Job Description

Senior Backend Engineer, Booking Platform

Hostaway

• Design, build, and operate backend services in PHP and Go that power the guest portal and direct sales site builder. • Drive the extraction of services out of our monolith, defining clean boundaries, ownership, and migration paths. • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to shape and ship features that move the needle for direct bookings. • Design and ship APIs built for agentic interfaces — making our guest-facing domain consumable by AI agents and automated workflows. • Improve page speed and end-to-end performance, working closely with frontend peers since conversion depends on it. • Contribute to high-level architectural decisions and help us move quickly without accumulating regret. • Leverage AI to accelerate code delivery — we provide a Claude Team Premium subscription and expect engineers to use it well.

Job Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer, with a strong foundation in software engineering
  • Strong experience with PHP in production, and experience with Go (or strong interest and ability to ramp up quickly)
  • Proven experience designing and operating high-traffic, customer-facing systems
  • Experience decomposing monoliths or extracting services, with a pragmatic view on when to do it (and when not to)
  • Solid experience designing APIs — REST, GraphQL, or similar — with an eye on clarity, versioning, and consumability (bonus if you've built APIs for AI agents or LLM-driven clients)
  • Comfortable using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your daily workflow, and able to get real leverage out of them
  • Proven experience in product-oriented engineering teams, ideally within SaaS
  • Familiarity with Node.js and React is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive pay based on market rates in the country of the applicant.
  • 100% Remote: Enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere within your country of residence—be it a co-working space, your home office, or even your dining room table. The choice is yours. Just don’t ask to work in our office (we don’t have one).
  • Equity: Every role in our company comes with valuable stock options in a fast-growing and profitable company. This ensures we all share in the company’s success.
  • Values-Driven Leadership: Our Core Values are not just words we’ve written to make us feel good. We leverage them daily when making strategic and tactical decisions.
  • Professional Growth: Our rapid growth offers unparalleled learning and development opportunities, along with a multitude of career advancement opportunities.
  • Annual Paid Leave: The specific amounts vary by country and are aligned with country and/or contract-specific norms.
  • Geographic Specific Benefits: As an international employer, we offer different country-specific benefits such as Health Insurance and Pensions in countries where these perks are customary. The specifics depend on the country of the applicant.
  • Dynamic Team Culture: As a global company with team members in over 40 countries, our diverse and international culture fuels our innovation and creativity, providing a key pillar to our success (and making it a lot of fun to work here).
