About us

We are the industry-standard brand and operator of flexible accommodations. Founded in 2016 by professionals who previously drove growth at firms Airbnb, KKR, and Apollo, we combines deep technology and real estate expertise, operating from its New York headquarters. Our company leverages its proprietary tech stack to partner with institutional real estate owners, turning single-family, multifamily, and hotel properties into short-term rentals that cater to modern business and leisure travelers—offering a perfect blend of dependability, comfort, and style, we’re not just changing how people travel; we’re reimagining the potential of real estate assets, turning them into profitable and sustainable investments.

We are looking for a Staff Full-Stack Engineer who will lead the design, development, and ongoing optimization of the critical systems that power our pricing strategies, third-party integrations, and broader operational capabilities.

You will also serve as the primary point of contact for one or multiple product areas, coordinating cross-functional activities and ensuring the successful execution of complex projects. You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and operations teams to scope out ambitious projects, define key objectives, and ensure successful delivery. Beyond project execution, you will help shape the long-term technical roadmap by anticipating future challenges, proposing innovative solutions, and championing best practices.

By taking full responsibility for the systems you oversee, from troubleshooting to performance optimization, you will ensure uninterrupted live operations and help uphold our commitment to building a world-class hospitality platform.
