At Katanox, we are building travel's growth engine. We provide financial and distribution infrastructure for the hospitality industry so accommodation suppliers and travel buyers can manage payments, reconciliation, direct contracting, and connectivity on one unified platform. Our purpose is to remove the complexity and fragmentation of hospitality by bringing multiple business operations for hotels and travel buyers together into a single workflow, from bookings to payments. We are headquartered in Amsterdam with hubs in London and New York, and are a fast-growing, well-funded company building the next generation of infrastructure for hospitality. A cornerstone of our culture is in-person collaboration. We follow a "hub" model with unique hubs in Amsterdam, London, and New York, where we regularly collaborate face-to-face, onboard customers and colleagues, hold design sessions, and host events. We do not hire for strictly remote roles. We expect people to spend meaningful time in our hubs because this is how we maintain our culture, build trust, and move quickly together. As a financially regulated company, we are held to exceptionally high compliance standards. This demands a rigorous approach to collaboration, security, and decision-making. At Katanox, our values are the blueprint for how we work together and build our product. * Team over the individual, no ego We put the success of the whole team ahead of individual agendas. We win together, share credit, and leave egos at the door. * Data beats excitement We welcome bold ideas, but we commit based on evidence. We use data, experimentation, and clear hypotheses to decide what to build. * Dare to do We are proactive, take smart risks, and move from talking to doing. We learn by shipping and improve through iteration. * See it, own it, and close it When we spot a problem or opportunity, we take responsibility to drive it to completion instead of assuming someone else will. * We apply radical candor We care personally and challenge directly. We give and receive honest feedback so we can grow faster as individuals and as a team. * In person first, call second We prioritise in-person collaboration in our hubs to build trust, move quickly, and solve hard problems together. * Build collaboratively We actively involve the right people, share context early, and co-create solutions across teams and disciplines. * Iterate fast and pragmatically We ship small, learn quickly, and avoid over-engineering. We focus on solutions that work in reality, not just in theory.
