Platform Engineer for Payments

Launched in 2011, HotelTonight offers the world’s best mobile apps for booking hotels. We make it remarkably easy to book great hotels at amazing last-minute rates on your mobile device, for tonight, tomorrow and next week. When hotels have unsold rooms, they load them onto the app, which means incredible deals. We screen every hotel featured, and only work with ones you'll love.

A key part of making sure we have hotel partners who love to work with HotelTonight is providing them with the tools and information they need to make their decisions. You’ll get to build the platform working side-by-side with hotels to give them the tools to quickly and easily load rooms, guidance for pricing correctly, and compelling insights that ensure they come back everyday. This is a great opportunity for an engineer to build out payments infrastructure for one of the top mobile only e-commerce companies.
