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

A day pass is sold by capacity. A cabana is reserved as a unit. A massage needs a time slot and available resources. Each has different rules for inventory, pricing, and cancellation. Those rules must remain correct wherever a booking begins.

We are hiring a Staff Engineer to lead the evolution of our booking platform and external API. You will help distribution partners and authorized AI agents book the same inventory as ResortPass guests.

You will build on a production Rails OpenSearch and Postgres system while shaping important decisions about its future. What you build will determine how quickly we can launch hotel and spa partners and new experiences. You will see your architectural choices through to real bookings and help other engineers build on them.

This role is located at our Flatiron HQ four days per week.
Annual base salary: 220,000–240,000, plus equity, based on experience

Your ownership and team

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will lead architecture and the technical roadmap for the booking domain and external API. This is a hands-on individual contributor role: you will write core production code and guide impl
