Job description

At Cloudbeds, we're not just building software, we’re transforming hospitality. Our intelligently designed platform powers properties across 150 countries, processing billions in bookings annually. From independent properties to hotel groups, we help hoteliers transform operations and uplevel their commercial strategy through a unified platform that integrates with hundreds of partners. And we do it with a completely remote team. Imagine working alongside global innovators to build AI-powered solutions that solve hoteliers' biggest challenges. Since our founding in 2012, we've become the World's Best Hotel PMS Solutions Provider and landed on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 again in 2024, but we're just getting started.

Location:

Remote (Europe)

How You'll Make an Impact:

As a Staff Software Engineer in Revenue Intelligence, you will shape the technical direction of systems that help hospitality businesses understand demand, identify revenue opportunities, and make better pricing and commercial decisions. You will work across customer-facing applications, backend services, data pipelines, analytical stores, recommendation workflows, and cloud infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will solve complex engineering problems directly while establishing architecture, improving reliability and security, reducing systemic technical debt, and aligning multiple teams around durable technical decisions. Your impact will extend beyond individual features to the quality, scalability, operability, and long-term evolution of the Revenue Intelligence platform.

The Revenue Intelligence team builds products and platforms that turn hospitality data into practical decisions for hoteliers, including pricing recommendations, demand insights, reporting, automation, and commercial opportunities. Our systems span frontend experiences, APIs, distributed services, data processing, machine-learning workflows, and production infrastructure. We value pragmatic engineering, strong ownership, evidence-based decisions, and technical leaders who raise the effectiveness of the people and systems around them.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Set and evolve the technical strategy for Revenue Intelligence, translating product and business goals into coherent architecture and executable engineering plans
• Lead the design and delivery of complex capabilities across customer-facing web applications, backend APIs, event-driven services, data pipelines, analytical storage, and recommendation workflows
• Identify and resolve systemic risks in scalability, reliability, security, data quality, observability, and operability before they become recurring customer or engineering problems
• Drive modernization of legacy systems and infrastructure through incremental, well-reasoned migrations that preserve delivery momentum and production stability
• Partner with Product, Data Science, Infrastructure, Security, and engineering leaders to define boundaries, contracts, ownership, and long-term platform direction
• Remain hands-on in the codebase through implementation, technical spikes, design reviews, debugging, incident response, and the most consequential or ambiguous engineering work
• Raise the technical effectiveness of the wider organization through mentoring, architecture guidance, engineering standards, documentation, and constructive challenge

What Sets You Up for Success:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including significant technical leadership across complex production systems
• Deep hands-on expertise in Python, with the ability to work effectively across both ecosystems and guide engineering decisions beyond a single language
• Strong architecture and distributed-systems fundamentals, including API design, event-driven workflows, consistency, failure handling, scalability, and service boundaries
• Experience with data-intensive systems such as PostgreSQL, Redshift, or similar analytical platforms, batch and streaming pipelines, and large-scale data processing
• Experience designing or operating recommendation systems, machine-learning platforms, pricing systems, experimentation workflows, or other decision-support products
• Strong cloud and platform engineering experience across AWS, containers, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD, CI/CD, observability, and secure production operations
• A demonstrated ability to lead through influence, create alignment across teams, communicate complex tradeoffs clearly, and drive decisions from ambiguity to execution
• A strong record of improving engineering quality through testing strategy, operational readiness, incident learning, security, documentation, and sustainable technical standards
• Product judgment and customer empathy, with the ability to connect technical investments to measurable outcomes for hoteliers and the business
• Business-level English fluency and experience collaborating effectively in a remote, globally distributed organization

Bonus Skills to Stand Out:

• Deep hands-on expertise in .NET/C#
