Activities
In this role, you'll be taking a key role in helping us build the systems that turn first-time users into lifelong RoomPriceGenie champions. Your primary focus will be backend development in Python/Django, where you'll design and deliver resilient services and APIs that make our activation and growth engine smarter every single day.

You'll take full ownership of projects—from exploring the problem space and shaping technical solutions, all the way to implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration based on real user outcomes. You'll write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, applying modern testing practices across unit, integration, and functional layers to ensure we deliver quality at speed.

Collaboration is baked into this role: you'll partner with Product, Data, Design, and engineers from different domains to ship end-to-end features that improve onboarding, increase engagement, and enhance long-term customer success. While your home base is the backend, you'll sometimes dip into data workflows (Snowflake, Airflow, dbt) and contribute to the development GenAI applications to keep the momentum high and help the team move quickly.

You'll also play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our systems. You'll participate in architecture reviews, bring your perspective to technical discussions, and mentor fellow engineers—raising the bar for engineering excellence across the team.

Beyond feature development, you'll help evolve how we work: improving our CI/CD pipelines, refining deployment processes, strengthening monitoring and alerting, and adopting tools and practices that enable a fast, reliable, and delightful developer experience. As a product-minded engineer with high ownership, you'll make thoughtful trade-offs, always keeping user value and measurable impact at the center of your decisions.

This is a role where your ideas matter, your code reaches thousands of users, and your work has a direct, visible impact on the success of small hotels around the world. You'll operate with autonomy, collaborate with a talented and diverse team, and help shape the future of a fast-growing, mission-driven startup.
