down!
We’re not just growing the team incredibly fast; we’re laser-focused on growing sustainably.
We share investors with some pretty great companies
We’re supported by some of the best investors in the business, the early-stage backers behind Deliveroo, PillPack, SecretEscapes, Zoopla, Trivago, Monzo, Travelperk, Transferwise, Airbnb, GetYourGuide, Omio, Spotify and more!
We’re redefining a $1.6 Trillion dollar industry
Our investors are on board because of the opportunity that lies before us: revolutionizing a 1.6 trillion dollar market that’s been out-of-date for 20 years.
They also share our vision of democratising travel and enabling innovation across the industry.

Our Values
Speak Up and Step Up
As Impalans, we take responsibility for challenging ourselves, the people around us and the status quo so we can make the right calls, improve our product and level up our game. We have the curiosity and confidence to listen and learn from diverse opinions, expertise, voices and perspectives so when we act, we do it with conviction.
Be Reliably Rebellious
At Impala, we believe there are two ways to solve a problem, the way everyone else does and the way no-one else does. So Impalans often look at problem-solving from an unusual, inventive and sometimes obscure angle. We take security and trust more seriously than anything, but we never take ourselves too seriously. Because many lols make light work.
Think Epic, Do Effective
Impalans do industry-defining, or nothing at all. Whether something is complex or simple, what matters is the outcome. We look for big wins that will change the game in the most impactful way.
Team Up to Take Off
At Impala, we know that the biggest, toughest problems are best faced as a team. You can’t reshape an industry with a bunker mentality. No department is a silo, no individual is an island, each has a wealth of specialist knowledge. So we harness our collective energy, experience and smarts to solve things together. Office politics are dumb.
Remote Does Not Mean Distant
We started as a remote company and although some of the team are now co-located for a few days a week, being remote-first is who we are, and we want to keep it that way.
Our engineering team is entirely remote, distributed across Europe, with our HQ in London. But even our London HQ based Impalans have the option to work remotely outside of our 2 ‘Collaboration Days’ each week!
Check out our Medium page which includes more information about who we are, what we do, what matters to us, and our culture.
