      <Title>Backend Developer - Host Experience (all genders)</Title>
      <Description><![CDATA[<p>Join our Host Experience department as a Backend Developer and become part of the team that brings new vacation rental properties to life on Holidu.</p>
<p>You&#39;ll be working at the heart of our property acquisition engine , where we take hosts from their very first sign-up all the way to their first booking, making that journey as fast and seamless as possible.</p>
<p>This team sits at a uniquely strategic intersection of product and growth. You will build and optimize the systems that every new host flows through: from onboarding and listing creation, to property configuration, content quality, and referral programs.</p>
<p>The work demands reliability and attention to detail , because the time between a host signing up and welcoming their first guest, and how well their property performs from day one, is directly shaped by the quality of what you build.</p>
<p><strong>Our Tech Stack</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Backend written in Kotlin and Java 21+ (with Spring Boot), with Gradle.</li>
<li>Deployed as microservices on AWS-hosted Kubernetes cluster (EKS).</li>
<li>Internal and external web applications written with ReactJS.</li>
<li>Event-driven communication between services through EventBridge with SQS / ActiveMQ.</li>
<li>Usage of a diverse set of technologies depending on the use case, such as PostgreSQL, S3, Valkey, ElasticSearch, GraphQL, and many more.</li>
<li>Monitoring with OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, APM, and CloudWatch.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Your role in this journey</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Design, build, evolve, and maintain our services, creating a great user experience for our hosts.</li>
<li>Build a strong understanding of the product, use it to drive initiatives end-to-end, and contribute to shaping the team&#39;s direction as you grow.</li>
<li>Work AI-first: use AI to accelerate not just coding, but data exploration, codebase understanding, technical design, and decision-making , and continuously sharpen how you use these tools.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Your backpack is filled with</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A passion for great user experience and drive to deliver world-class products.</li>
<li>Early experience delivering product impact through engineering , you&#39;ve shipped things that real users depend on.</li>
<li>Experience with Java or Kotlin with Spring is a plus.</li>
<li>Experience with relational databases and deploying apps in cloud environments. NoSQL experience is a plus.</li>
<li>Familiarity with various API types and integration best practices.</li>
<li>Strong problem-solving skills and a team-oriented mindset.</li>
<li>Curiosity for the business side - you want to understand the “why” behind the features.</li>
<li>A love for coding and building high-quality products that make a difference.</li>
<li>High motivation to learn and experiment with new technologies.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Our adventure includes</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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. Our customers are guests and hosts - people we can all relate to - making work meaningful and energizing.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Flexibility: Work a hybrid setup with 50% in-office time for collaboration, and spend up to 8 weeks a year from other inspiring locations. You’ll stay connected through regular events and meet-ups across our almost 30 offices.</li>
<li>Perks on Top: Of course, we also offer travel benefits, gym discounts, and other perks to keep you energized - but what truly sets us apart is the chance to grow in a dynamic industry, alongside amazing people, while having fun along the way.</li>
