Senior AI Product Engineer – Agentic ; CTO Team

Holidu is one of the world’s fastest-growing vacation rental technology companies. Our mission is to make booking and hosting holiday homes free of doubt and full of joy, by helping hosts generate more bookings with less work and helping guests find a holiday home they truly enjoy. Our team of 700 colleagues from 60+ nations shares a passion for tech, an ambition for constant improvement, and a relentless drive to bring the best experience to more than 40k vacation rental hosts and 4 million annual guests.

We're looking for product engineers who multiply their impact through agentic coding. You'll own entire problem spaces, ship fast by leveraging tools like Claude Code, and will work on the most strategic parts of our future of Holidu. You will build AI agents that serve millions of guests and hosts, and strive to build the AGI for the vacation rental space.

If you have a builder's mindset, love to own problems, think outside the box, and have an engineering background, this role is for you.

Your team works directly with the Co-founder and CTO.

Holidu connects 4 million guests with 55k+ vacation rental hosts every year. Our Agentic Experience team is a small, fast-moving group inside the Holidu’s 200-person Engineering organization, that's rethinking how users interact with our platform using AI, how we build applications, and agentic systems, and we do a lot of first-principles thinking.

We’re not running playbooks or following standard processes. We innovate and move radically fast.

Own problems, not tickets. You won't be handed a backlog. You'll be handed challenges like "our hosts spend too much time on guest communication" or "we need to understand why conversion drops here" and you'll figure out what to build.

Ship fast, learn faster. We measure output in customer impact, not lines of code. You'll take features from idea to production, often in days.

Work at the frontier. Our Agentic Experience team builds AI agents that handle thousands of real guest-host conversations, automate complex workflows, and push the boundaries of what's possible with LLMs in production.

Know your tools, stay curious. Our stack runs on Kotlin/Java, AWS, k8s, React

JS, and Postgre

SQL, and you won't hesitate to introduce the right tool for tomorrow.

• You have 5+ years of backend development experience (Kotlin or Java).
• You use AI coding tools like Claude Code as a natural extension of your workflow, not because it's trendy, but because you've found it makes your thinking more effective.
• You've shipped production systems and understand what it takes to keep them running.
• You think in products, not features. You ask "what problem are we solving?" before "what should I build?".
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and energized by ownership.
• You have strong fundamentals (we mostly use Kotlin, but the language matters less than the thinking).
• You communicate clearly - with code, in documents, and in conversation.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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…
