Senior Product Engineer (Laravel)

Our Core platform is comprised of properties, calendar, messaging, metrics, operations, and guest experience. The Growth component is about guiding our customers through sign-up, their first experiences with our platform, setting them up for success, helping them adopt our features and ultimately growing their own businesses with Hospitable. Our more than 22,000 customers rely on our core and connectivity product to manage $500M+ in monthly reservations.

To help with maintaining and improving Hospitable's core platform and growth strategies, our remote-first, fully-distributed team is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to maintain momentum and stability.

As an engineering team we are all in on Laravel and Angular. Our self-defined tech stack acronym is PALM-B: PHP, Angular, Laravel, MySQL and Beanstalk. We consider ourselves AI forward, all in on Cursor — 90-95% of the code we ship to production is AI generated, which makes the reviewing part even more important.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on backend technologies
• Significant experience with Laravel, PHP 7+, MySQL, and testing pipelines in a deployed web application used by paying customers — non-negotiable
• Hands-on with agentic coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot or similar) in a real production codebase, not just side projects
• An eye for testable, maintainable, and intuitive code
• The mentality of "Code is a means, not an end" — avoids unnecessary abstraction, compass points toward customer and business value
• The ability to think through non-obvious usage scenarios and explore ripple effects within complex systems
• High degree of empathy both toward customers and teammates
• Exceptional communication skills, especially written — most communication happens on Slack and Notion
• Self-motivated and able to make decisions when surrounded by uncertainty
• Experience with queue/job-centric backends is a plus
• Experience with building production systems where data ingestion from third-party APIs is critical to the business is a big plus
