What you'll do
- Own product and engineering strategy for Back of House end to end, across a genuinely multi-service architecture
- Run globally distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones, building the structures that let them ship together
- Build out a management team and develop senior ICs, growing a culture that holds up at scale
- Improve reliability, performance and technical debt as ongoing disciplines, without stopping delivery to do it
- Decide where AI genuinely belongs in the Back of House product, and ship AI-driven improvements that change how hotel teams work day to day
What we're looking for
- Combined Product and Engineering ownership at VP level, with clear, end-to-end ownership of a complex, multi-service product domain
- A track record running globally distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones
- Experience operating inside a scaling SaaS business, ideally Series C through pre-IPO or recently public, as an operator rather than an adviser
- Effective people leadership: managing managers, developing senior ICs, and building healthy team cultures at scale, plus a track record of improving reliability, performance and technical debt without stopping delivery
- AI Fluency Level 4 or the equivalent hands-on experience: you've shipped AI as a genuine part of a product, not just used it to speed up your own workflow
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience in hospitality technology: PMS, POS, channel management, revenue management, or closely adjacent systems
- Travel tech experience (airlines, GDS, travel management companies), or comparable operationally critical, high-availability B2B platforms
- Founder or early-stage builder experience, having built products from zero to scale
