Senior Software Engineer, Python/React, AI-assisted development

Houst

3d • $4,500 - $6,000 • Remote

About The Position

Houst manages thousands of short-let homes in 20+ cities. Behind the scenes our platform does the heavy lifting: listing automation, 24/7 guest messaging, dynamic pricing, cleaning and maintenance scheduling, payouts, and integrations with Airbnb, Booking.com and dozens of other partners. We are a small, senior engineering team, and we build with AI as a core part of the workflow, not a side experiment. Agents write and review code with us, docs are generated from source, and we measure the gains. We are hiring our first engineer in Georgia to extend that team.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software development, with deep hands-on Python and solid React; you are highly technical and still code every day
• Daily, serious use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar) in real production work, and clear opinions on where they help and where they hurt
• Strong API design, relational database and CI/CD experience (PostgreSQL, Docker, GitHub Actions or CircleCI, AWS)
• A track record of shipping and operating production systems: you have been paged, you have fixed it, you have made sure it does not happen again
• Fluent written and spoken English; you will work with a team in London and Kraków
• Based in Georgia and able to work as an independent contractor

Nice To Haves

• Experience building agentic workflows or LLM features into a product (tool use, evals, prompt caching, cost control)
• React Native, Elastic Stack, or proptech / travel / marketplace background

Responsibilities

• Design, build and ship backend services and APIs (Python 3, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis) and the React / React Native frontends they power
• Lead by example on AI-assisted development: agentic coding tools, prompt and context engineering, automated review, test generation, and the evaluation that proves they help
• Set and uphold the engineering bar: CI, peer review, automated testing, observability, safe releases on AWS
• Integrate with third-party platforms (Airbnb, booking channels, payments, messaging) and keep those integrations reliable
• Pair with product and ops to turn messy real-world hosting problems into shipped software
• Mentor through review and example; help the wider team adopt what works

Benefits

• Latest AI tooling paid for and expected to be used
• A direct line to the CTO and real influence over how a fast-growing proptech is built
• An international, collaborative team that values quality, speed and curiosity
