Job description

Why Headout?

We’re a rocketship: 9-figure revenue, record growth, and profitable

With $200M+ in revenue, guests in 700+ cities, and 18 months of profitability, Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re just getting started. We’ve raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are building a durable company for the long term — because that’s what our mission needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.

What we do is important

In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to museums to live events and everything in between.

Why now?

The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and your impact is real, this is the moment.

Our culture

Reinventing the travel industry isn’t easy, but that’s the fun part.
We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home.

The role:

As a Software Engineer, Web (Frontend) at Headout, you’ll be part of a pod building products and features that directly impact our users. You’ll design and develop high-performance web applications, work closely with product and design teams, and ensure smooth operations by addressing gaps in the development process. This is a chance to learn, grow, and contribute to building reliable and scalable systems used by a global audience.

What makes this role special:

• Build projects end-to-end, starting from scratch and seeing them through to launch.
• Take ownership of features and bring innovative solutions to life.
• Collaborate with experienced developers on diverse projects, from simple improvements to complex systems.
• Be part of a team where your ideas are valued and your contributions directly shape the product.
• Gain real-world experience in web development while growing your skills in a fast-paced environment.

What skills & experience do you need:

• Strong proficiency in React (must-have), along with JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Experience with Git and basic performance optimization.
• 1+ year of frontend development experience, preferably in a startup environment.
• Curiosity, problem-solving ability, and eagerness to learn and grow.

Bonus:

• Contributions to open-source projects or personal side projects.
• Exposure to mobile or backend technologies.
