⭐ Who We Are:

Embark on a journey with a pioneering team at the forefront of revolutionizing the short-term rental industry. Our mission is to empower property owners by simplifying the hosting process through state-of-the-art technology.

⭐ About the Role:

We’re building Houst using Rails, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL and Redis 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. This ensures that - for the majority of the time - we can run Continuous Deployment smoothly. It also allows us to deploy features and progress quickly, as well as identify potential bugs before they are deployed. You will be part of this process to ensure the systems are properly integrated.
