At Cloudbeds, we’re not just building software, we’re transforming hospitality. Our intelligently designed platform powers properties across 150 countries, processing billions in bookings annually. From independent properties to hotel groups, we help hoteliers transform operations and uplevel their commercial strategy through a unified platform that integrates with hundreds of partners. We do it with a completely remote team.
How You’ll Make an Impact As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will implement new architectures, features, and best practices to scale the Cloudbeds platform. You will contribute to new efforts in service‑oriented architectures, leveraging the latest, cutting‑edge technologies and AWS services across all layers of the software stack.
Inventory Team As the backbone of Cloudbeds’ Central Reservations tribe, the Inventory team owns the logic behind hotel rates and availability – core systems that power everything from group bookings to rate plans to occupancy insights. We thrive on solving foundational, high‑impact challenges at scale, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and thoughtful design.

Play a key role in evolving Cloudbeds’ core architecture for hotel rates and availability.
Help shape and lead technical discussions around complex systems and domain logic, working with technical and non‑technical stakeholders as a contributor to the backend architecture group.

Contribute to the ongoing migration of our core platform toward a modern, microservices‑based architecture.
Work on and maintain legacy monolith code as part of our modernization journey.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to design, build, and deliver scalable, high‑quality features.
Champion engineering excellence by promoting best practices in code quality, architecture, and team processes.
Show initiative, work independently, and proactively identify opportunities for improvement.
Use AI‑assisted development tools to increase productivity and enhance code quality.
What Sets You Up for Success
5+ years of backend software engineering experience using object‑oriented principles in PHP or Java.
2+ years of experience with one or more modern frameworks or ecosystems (e.g., Laravel, Symfony, or similar).
Strong business sense and ability to collaborate with leadership and non‑technical stakeholders on highly visible projects.
Expert knowledge of relational, indexing, and searching technologies, especially MySQL.
Passion for data‑informed development, including metrics, experimentation, and rapid prototyping.
Strong knowledge and passion for software architecture, design patterns, and testing practices.
Experience working with complex data structures and/or inventory cache system is a strong plus.
Business‑level English fluency required (verbal and written).
Bonus Skills to Stand Out
Experience designing and building microservices using PHP or Java.
Experience with gRPC and Protobuf.
Experience with cloud‑based infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS).
Experience working with a remote‑first and globally distributed team.
What to Expect – Your Journey with Us Behind Cloudbeds’ revolutionary technology is a team of redefining what's possible in hospitality. We’re 650+ employees across 40+ countries, bringing together elite engineers, AI architects, world‑class designers, and hospitality veterans to solve challenges others haven’t dared to tackle.
