To partner with property managers in the growth of their business by providing solutions to achieve their goals.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience as a Software Engineering Manager or in a similar position (CTO, Head of Engineering Department, Director of Engineering) with direct people management responsibilities
- A strong foundation in software engineering — you don't need to write production code daily, but you're comfortable reading and reasoning about complex systems
- Proven experience leading engineering teams in a product-oriented environment, ideally within SaaS or platform businesses
- Ability to drive execution: aligning team goals, managing delivery timelines, and removing blockers
- Track record of mentoring engineers and creating an environment where people can grow and thrive
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in distributed/remote settings
- Comfortable working in agile environments with fast-moving priorities and cross-functional teams
- Fluent English
- Experience in remote-first teams and product companies (vs. consultancy/project shops) is preferred
What the job involves
- We're looking for a delivery-focused Engineering Manager to lead one of our most impactful product teams - the Booking Engine team
- This team owns the platform that powers direct bookings for thousands of vacation rental properties, and touches both B2B (property managers) and B2C (end guests) experiences
- From secure guest portals and upsells to SEO-optimized, high-converting booking flows, the Booking Engine is central to Hostaway's success
- You'll guide a high-performing team, ensure timely and high-quality delivery, and create a culture of ownership, learning, and growth
- This new role was created due to company growth, and you'll play a key part in scaling our engineering organization
- Lead and manage a product engineering team with a clear focus on delivery, ownership, and impact
- Ensure the team delivers high-quality software on time, with scalable, secure, and maintainable architecture
- Support engineers through mentorship, coaching, and career development — helping each person grow and succeed
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering teams to align on goals and ensure successful execution
- Foster a team culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement
- Establish and refine engineering processes that improve delivery speed, system reliability, and team autonomy
- Contribute to technical discussions and decisions, ensuring technical context and system thinking are always present
- Partner with the Director of Engineering and other Engineering Leaders to shape org-wide practices and team-level performance standards
