Your future team

Welcome To AGE - Our Agentic Experience Department.
We're building something that doesn't exist yet at Holidu: a small squad that's part AI innovation lab, part automation factory, part internal consultancy. Think of us as the special ops of intelligent systems - we drop into any department, understand their pain, and leave behind AI-powered, self-running solutions.

Our playground:
We're not just automating tasks - we're building the AI platform that transforms how Holidu operates. From LLM orchestration to intelligent agents that make decisions, from n8n workflows to custom AI solutions that learn and adapt.

You'll join our squad of automation architects and AI pioneers - we're the ones who look at a 47-step process and ask "Why not zero steps?" We're the ones who see an LLM and think "How can this transform our entire business?

The Hunt

• Track down manual and inefficient processes
• Sync with departments to understand their automation wishlist
• Build agentic workflows that feel like magic
• Connect systems that have never talked before

The Lab

• Experiment with cutting-edge AI models and tools
• Create intelligent agents that actually understand context
• Transform chaos into self-running systems

The Impact

• Design automations that make 700+ colleagues more powerful
• Build solutions that scale from 10 to 10 million operations
• Break down complex business problems into automatable components
• Revolutionize how the entire company operates

The Collaboration

• Partner with Sales, Support, Finance, Marketing - everyone needs you
• Translate business problems into technical solutions
• Estimate ROI and decide what's worth automating (not everything is)
• Enable teams to eventually build their own automations

Our Tech Stack

• Any language that works - Python, JavaScript, Bash, Go - we're pragmatists, not purists
• Cloud Native: AWS-first infrastructure with Kubernetes orchestration
• Your machine: Mac or Windows - you choose your tools
• Your customers: 700+ colleagues, each with processes begging for automation

Your role in this journey

We need someone who dreams in workflows and thinks in systems. You know that moment when elegant code eliminates hours of manual work? When a workflow you designed runs flawlessly at 3 AM while everyone sleeps? That's the high we're chasing. We need someone who sees inefficiency as a personal challenge and automation as an art form.

Holidu processes millions of bookings, manages 50k+ properties, and serves 100M+ users yearly.

Too many humans doing robot work.
