  • Houst is the world’s largest short-let property management service. Founded in London in 2015, we now manage over 2,000 properties across 19 cities worldwide, from Dubai to Sydney, and Edinburgh to Cape Town. We handle every step of the hosting process, from creating listings on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, to guest support, smart pricing, and property maintenance.
  • Behind the scenes, our tech team builds the tools that keep this all running smoothly: from listing automation and 24/7 guest comms to pricing engines and integrations with third-party platforms. We’re scaling fast and need strong technical leadership to push our platform to the next level.

  • Design, implement, and optimise RESTful APIs to power platform functionality
  • Set coding standards through CI, peer reviews, and automated testing

  • Optimise and maintain databases (PostgreSQL, Redis)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Ops, Growth, CS) to shape new features
  • Champion automation to improve scalability and efficiency
  • Refine deployment pipelines to ensure smooth, stable releases
  • Stay ahead of tech trends and apply them to improve Houst’s platform

Requirements

  • 6+ years of software development experience
  • Strong background in RESTful API design and implementation
