Senior Product Engineer (Full-Stack)

Travel-Tech | Hybrid Edinburgh
Excellent package + benefits

Travelnest is hiring another Senior Product/Full-Stack Engineer. I’m delighted to be re-appointed as Travelnest’s fractional Embedded Talent Partner—due to pace and candidate calibre, we’re hiring again.

About Travelnest

Independent holiday-rental owners live or die by their online presence. To compete with big brands, they need great marketing, reviews, pricing, and distribution across every major travel site. We’re building the platform that levels the playing field—think “Shopify for holiday rentals.”

Why join

A small, high-ownership team tackling meaningful problems. One week you’re shaping smarter pricing algorithms; the next you’re building tooling that improves listing reach and photo quality; then rethinking how tens of thousands of listings sync—fast and reliably. Passionate team, real impact.

What you’ll do

  • Own problems end-to-end: discovery → design → build → launch

  • Work full-stack where it matters most; learn quickly, ship often

  • Obsess over the customer; collaborate with hosts, product, design & ops

  • Improve the engine: reduce complexity, strengthen CI/CD, raise standards

What great looks like

  • Founder-level ownership: you spot opportunities, move fast, fix what’s broken

  • Comfortable with ambiguity; make clear calls with imperfect data

  • You lift others—share early, unblock teammates, raise the bar without ego

  • Outcomes over tickets: you move host revenue, reliability, and UX

  • You speak business and code—commercially curious, travel-savvy

Our stack

  • Core: TypeScript, Postgres

  • Web: React (Vercel)

  • Mobile: React Native (Expo)

  • Infra: AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions

  • Observability: Sentry, Grafana

  • AI: OpenAI integrations

  • Legacy you’ll tame: Python + Flask services and a few older patterns

Comp & perks

  • Competitive salary + comprehensive benefits (health, dental, gym discounts, and more)

  • Unlimited holiday

  • Hybrid working (Edinburgh)

 

We’re an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive environment for all.
