Senior Product Engineer (Laravel - Remote)

tldr; We build software for Airbnbs to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience.

We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it: <https://hsptb.com/hndbk>

We are bold, like risks, and take on big challenges together. Our customers love the product, provide valuable feedback, and trust us to rapidly help them with more of their problems.

Feel free to join in one of our upcoming Townhalls on YouTube to experience it for yourself: <https://hsptb.com/twnhll>

Hospitable.com is a remote-only and fully distributed company. We hire based on timezones, not countries.

The Product: Core & Growth

Our Core platform is comprised of properties, calendar, messaging, metrics, operations, and guest experience. The Growth component is about guiding our customers through sign-up, their first experiences with our platform, setting them up for success, helping them adopt our features and ultimately growing their own businesses with Hospitable. Our more than 22,000 customers rely on our core and connectivity product to manage $500M+ in monthly reservations.

To help with maintaining and improving Hospitable’s core platform and growth strategies, our remote-first, fully-distributed team is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to maintain momentum and stability.

"Working at Hospitable is both the most intense and the most rewarding professional experiences of my life. The momentum isn't for everyone, neither is the laser focus on shipping value, but the right person will flourish and grow here more so than just about anywhere else." - Nik, Principal Product Engineer.

What you will be working on

You will be diving deep into our foundational codebase, which glues together our entire product lines, to develop new features, maintain existing features, and build product workflows that help our customers grow.

• Add your voice to product shaping discussions, ship new core platform features 0→1, and iterate based on customer feedback.
• Work with Ben whose favourite fruit is Strawberry.
• 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 code to make it easier to understand, maintain, and test.

As an engineering team we are all in on Laravel and Angular. Our self-defined tech stack acronym is 🌴 PALM-B ; PHP, Angular, Laravel, MySQL and Beanstalk.

We consider ourselves AI forward, all in on Cursor 🤖 . 90-95% of the code we ship to production is AI generated. It's made us a lot faster. It makes the reviewing part even more important, so you'll need to actually understand what's being written on your behalf before it gets shipped to our customers.
