Developer Short-Term Rental PMS (property management system)

We're building a new operating system for short-term rentals — the kind of platform that replaces the tab-switching, spreadsheet-juggling, five-tools-duct-taped-together reality of running an STR portfolio today. We're early, we're moving fast, and we're hiring the people who'll build it with us.
We're looking for a Full-Stack Developer with deep short-term rental domain knowledge to help build the core platform. This is not a role where you learn the industry on the job. We want someone who already understands how STR actually works — the operators, the channels, the edge cases — because that knowledge will shape what we build as much as the code will.
What you'll own
You'll work across the stack on the features that matter most to operators: bookings, calendars, pricing, messaging, cleaning, reporting, owner statements. You'll build integrations with the platforms and tools the industry already runs on — and the workflows that sit on top of them.
Specifically:
– Integrations with Airbnb, ---------- , Vrbo, and the wider STR ecosystem — channel managers, pricing tools, payment providers, smart locks, cleaning platforms
– Core product features: multi-calendar logic, rate and availability sync, guest messaging flows, automated workflows, reporting dashboards
– Backend architecture: APIs, webhooks, queues, database design for booking and property data at scale
– Frontend work where needed — dashboards and operator-facing tools that feel fast and actually get used
– The unglamorous but critical layer: handling sync failures, reconciling conflicting data across channels, building systems that don't break at 2am
– Working directly with the founder and early team to turn product direction into shipped features
What we're looking for
– 2–4 years building production web applications, full-stack or strong backend with frontend competence
– Real short-term rental domain knowledge — you've worked on PMS, channel manager, pricing, or STR ops software before, or you've run and operated STR properties yourself at a meaningful scale
– You understand the operator's world: why calendar sync is harder than it looks, what makes a messaging automation actually useful, why pricing tools integrate the way they do
– Fluent with REST APIs, webhooks, and the real-world mess of third-party integrations — rate limits, auth quirks, silent failures, stale data
– Comfortable with a modern stack: TypeScript/Node, Python, Postgres, React. Pragmatic about tools, opinionated about quality
– You ship. Mid-level here means you take a loose spec and come back with working software, not a list of questions
– Strong written English, comfortable working async with a small distributed team
Bonus points
– Have worked at or built on top of Hostaway, Guesty, Hospitable, Lodgify, Uplisted, OwnerRez, or similar
– Familiar with PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, or Beyond Pricing integrations
– Direct experience with Airbnb's API (it's its own beast)
– Have built messaging automations, dynamic pricing logic, or revenue management tooling
– Early-stage experience — comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and changing direction when the product demands it
The setup
Remote, global. Full-time preferred. You'll work directly with the founder and a small early team, with a tight feedback loop and meaningful ownership — what you build ships to real operators, not a staging environment.
How to apply
Send us something you've actually shipped in the STR space — a GitHub repo, an integration you wrestled with, a tool you built, a case study. CV welcome. The work matters more than the credentials.
