About the Role
We’re looking for a Mid‑Level Software Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, works closely with others and experiments with new technologies. You should have strong backend experience and have worked as a full‑stack engineer. You’ll help craft accessible user experiences, design scalable systems and explore how AI and automation can make our platform smarter and more impactful for hoteliers worldwide.
About the Tamarin Squad
The Tamarin Squad focuses on Triptease’s core off‑site marketing channels: Metasearch, Paid Search and Retargeting. The squad’s mission is to empower hotels with control over these channels, giving them the tools to shape strategy, reach their most valuable guests and drive direct bookings.
We’re a collaborative team that primarily uses TypeScript (Node.js, React) with Google Cloud Run, Kubernetes, Terraform and BigQuery. Day‑to‑day, we build backend services, integrate with platforms like the Google Ads API and deliver features within Campaign Manager that give hoteliers both strategic control and tactical flexibility.
Tech Stack

- Backend: Node.js, experimenting with Bun
- Frontend: React (admin tools and reporting)
- Infrastructure: Google Cloud Run, Kubernetes, Terraform
- Databases: BigQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL
- Integrations: Google Ads API, various metasearch and advertising platforms
Your Day‑to‑Day
- Pair program with teammates for the majority of your coding time
- Take part in daily stand‑ups, weekly planning sessions and frequent retros to continuously improve how we work
- Collaborate openly with colleagues—value honest discussion and make sure everyone’s voice is heard
- Own end‑to‑end strategy with the squad, deciding together what actions to take to succeed
- Practice trunk‑based development and continuous delivery, shipping small, incremental changes to production
Requirements
- Pair programming & TDD: Comfortable with pair programming most of the day and see test‑driven development as integral to building reliable systems. You use tests to drive design, embrace refactoring and value small, incremental code and test cycles.
- Full‑stack experience: Strong backend experience in TypeScript with additional frontend skills for admin UIs. Solid skills across the full stack—from client‑side to server‑side development.
- Cloud‑native experience: Practical experience building deployment pipelines and continuous delivery on cloud platforms. Familiarity with GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
- Data systems & analytics: Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL and BigQuery. Passion for working with data to power real‑time analytics, A/B testing and monitoring with tools like DataDog.
- Systems thinking: Experience designing and building distributed, high‑availability, high‑throughput systems while maintaining modularity, functionality, maintainability and data consistency. Solid understanding of HTTP and how the internet works.
- Code quality: Write obvious, concise code that rarely needs comments and always leave the codebase better than you found it.
- Product mindset & collaboration: Customer‑centric approach, working closely with product managers to ensure technical solutions deliver value. Contribute ideas and strategy, not just code, and thrive in collaborative environments that drive squad momentum.
- Values alignment: Commitment to continuous learning, autonomy, psychological safety and developing your craft.
