About Autumn
Autumn is the operating system for independent hospitality. We unify pricing, search, the booking engine, reputation, and email against a single guest record, so a small team can run a marketing stack that usually requires a brand, an agency, and a tech vendor.
We started in New York City in 2025 and serve hundreds of independent hotels across the globe. We earn only when a direct booking lands. Our incentives mirror the operator's.
How we work
- Hire carefully. We open roles when the work demands them, not when the headcount plan says so.
- Ship deliberately. One surface, well, beats three surfaces passably.
- Operator-first. Every engineer spends two days a year on a real front desk.
- Read every email. careers@ and support@ both route to humans who can change the product.
About the role
Own a vertical slice of the platform end-to-end (booking engine, marketing surfaces, the operator console) and ship it at AI-native speed. We hire engineers who drive the most advanced AI coding workflows, not bystanders to them.
What you'll do:
- Ship end-to-end features across the marketing site, on-brand booking engine, and operator console: front-end to API to PMS connector.
- Work AI-native by default: drive agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to plan, write, test, and review, and own the judgment of what actually ships.
- Treat the AI workflow as craft: author the prompts, specs, and guardrails that make the next feature faster, and share what works with the team.
- Own incidents on the surfaces you ship. The on-call rotation is small and pages a human, not a runbook.
- Write code another engineer (or an agent) can read in twelve months without a hand-off doc.
Requirements
We don't require formal credentials. We do require:
- Five-plus years shipping production TypeScript; fluent across the stack: Next.js / Postgres / a job queue / OAuth flows.
- Genuinely AI-native: you already lean on the most advanced AI coding workflows daily and can show how they changed what you ship and how fast.
- A bias toward boring, well-named code over abstractions you'd defend in a meeting.
- Based in New York City. This is an in-person role.
- Hospitality, travel, or ops-software background is a plus, not a requirement.
