We are working with a VC-backed Australian scale-up in travel and property tech. They operate in holiday destinations across the country and have grown fast. They’re now rebuilding their technology from the ground up for an agentic world. The whole business is AI-forward, from operations to finance to the leadership team.
The role
This is the first engineering hire in Australia for a new, deliberately small and flat Technology team. You’ll report directly to the CTO.
AI agents write most of the code. Your job is to understand the problem, design how systems fit together, and prove that what gets built is right.
What you’ll work on
- Integrations: connecting booking channels, payments and partner platforms into one reliable system
- Onboarding new businesses: moving businesses that join the group onto the platform without disrupting their customers
- Customer and owner experiences: from finding and booking a stay through to clear visibility of bookings and earnings
- Agentic access: building the data connectors (MCP) that make the company’s data and capabilities safely available to AI agents
How they work
- Agents do most of the implementation. Engineers own the direction, specifications and verification: strict types, lint rules, tests and automated checks
- You own what you ship in production,
including its security
- No hand-offs between product, engineering and data
- Tools and ways of working change every few months, and they like it that way
What they’re looking for
- A strong senior engineer
- Solid fundamentals: how the web works (HTTP, auth, sessions), API design, data modelling and relational databases
- Good judgement on security and architecture, especially for systems that move bookings and money
- Strong in one up-to-date language. TypeScript is ideal, but not essential
- Someone who enjoys working with AI agents and is curious about where software development is heading. If you’re keen to get serious about agentic development, they’ll help you get there
- Business first: you’d rather sit with operations or finance to understand a problem than wait for a ticket
- Startup or scale-up experience
- AWS experience is a plus
Why join
- Work at the front of agentic development, alongside a hands-on CTO
- Real ownership and impact in a business that’s hungry for what you build
- Highly flexible: around one day a week in the office
- Smart, ambitious colleagues from some of the world’s best-known tech companies
- Business travel to some of Australia’s best holiday destinations
