Senior Backend Engineer, Booking Platform - 100% Remote - EMEA

We're looking for an impact-focused Senior Backend Engineer to join Bookineers, the team that owns Hostaway's guest-facing services: the guest portal and the direct sales site builder.

• Strong experience with PHP in production, and experience with Go (or strong interest and ability to ramp up quickly)
• Proven experience designing and operating high-traffic, customer-facing systems
• Experience decomposing monoliths or extracting services, with a pragmatic view on when to do it (and when not to)
• Solid experience designing APIs — REST, GraphQL, or similar — with an eye on clarity, versioning, and consumability (bonus if you've built APIs for AI agents or LLM-driven clients)
• Comfortable using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your daily workflow, and able to get real leverage out of them
• Proven experience in product-oriented engineering teams, ideally within SaaS
• Familiarity with Node.js and React is a plus
