Jobbeschreibung

Holidu is one of the world’s fastest-growing vacation rental technology companies. Our mission is to make booking and hosting holiday homes free of doubt and full of joy, by helping hosts generate more bookings with less work and helping guests find a holiday home they truly enjoy. Our team of 700 colleagues from 60+ nations shares a passion for tech, an ambition for constant improvement, and a relentless drive to bring the best experience to more than 40k vacation rental hosts and 4 million annual guests.

Your future team

We're looking for software engineers who own problems end-to-end. You'll ship AI features used by Holidu's 4M guests and 55k+ hosts, leverage tools like Claude Code to multiply your output, and work on the parts of Holidu that define how we'll work for the next decade.

If you've shipped real things, want more ownership than you've had, and are energized by building agentic systems in production, this role is for you.

Your team works directly with the Co-founder and CTO.

The Context

Holidu connects 4 million guests with 55k+ vacation rental hosts every year. Our Agentic Experience team is a small, fast-moving group inside Holidu's 200-person Engineering organization, rethinking how users interact with our platform using AI, how we build applications, and how we design agentic systems, with a lot of first-principles thinking along the way.

Today our agents handle thousands of real conversations across WhatsApp, email, in-product chat, and the help center, with the surface area expanding into adjacent products and internal tools. We're not running playbooks or following standard processes. We innovate and move radically fast.

Your role in this journey

Own outcomes, not features. You'll take a problem like "hosts spend too much time on guest communication" and decide what to build, how to ship, and how we'll know it worked.

Ship fast, learn faster. From idea to production in days, not sprints. We measure output in customer impact.

Solve real problems with agents. You'll write code for multi-agent systems with tool calling and handoffs that handle thousands of real conversations and complex workflows, but the code is the easy part. The work is figuring out which conversations are worth automating in the first place.

Use the right tool for the job. Our stack runs on Kotlin/Java, AWS, Kubernetes, ReactJS, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Redis, with workflow-automation tooling and the Model Context Protocol stitching agents to the rest of the platform, across several repos. You won't hesitate to push for a better tool when it's warranted.

Your backpack is filled with

• Product instincts. You ask "what problem are we solving?" before "what should I build?".
• Comfort with ambiguity. You don't wait for perfect specs to start moving.
• 2–5 years of backend development experience.
• A track record of shipping features end-to-end in production environments with real users.
• Genuine fluency with AI coding tools like Claude Code, not as a trick, but as part of how you think and build.
• Strong fundamentals (we mostly use Kotlin, but the language matters less than the thinking).
• Clear communication with code, in documents, and in conversation.

Our adventure includes

Impact: Shape the future of travel with products used by millions of guests and thousands of hosts. At Holidu ideas become products, data drives decisions, and iteration fuels fast learning. Your work matters and you'll see the impact.

Compensation & Perks: A compelling package including meaningful equity in a profitable, fast-growing business, plus travel benefits, gym discounts, and other perks to keep you energized.

Learning: Grow professionally in a culture that thrives on curiosity and feedback. You'll learn from outstanding colleagues, collaborate across disciplines, and benefit from mentorship and personal learning budgets with a strong focus on AI.

Great People: Join a team of smart, motivated and international colleagues who challenge and support each other. We celebrate wins and keep our culture fun, ambitious and human.

Technology: Work in a modern tech environment. You'll experience the pace of a scale-up combined with the stability of a proven business model, enabling you to build, test, and improve continuously.

Flexibility: Work a hybrid setup with 50% in-office time for collaboration, and spend up to 8 weeks a year from other inspiring locations.

We are committed to diversity in all aspects of our business. We encourage applications from all genders, all corners of the world and all individual backgrounds. You are welcome to submit your application without a photo and without stating your gender, date of birth, marital status, nationality or disability status (if applicable). If you require any special assistance when arranging interviews, office visits or the recruitment process in general, please contact the relevant HR person responsible for this job and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
