Jobbeschreibung

Overview

Hostaway is the market-leading SaaS scale-up transforming the vacation rental industry. Backed by $365M in funding, we’re expanding fast and building new capabilities like Trust Accounting to set the standard in our industry. This is a fully remote role, but the candidate must be within the European region to collaborate with their team, peers, and internal customers.

We’re looking for a delivery-focused Engineering Manager to build and lead our first Trust Accounting team. This team will design and deliver a financial subsystem that property managers can trust - accurate, compliant, and reliable. You’ll be responsible not only for delivery but also for establishing a culture where correctness and accountability are paramount. This is a greenfield opportunity where you’ll influence architecture, processes, and talent from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Build and lead a product engineering team (5-7 engineers) focused on financial correctness and compliance.
• Ensure timely, high-quality delivery of the trust accounting subsystem with secure, scalable, auditable, and maintainable architecture.
• Collaborate deeply with Product, Finance, Legal, and other Engineering teams to align on goals and ensure execution.
• Establish and refine processes to improve delivery speed, system reliability, and team autonomy.
• Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a culture of precision, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Establish engineering practices that emphasize quality, resilience, and observability.
• Contribute technical context to discussions and decisions while fostering transparency and accountability.

Job Requirements

• 6+ years of experience as a Software Engineering Manager or in a similar leadership role with direct people management responsibilities.
• A strong foundation in software engineering; you may not write production code daily, but you should engage in technical and architectural discussions.
• Proven experience leading engineering teams in a product-oriented environment, ideally within SaaS or platform businesses.
• Ability to drive execution: aligning team goals, managing delivery timelines, and removing blockers.
• Track record of mentoring engineers and creating an environment where people can grow and thrive.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in distributed/remote settings.
• Comfortable working in agile environments with fast-moving priorities and cross-functional teams.
• Fluent English.
• Familiarity with fintech and accounting is a plus, but not required.

What Success Looks Like

• The trust accounting subsystem is delivered reliably, accurately, trusted by customers and regulators, and integrated seamlessly into the Hostaway platform.
• The team is high-performing, engaged, and growing under your leadership.
• Compliance and financial correctness are built into system design and delivery processes.
• Cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Legal, Product, and Engineering runs smoothly.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive pay based on market rates in the country of the applicant.
• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere within your country of residence. No office location.
• Equity: Stock options in a fast-growing and profitable company.
• Values-Driven Leadership: Core values guide strategic and tactical decisions.
• Professional Growth: Rapid growth offers learning opportunities and career advancement.
• Annual Paid Leave: Varies by country and contract norms.
• Country-Specific Benefits: Health Insurance and Pensions where customary, depending on country of the applicant.
• Dynamic Team Culture: A diverse, global team across 40+ countries.
