Position Summary & Responsibilities

About ResortPass

ResortPass is redefining what it means to be a hotel guest. We give people daytime access to pools, beaches, spas, cabanas, and other hotel experiences without an overnight stay.

We work with more than 2,700 hotel partners across 30 countries. We have served more than 7 million guests and generated hundreds of millions of dollars for our hotel partners. Marriott has signed a global agreement with ResortPass, and Hilton has expanded its partnership with us.

We have proven the demand. Now we are building the booking and distribution platform that can bring hotel experiences to many more guests, categories, and channels.

Why this role matters

Most travel platforms are built around overnight rooms. ResortPass is building the platform for everything else a hotel can offer.

A day pass is sold by capacity. A cabana is reserved as a unit. A massage needs a time slot, provider, or room. Events have tickets. Food and beverage may be a product, an add-on, or part of a bundle. Each category has different rules for pricing, inventory, fulfillment, and cancellation.

We need one clear booking domain that supports these differences without creating a separate system for every category. That same inventory must be available through ResortPass, hotel systems, distribution partners, and authorized booking agents.

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to lead the technical work and be the primary hands-on builder for the ResortPass API. In your first year, multiple distribution partners and an authorized AI agent should complete real bookings through the same versioned API.

You will evolve a production Rails and Postgres booking system used by millions of guests. The hard work is keeping prices and inventory correct, preventing overselling, surviving retries and partial failures, and reconciling systems when they disagree.
