We’re Hostmaker – nice to meet you! Our attentive,
guest-ready services create unforgettable experiences for those welcomed
into the homes of our hosts. Guest-ready means exactly what it says on
the tin: the little touches that do big things, from linen rentals and
housekeeping to meeting and greeting excited explorers when they arrive.
And we need a master-crafter of code to help us get our ducks in a
line.
We’re well on our way to world domination (we’re the leaders
of our field in Europe). And we’re looking for a nifty, knowledgeable
coding extraordinaire to help us develop the platforms and tools needed
to conquer the rest of the world. We’ve just raised close $10 million in
funding, we operate in 4 cities (and counting), and we’re growing our
people too —fast.
The tech team core to the business and is growing rapidly. We've more than doubled in size since November. It's headed up by Ankur (IIT, Thoughtworks, CompareTheMarket) and Jamie (Oxford University, Ocado, startups, Deliveroo).
The Software we Build
For a company of this size, we have an very wide variety of software, with a wide variety of users. For example:
- A marketing website focused on property owners
- A dashboard for our property owners to understand how we are looking after their properties and making them money
- A booking platform where you can book cleaning services, or someone to meet your guests
- A mobile app that our housekeepers, drivers and welcome wizards use
- A
tool to price all of our properties, and list across multiple booking
sites (airbnb, booking.com, homeaway etc), used by our team of pricing
experts
- A tool to algorithmically optimise the schedule of our
field staff, so that they can move around the city in the most efficient
way, used by our operations team
- Backend systems to manage all of our bookings, properties, guests etc from the office
- ... and even more are planned.
And each one of them needs to work equally well in Paris, Barcelona, Rome and London.
It's
a very friendly company, and you'll get the support you need, but we're
looking for someone who can be trusted to work independently and to
take the lead. You can go around the business, working out problems and
building solutions. At the same time, you must be humble enough to take
feedback and adjust your designs appropriately.
