Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Join our Host Experience department as a Backend Developer and become part of the team that brings new vacation rental properties to life on Holidu.
- You'll be working at the heart of our property acquisition engine - where we take hosts from their very first sign-up all the way to their first booking, making that journey as fast and seamless as possible.
- This team sits at a uniquely strategic intersection of product and growth.
- You will build and optimize the systems that every new host flows through: from onboarding and listing creation, to property configuration, content quality, and referral programs.
- The work demands reliability and attention to detail - because the time between a host signing up and welcoming their first guest, and how well their property performs from day one, is directly shaped by the quality of what you build.
- Design, build, evolve, and maintain our services, creating a great user experience for our hosts.
- Build a strong understanding of the product, use it to drive initiatives end-to-end, and contribute to shaping the team's direction as you grow.
- Work AI-first: use AI to accelerate not just coding, but data exploration, codebase understanding, technical design, and decision-making - and continuously sharpen how you use these tools.
- Ensure our applications are highly scalable, capable of handling tens of thousands of properties and millions of bookings.
- Work with data persistence - whether in PostgreSQL, Redis, S3, or new state-of-the-art technologies you help us evaluate.
- Ship to production daily - deploying to our AWS Kubernetes cluster is part of the routine, not a special occasion.
- Contribute to the reliability of your services - learn to set up monitoring and participate in incident resolution so your team can move fast with confidence.
- Collaborate in a supportive, cross-functional team that values knowledge sharing and improving together.
- Apply engineering best practices, and stay curious by experimenting with new technologies.
