At Cloudbeds, we're not just building software, we're transforming hospitality. Our platform powers hotels across 150 countries, processing billions in bookings annually. From boutique properties to large hotel groups, we help hoteliers transform operations and uplevel their commercial strategy through a unified platform that integrates with hundreds of partners. And we do it with a completely remote team. Imagine working alongside global innovators to build AI-powered solutions that solve hoteliers' biggest challenges. Since our founding in 2012, we've continually been recognized for excellence, most recently earning top honors at the 2026 HotelTechAwards for Best Hotel Management Software and landing on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 again, but we're just getting started.

This is a product engineering role focused on production AI systems, agentic workflows, evaluation, and observability - not an internal tooling role. You'll work primarily in Python while collaborating across our broader PHP and Java ecosystem, building systems where correctness, reliability, latency, cost, and model quality are core to the job. Your goal is to help Cloudbeds ship AI-powered customer experiences that are useful, trusted, scalable, and measurable.

The Core AI Squad owns the customer-facing AI platform infrastructure, agentic workflows, and evaluation and observability foundations that enable AI-powered experiences across Cloudbeds products. The team builds the production capabilities that let us evaluate models and providers for specific use cases, orchestrate tools and workflows, measure quality over time, and integrate AI safely into real customer journeys. You'll join a senior, product-minded group that values ownership, pragmatic architecture, fast learning, and strong collaboration across product, design, data, and engineering.
