We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Property Management System (PMS) team.

We’re building a next-generation PMS that goes far beyond traditional property management. It’s designed to support a wide range of business models—from short-term to long-term stays, from managing owned properties to operating a marketplace, and running a franchising model. Today, it powers over 40,000 properties worldwide—and we’re scaling fast: 100,000 by the end of 2025, and 1 million by the end of 2027.

On the tech side, we’re all-in on a modern, microservices-based architecture. You’ll work with a dynamic stack that includes Kotlin on Kubernetes, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, GraphQL, and REST, among others.

We’re shaping the future of living. If you're excited about scale, complexity, and building high-impact systems—we want you on this journey.

Our Stack:

Kotlin
Postgres | MongoDB | Redis
Apache Kafka | RabbitMQ
Rest | GraphQL
AWS | Kubernetes | Serverless | ArgoCD | Argo Workflows

On the web front, we use React and Tailwind on a micro-frontend architecture. Our code sits on Github, is built, tested, and packaged via Github Actions, and runs on Kubernetes. We do project management on JIRA, our prototypes, and mockups on Figma and monitor our systems and performance very diligently on Datadog.

_Note: While the PMS is on a Kotlin/React stack, as a company, we’re polyglot. So, we extensively use Typescript/Node.js and Python while the Platform team is heavy on Rust.

_What You'll Do

Architect, design, and build a PMS system
Focus on velocity and developer experience (DX)
Code services and APIs
Automate stuff. Like a lot.
Be religious with Git
Depend on a CI pipeline
Experiment, learn, and have fun

What To Expect

To work with agile, cross-functional, DevOps-enabled teams
To deep dive into other business functions
To get your head around a quite big problem domain
To enjoy some quality engineering on a multitude of technologies
A rapidly growing company
Cool and helpful colleagues :)
