Founding Full-Stack Engineer

Drop.in is the guest CRM for next-gen hotels. We guide guests through our digital guest journey; online check-in/out, payments, upsells, digital keys, and multi-channel communications (email, WhatsApp, SMS). We're growing fast all across Europe, and expanding our integrations with leading PMS and lock providers while rolling out new automation and AI features.

You'll be a part of our founding team, a founding engineer that will shape the product and engineering culture. Your focus will be on helping us build out our new product roadmap (unified inbox, AI hotel agents, self check-in Kiosks), stabilizing and scaling our platform, and unifying a set of powerful integrations into a cohesive experience.

#What you'll do

• Stabilize and scale our Laravel platform: harden queues, caching, jobs, and background workers; improve performance, reliability, and test coverage.
• Own backend architecture: APIs, webhooks, observability, CI/CD.
• Build AI/agent workflows that automate guest comms and operations (routing, auto-replies, task triggers).
• Unify and extend integrations: standardize how we integrate with PMS, payments, and digital key providers to make new integrations faster to build and maintain.
• Set engineering practices: code reviews, conventions, testing strategy; mentor future hires and grow into team lead as we raise seed and scale.
