Job description

Overview

We build software for Airbnbs to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience.

We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it.

We believe that everyone, no matter their background in work, life, culture or experiences has the ability to be exceptional. We seek exceptional people.

We are bold, like risks, and take on big challenges together. Our customers love the product, provide valuable feedback, and trust us to rapidly help them with more of their problems.

Feel free to join in one of our upcoming Townhalls on YouTube to experience it for yourself.

We’re seeking a Technical Support Engineer to bridge the gap between our Customer Support and Engineering teams.

What you will be working on

As a Technical Support Engineer, you\'ll combine technical expertise with customer advocacy.

You'll conduct technical investigations, build tools that enhance our award-winning support team's ability to deliver exceptional customer service, and create comprehensive documentation to help both customers and team members.

This position is ideal for a Laravel engineer looking to transition into a more customer-focused role, leveraging technical expertise to enhance user experiences, or you could be someone who already works in customer support but likes to tinker with tech in your spare time and are looking for that next opportunity to step into a more technical role.

After a few weeks onboarding, you\'ll dive right into supporting our customers and working along side our incredible support team members.

You will:

• Design, build, and maintain tools using Laravel and Laravel Nova to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our Customer Support team.
• Develop and manage automated workflows within our customer support platform (e.g. Intercom Fin actions) to optimize support operations.
• Create and update technical documentation and help articles to empower customers and support staff with self-service resources.
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams to diagnose and resolve advanced technical issues escalated from support.
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales and Customer Success teams to identify opportunities for product improvements based on customer feedback and support trends.

Our self-defined tech stack acronym is PALM-B; PHP, Angular, Laravel, MySQL and Beanstalk.

Hospitable.com is a remote-only and distributed company. For this position, your location is not a requirement. The ideal fit would work under US timezones.

We’re aiming for a start date no earlier than November 3, 2025.

Don’t tick all the boxes? Talk to us about why you’re still an amazing fit. In the meantime, here’s what we’re paying attention to:

• Proven experience with PHP and Laravel, either via employment as an engineer or work outside of your day job.
• Experience with customer support platforms, e.g. Intercom.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.
• Exceptional communication skills - especially written. We are a remote-first, fully distributed company. Most communication happens on Slack and Notion.
• Strong technical communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• A customer-centric mindset and a passion for improving user experiences.

The company itself is also a product, one that we iterate on. We're always improving and creating an environment where we all love to work.

• A supportive and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed.
• The total budget for this role is within US$81,000 - US$107,236.00 depending on the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors—or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation. For US employees, the gross salary could be anywhere between $68,850.00 - $91,150.60.
• We also offer an extra incentive into our equity with RSUs (through our $HOST token).
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• For US employees: healthcare (including EPO, PPO and HSA), 401(k).
• Mental-health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack.
• Recognized on Inc.’s list of Best Workplaces for 2023
