Role Description
As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the squad, you'll build and evolve the guest-facing booking experience in a modern React and TypeScript codebase, partnering with backend, product, and design to ship features that are fast, polished, and built to convert. You'll work across the full booking journey, from checkout to the customization tools properties use to make the experience their own, applying modern e-commerce best practices and leaning on analytics and experimentation to guide what we build. There's also plenty of room to shape an increasingly AI-ready experience and to help create entirely new offerings that properties can sell directly through the booking engine.
This role is part of the Booking Engine Squad, the team behind the guest-facing reservation experience that powers direct bookings for tens of thousands of Cloudbeds properties worldwide. Direct bookings are one of the most valuable channels we can win for a property, and we're constantly building new and innovative ways to help them capture that demand, from richer customization to entirely new booking experiences. It sits on the revenue-critical path, so speed, reliability, and getting the details right directly shape whether a guest completes a booking. It's one of our highest-leverage products, and if you want to own real software used around the world, this is a great team to build on.
