We're Houst 🏠: A professional management service for properties. Our mission is to make hosting on websites hassle-free for everyone using technology to disrupt the short-term accommodation sector. We’ve grown fast. Since launching in 2015, we’ve partnered with thousands of happy hosts, helping them to make important earnings. The business has now expanded worldwide – we’re operating in over 20 cities globally, from Auckland to Lisbon, and there’s a lot more to come. From holidaymakers to full-time landlords, host happiness is central to everything we do.
About the role:
We’re building Houst using Python, Rails and with React and React Native on front. We care about agile principles and use good practices from Scrum and Kanban, but are not married to any single methodology. We pride ourselves in quality and collaboration. Every change we want to make to production code has to pass Continuous Integration and Peer Code Reviews before it can be merged in. It also allows us to deploy features and progress quickly, as well as identify potential bugs before they are deployed.
- 3+ years of experience with React
- Strong knowledge of TypeScript
- Good communication skills in English
- Happy to be a part of a team and willing to discuss/review your work
- A desire for self-development
- Nice to have: experience with backend development, preferably Python and PostgreSQL
- 20 days paid holiday (25 in case of full time work) – plus bank holidays and an extra day off on your birthday (because who wants to work on their birthday)
- Enviable company culture – we’ve put time into getting our work culture just right. Regular team social events, company-wide recognition of outstanding work.
