Company mission
To create stays that are unashamedly original, and that match how people feel when they travel.
Role
Who you are
- Strong technical skills are important, but how you approach your work is just as important
- Own your work. When something's unclear, you investigate, propose solutions, and unblock yourself. You stick to your word
- Communicate proactively. When something's off, you raise it constructively in standups, retros, or Slack. Not as blame, but as a path forward
- Obsess over quality. We're guest-facing. Details matter. You catch the edge cases, polish the UI, and don't ship "good enough."
- Learn fast and stay curious. You seek feedback, evolve your skills, and aren't defensive when someone challenges your approach
- Have good product taste. You understand trade-offs, think beyond the ticket, and balance technical decisions with what's best for the guest experience
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment. We move quickly. You're energized by that, not overwhelmed
- Lift others up. You share context, give thoughtful code reviews, and help teammates grow. You're patient when pairing and generous with your knowledge
- 4+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience
- Strong experience with Next.js, TypeScript, React, and CSS
- Strong experience with Node.js and API design
- Hands-on experience with serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS)
- Comfortable with Agentic workflows, able to leverage agents in a structured way
- Fluency in English
- Self-starter with an ownership mindset
Desirable
- Familiarity with NestJS
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (SST preferred)
- Exposure to Clean Architecture or Domain-Driven Design patterns
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to join our Travel Experience team. This is a tight-knit, guest-facing team building products in areas such as online check-in, trip management, guest communication, and authentication
- You'll be the third engineer on a team with a Lead Engineer, Product Manager, and Product Designer. The work is full-stack, though with a user-facing tilt. You'll build polished interfaces in Next.js while also shaping the NestJS APIs and services behind them
- Frontend:
- Next.js hosted on Vercel
- TypeScript, React, CSS Modules
- Zod, React Hook Form
- Storybook
- React Aria Components, RadixUI
- Backend:
- NestJS microservices running on AWS Lambda
- AWS services such as DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge
- SST for Infrastructure as Code
- New services adopt Clean Architecture, use-case driven, easy to test, and AI-friendly
- Monitoring:
- Lumigo and Sentry
- Developer Tools:
- Claude Code and Cursor for AI-assisted development
- GitHub with CodeRabbit for code reviews
- Process:
- Linear for product management
- 2-week sprints with daily standups, refinements, sprint planning, and retros
- First Friday of each sprint is dedicated to tech gardening, where we improve our codebase, documentation, monitoring, and chip away at technical debt
Our take
While the short-term rentals market has exploded over the previous decade, led by AirBnb, no startup has managed to guarantee quality for consumers while delivering revenue to hotels and hosts alike. NUMA aims to fill that gap.
The company differentiates itself in the eyes of consumers, from competitors like Sonder, by including properties at all price points, as well as appealing to third-party hoteliers with its own tech stack solution for a percentage of revenue.
With its initial expansion hopes hindered by the pandemic, the company is now back to its focus on scaling across Europe. By growing its number of units, NUMA will be able to better serve ‘midstay’ customers who seek to stay for one month or longer in different cities, as well as catering to the new nomadic workforce.
