Senior Software Developer

Senior Software Developer | Hospitality Tech Startup

Help shape the future of hospitality software

I'm partnering with an ambitious hospitality-tech startup that's rethinking how hotels and venues operate.

The hospitality industry still relies on fragmented systems that weren't built to work together. Teams spend too much time navigating software, handling manual processes, and managing operational complexity instead of focusing on creating memorable guest experiences.

My client is changing that.

They're building an AI-powered platform that brings bookings, operations, communication, housekeeping, invoicing, and automation into one seamless experience.

As part of their product team, you'll help design software that thousands of hospitality professionals rely on every day.

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing company where design is viewed as a strategic advantage and where your ideas can influence both product direction and customer outcomes.

You'll work closely with founders, engineers, commercial teams, and customers to create experiences that solve real-world problems and deliver measurable value.

The Product

The platform acts as an operating system for hotels and venues.

From reservations and guest management to housekeeping, invoicing, tasks, reporting, and AI-powered workflows, everything lives in one connected system.

The goal isn't simply to improve existing tools.

It's to redefine how hospitality businesses operate.

Culture & Team

This is a team that values ownership, speed, and continuous improvement.

They move quickly, challenge assumptions, and believe the best products are built by people who care deeply about both the problem and the user experience.

You'll join a highly collaborative environment where design, product, and engineering work closely together to deliver value fast.

The company works primarily from the office because they believe the strongest collaboration, fastest learning, and best product decisions happen when talented people solve problems side by side.

Backed by experienced SaaS founders and operators, you'll have the opportunity to learn from people who have built and scaled successful technology companies before.

What You'll Get

✅ High ownership and influence from day one

✅ Close collaboration with founders and key decision-makers

✅ Direct access to customers and user feedback

✅ Fast development cycles with weekly releases

✅ The opportunity to solve meaningful, real-world challenges

✅ An attractive warrant package

✅ A culture built around learning, experimentation, and growth

✅ Regular social events, Friday bars, and hackathons

✅ A team of ambitious people who genuinely enjoy building great products
