As a Senior Backend Engineer(m/w/d) in our Customer Journey team, you’ll shape the systems that activate, engage and delight thousands of independent hoteliers worldwide. You’ll own meaningful features end-to-end—designing, building, testing, deploying and observing the services that make pricing automation simple and magical. This is a role for engineers who love product impact and solving real problems for real people at a fast-growing, mission-driven startup.

Activities

• Take a key role in building systems that turn first-time users into long-term RoomPriceGenie champions.
• Focus on backend development in Python/Django, designing resilient services and APIs that strengthen the activation and growth engine.
• Own projects end-to-end: problem exploration, technical solution design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration based on real user outcomes.
• Write clean, maintainable, well‑tested code using modern testing practices across unit, integration, and functional layers.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Data, Design, and cross‑domain engineers to ship features that improve onboarding, engagement, and long-term customer success.
• Occasionally contribute to the React frontend and data workflows (Snowflake, Airflow, dbt) to keep momentum high.
• Contribute to system health by joining architecture reviews, engaging in technical discussions, and mentoring fellow engineers.
• Improve engineering processes, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, monitoring, alerting, and overall developer experience.
• Make thoughtful, product‑minded trade-offs with a strong focus on user value and measurable impact.
• Work autonomously, collaborate with a diverse team, and directly impact thousands of users and small hotels worldwide.

Requirements

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who combines strong technical expertise with a product-minded, ownership-driven approach. You should have deep experience building backend applications at scale, ideally in fast-moving or high-growth environments where ambiguity is normal and collaboration is essential.

What we’re looking for:

• Solid professional experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on backend development.
• Advanced proficiency in Python / Django, and a track record of designing and maintaining robust backend services and APIs.
• Strong understanding of software design principles, testing strategies, and scalable architecture.
• Experience working in environments that use CI/CD, AWS, modern monitoring and observability tools, and automated testing.
• A product-minded mindset—you think in terms of user value, understand trade-offs, and care about measurable impact.
• High ownership mentality: you’re comfortable driving a project from discovery to deployment and iteration.
• Collaborative and communicative: you work well across functions—Product, Data, Design, and Frontend—helping teams move quickly and effectively.
• Willingness to occasionally contribute to frontend (React) or data workflows (Snowflake, Airflow, dbt) when needed to unblock progress.
• Fluency in English and excellent communication skills.
• Based in a European time zone (UTC+0 to UTC+2).

Nice to have:

• Experience with Snowflake, Airflow, dbt, dragster, cube, or similar data tools.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Celery).
• Background in a scaling startup or fast-growth product environment.

We’re looking for people who care deeply about building great products, value autonomy, and want to make a meaningful impact on thousands of independent hoteliers around the world.
