Technical Support Engineer| REMOTE (EU / US up to East Coast) | Full-time | https://hospitable.com/careers
tldr; Software for Airbnbs to rent themselves. Remote-only (~122 people, 31 countries), bootstrapped & profitable, community-funded by hosts. Radical transparency, high trust / low bureaucracy — you're trusted, not managed. Culture: Humble, Simple, Caring, Democratic. Handbook: https://hsptb.com/hndbk
We're all-in on Laravel (non-negotiable for eng) — stack is PALM-B: PHP, Angular, Laravel, MySQL, Beanstalk. Very AI-first: ~90–95% of production code is AI-generated via Cursor and similar; a great seat for agentic engineers who can direct models, review hard, and own what ships.
