About the role

You will be diving deep into our foundational codebase, which glues together our entire product lines and partner connectivity, to develop new features, maintain existing features, and improve platform stability and partner connectivity. Your work will have a direct impact on thousands of customers’ short-term rental operations.
Know current OTA connections inside-out to get the maximum benefit out of partner APIs, improve downtime resilience, and increase edge-case coverage.
Implement and maintain integrations with future connectivity partners.
Add your voice to product shaping discussions, ship new core platform features 0→1, and iterate based on customer feedback.
Work with Devon whose favourite fruit is Raspberry.
Use your software engineering chops to build magical user experiences, which are both simple for customers to use and simple for other engineers to understand and maintain.
Partner with product, sales, customer success, and other engineers to develop and ship features that solve the right problems.
Work within our “majestic” monolithic codebase, sitting on a Kubernetes-powered infrastructure-as-code stack.
Implement and use observability tooling to track and debug post-deployment.
Seek out and remedy performance/resource issues and feature bugs that have the most impact on business operations and customer experience.
Refactor core platform and connectivity code to make it easier to understand, maintain, and test.

3+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on backend technologies.
Significant experience with Laravel, PHP 7+, MySQL, and testing pipelines in a deployed web application used by paying customers. We are all in on Laravel; this is non-negotiable.
An eye for testable, maintainable, and intuitive code, but also...
The mentality of “Code is a means, not an end,” avoids unnecessary abstraction. Your compass points toward customer and business value.
The ability to think through non-obvious usage scenarios and explore ripple effects within complex systems.
High degree of empathy both toward customers and teammates.
Exceptional communication skills - especially written. We are a remote-first, fully distributed company. Most communication happens on Slack and Notion.
Self-motivated and able to make decisions when surrounded by uncertainty. You don’t require a support system to maintain momentum.
Experience with queue/job-centric backends is a plus.
Experience with building production systems where data ingestion from third-party APIs is critical to the business is a big plus.
