As a Senior Fullstack Engineer on the Distribution Team, you'll be instrumental in developing and enhancing the products that connect Cloudbeds' ecosystem to the world's largest distribution channels. You'll architect scalable solutions using modern technologies, contribute to our microservices migration, and ensure our platform delivers exceptional performance and security for thousands of properties worldwide. Your work will directly impact how hotels reach guests through integrations with major platforms like Booking.com, AirBnb and beyond.

Our Distribution Team:

We're the bridge connecting properties to the global travel ecosystem. Our team tackles complex integration challenges that directly impact revenue for thousands of hotels worldwide, from building rock-solid connections with major OTAs to ensuring every booking flows seamlessly and securely. We balance innovation with pragmatism: migrating legacy systems to modern microservices while maintaining the reliability our customers depend on. If you thrive on solving hard technical problems with real business impact and love the challenge of both building greenfield features and refactoring legacy code, you'll feel right at home here.

What You Bring to the Team:

• Design and implement robust backend features and improvements using PHP, with a strong focus on performance optimization and scalability for our distribution platform
• Build intuitive frontend experiences using React and Vue, ensuring seamless user interactions across the Cloudbeds ecosystem
• Architect secure solutions for handling financial transactions and sensitive personal data, applying security best practices throughout the development lifecycle
• Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code with comprehensive test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end) to maintain high quality standards
• Lead technical discussions on complex concepts and requirements with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, driving alignment on backend and frontend architecture decisions
• Contribute to our ongoing initiative to migrate core platform components into microservices, helping shape the long-term technical vision
• Re-architect and refactor existing legacy systems to align with modern standards and project requirements, demonstrating ownership and commitment to continuous improvement
• Mentor team members through pair programming and code reviews, promoting best practices that elevate code quality and team processes
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan, build, and ship high-quality features that delight our global customer base

What Sets You Up for Success:

• 5+ years of PHP web application software engineering experience
• 5+ years of experience with JS frameworks, Vue.js and React are preferred
• Solid experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript
• Strong hands-on experience with Docker and containerized development workflows
• Demonstrated expertise in performance optimization and expert knowledge of relational databases, indexing, and searching technologies
• Strong understanding of security considerations, particularly for applications handling financial transactions and personal data
• Experience with test automation across all levels (unit, integration, end-to-end) and a passion for quality-driven development
• Proven track record of taking ownership of projects and delivering results independently
• Business-level English fluency (verbal and written) and excellent communication skills for collaborating across a globally distributed, remote-first team

Bonus Skills to Stand Out:

• Experience designing and building microservices and/or micro-frontends
• Hands-on experience with PHP frameworks (CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Laravel, Symfony)
• Cloud and infrastructure experience with Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and Argo CD
• Experience working with event-driven architectures and messaging systems (e.g., Kafka)

Compensation: Depending on your skills and experience, you can expect your annual compensation to be between $145,000 - $165,000

At Champion, we believe that the biggest growth catalyst doesn't lie outside, but within. It's not about more, but about untapping the potential from opportunity that already exists — from within your champions and yourself. As a product and a company, we're set on creating deeper partnerships with organizations and their champions so every person can do more, together.

Who We Are Looking For

As an early-stage startup, you will be part of the starting lineup — and at this level, you'll help define it.

We're looking for a seasoned Senior or Principal Engineer who brings deep technical expertise, strong architectural instincts, and the leadership presence to raise the bar across the entire engineering organization. You'll be a driving force behind our product, shaping both the technical vision and the culture of the team. We have great momentum with our initial product and a growing customer base — now we need someone who can help us scale intelligently and build for what's next.

What You'll Do

• Architect and lead the design of scalable, high-performance systems across our full stack using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and React
• Drive technical strategy — evaluate tradeoffs, establish patterns, and make foundational decisions that will shape the platform for years to come
• Own complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end, from discovery through delivery, with minimal direction
• Design and build data infrastructure — data pipelines, warehousing solutions, and the data models that power product analytics and customer insights
• Develop and integrate ML-powered features where applicable, including model evaluation, feature engineering, and productionizing models at scale (strong plus)
• Mentor and grow engineers at all levels through code reviews, design discussions, and technical guidance
• Partner cross-functionally with Product and Design to refine roadmap items into well-scoped, high-impact work
• Leverage AI-powered developer tooling (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and set a standard for how the team integrates these tools into everyday workflows
• Champion (pun intended) extensible, secure, and observable software patterns across the organization

What You'll Need

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of leading technical initiatives on high-performing teams
• Deep proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vu, and/or Python; strong ability to ramp quickly on new technologies as the stack evolves
• Demonstrated experience architecting and operating distributed systems, microservices, and REST APIs at scale
• Strong hands-on experience with Cloud platforms (AWS or Google Cloud), including infrastructure design and cost-conscious scaling
• Advanced SQL proficiency and experience with relational database design, query optimization, and schema evolution
• Experience with data warehousing and data pipeline development (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow) — strong plus
• Exposure to machine learning workflows — feature engineering, model serving, or MLOps — in a production environment (strong plus)
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders in a remote-first environment
• A strong testing discipline, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing strategies

Additional Information

• $140k – $180k annual salary based on experience
• Comprehensive benefits, including healthcare, dental, and vision coverage for employees
• Meaningful equity grants
• Monthly equipment stipend to cover laptop, monitor, and any software or equipment you may need
• Hybrid or fully remote position
  • Local team members (preferred) come into the office approximately 2x per week (flexible)
  • Remote team members travel to the office approximately 2–4x per year for training, corporate events, or other business needs
