Job description

AI is making software execution faster and more accessible. What remains rare is judgment - knowing what to build, why it matters, which trade-offs to make, and what it takes to turn an idea into real customer and business impact.

At Profitroom, we build hospitality software used by thousands of hotels and millions of guests. Our Product Engineers own technical solutions end-to-end: from understanding the problem and contributing to technical discovery, through implementation and testing, to release, production and continuous improvement.

We are hiring Product Engineers with one of two technical backgrounds:

• Backend-led: your strongest area is PHP, application architecture, business logic, APIs, data and distributed systems. You are comfortable taking responsibility for backend solutions and stepping into other parts of the product when established patterns, collaboration and AI make it practical.
  
• Full-stack: you work across frontend and backend, usually with your strongest edge in TypeScript, Vue.js, user journeys and UX. PHP and Laravel are part of your regular work - not an occasional favour handed over to another team.
  

You do not need identical depth across every part of our stack. We expect strong engineering foundations in your primary area, enough range to deliver meaningful outcomes, and the judgment to recognise when to work independently, when to collaborate and when specialist depth is genuinely needed.

The Product Manager owns product direction and the what and why. You own the technical how - and remain responsible for the quality of what reaches production.

The builder drives; the PM steers. This is what we mean when we say Product Engineer. It is not just a title - it is a way of working.

Shared technical environment

Depending on the product and your area of focus, you will work with:

PHP · Laravel · Symfony · TypeScript · JavaScript · Vue.js · Tailwind · Pinia · REST APIs · MySQL / MariaDB · MongoDB · Redis · RabbitMQ · Microservices · CQRS · Event Sourcing · Docker · Kubernetes · GitLab CI/CD · Claude Code · MCP servers · AI agents

We do not expect every candidate to be equally experienced with every technology listed above.

Probably not for you if

• You are most comfortable when every decision and implementation detail has already been specified
  
• You want a strictly backend-only or frontend-only role and consider the rest of the product someone else’s responsibility
  
• Your definition of “done” ends when the code is merged
  
• You consider testing and production quality primarily the QA team’s responsibility
  
• Your hands‑on AI experience is limited to autocomplete and occasional summaries
  
• You prefer receiving tasks over understanding and owning the problem behind them

Bonus points

• You have built and shipped a side project for yourself or real users
  
• You use AI tools independently and actively develop your own workflows
  
• You have built an MCP server, agent or another tool that solved a real problem
  
• You have worked with Event Sourcing or CQRS in a production system
  
• You have contributed to a design system or component library
  
• You have designed solutions involving caching, queues, service boundaries or complex integrations
  
• You can show a product or feature you owned from the initial problem through to production outcomes

What's uniqe

• Remote-first collaboration model
  
• International technology and product projects
  
• Flexible project collaboration setup
  
• Planned service breaks aligned with contract terms
  
• Opportunity to collaborate with experienced product and technology teams
  
• Opportunity to access selected knowledge‑sharing initiatives
