Hostaway, a Finland-based SaaS startup, is making significant strides in transforming the vacation rental industry. Known for its innovative solutions and partnerships with major platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking, Hostaway is in a strong growth phase. This translates into various opportunities, one of them being the Technical Lead role described here. Despite being a fully remote position, suitable candidates must reside within the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region to support effective collaboration with the team, customers, and peers.
Tech Leads at Hostaway play a crucial role in guiding their cross-functional teams to develop customer-centric solutions. The role demands technical leadership with a clear understanding of architectural challenges and strategies for long-term remediation. Tech Leads must closely partner with Product Managers, focusing on 'how' to execute the 'what' defined by the PM. It demands a deep dive into business problems to formulate effective technical solutions. This role is supported by an Engineering Manager, ensuring that daily delivery operations run smoothly, breaking tasks into manageable units, and maintaining a balance between speed and sustainability.
Candidates should bring over six years of SaaS software development experience, with at least two years in a leadership role. Proficiency in NodeJS, particularly TypeScript, is essential. A robust understanding of relational databases, event-driven, service-oriented architectures, unit testing, Agile methodologies, and CI/CD practices is required. Additionally, the candidate should navigate balancing technical debt with the implementation of new features optimally in a rapidly evolving environment.
Preferred skills enhance a candidate's application. Experience with NoSQL databases, building cloud-native apps using AWS services, familiarity with PHP, and front-end experience with React and micro-frontends are valuable. Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, alongside DevSecOps practices, will also be beneficial.
An average day for a Tech Lead includes regular team meetings, problem-solving sessions with team members, collaborating with Product Managers and UX designers on new features, addressing technical debt, and reviewing pull requests. These tasks are interspersed with mentoring junior engineers and working to maintain low work-in-progress and pull request review times.
Hostaway offers a compelling package, including competitive compensation aligned with local market rates and equity in the company. The role is entirely remote, allowing flexibility in choosing the work environment within one's country of residence. Additional benefits consist of annual paid leave and country-specific perks like health insurance and pensions. The company emphasizes values-driven leadership, a dynamic team culture, and extensive opportunities for professional growth and development.
For those interested, submitting an application will prompt a response from the Talent Acquisition team. This role is a chance to grow with a fast-expanding company and contribute to innovative solutions in the vacation rental industry.
