Why us?

How we work

At Bookboost, our product and engineering team work an adaptation of the Shape Up methodology. We work in this way to ensure we are working on the most valuable unit of work at all times, removing risk upfront and empowering our engineers to make technical decisions in collaboration with product and design. In addition, we work in 6-week cycles, long enough to build something meaningful start-to-finish and short enough that everyone can feel the deadline looming from the start, so they use the time wisely.

Following every 6-week cycle, we have 1-week Cooldown Weeks - a week of no product-prioritised work where engineers have the freedom to tackle that tech debt that has been bothering them for weeks or experiment with new tooling or feature improvements. We have multiple features in our product today which were born during a Cooldown Week!

Our AI vision

We build with AI, and we expect everyone in engineering to work with AI every day.

The job is shifting from writing syntax to designing systems. We want engineers to be architects: people who define the right abstractions, shape the right interfaces, and use AI to move faster without lowering the bar on quality.

About Us

Bookboost is a Swedish hotel technology scale-up redefining how hotels connect with guests. In 2021, we have launched a powerful, user-friendly multi-channel CRM platform and and expanded with a Customer Data Platform in 2023. Since then, our platform has become a cornerstone for modern hospitality operations.

Operating in 32 countries with 22 million active users, and holding a 4.9/5 rating on Hotel Tech Report, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted partner in the hospitality industry. Our goal is not just to keep pace, but to set the pace by leading the market in hospitality engagement technology.

Oh, and one last thing

If you’re reading this thinking “I don’t tick every single box,” don’t worry. We care more about passion, ambition, and growth mindset than a perfect resume. If you’re excited about this role and ready to make an impact, apply anyway. Let’s reshape hospitality together.
