Come and build Guest Talk with us.
Twenty-two people today, likely thirty-five by the end of 2027. We hire senior, we hire embedded with the customer, and we hire slowly. Every role listed below is genuinely open and staffed by a hiring manager on the team.
Open roles
Senior Backend Engineer — Reservations
Lisbon or fully remote (EU). Own the reservations service — schema, invariants, tape-chart writes. Rust or Elixir preferred; production PMS experience is not required but is a bonus.
Apply by emailFrontend Engineer — Reception App
Lisbon or fully remote (EU). Ship the reception app used by 214 properties every day. TypeScript + Astro + light server work. Design-adjacent role — a good eye is more valuable than a framework preference.
Apply by emailProduct Manager — Guest Messaging
Lisbon. Own the WhatsApp/email/SMS surface end to end. Ideal candidate has run a reception team or built a messaging product for hospitality.
Apply by emailCustomer Success Manager (Portuguese + Spanish)
Lisbon, hybrid. Named CSM for 20-30 Business and Enterprise properties across Iberia. Hospitality background required.
Apply by emailOnboarding Engineer
Porto or Lisbon. Bridge role — technical enough to run PMS migrations, hospitality-literate enough to talk to a general manager on day one.
Apply by emailHead of Revenue Advisory
Lisbon or Porto. Build and lead the Talkguest revenue-advisory practice — a small paid service delivered to Enterprise customers who want an outside eye on pace and mix.
Apply by emailSite Reliability Engineer
Fully remote (EU). Own the observability, on-call, and incident-response practice. AWS-native platform, deep Postgres knowledge welcomed.
Apply by emailContent Lead — Portuguese & English

The hiring process
For engineering roles: two 45-minute conversations (hiring manager, peer), a paid take-home exercise scoped to about half a day, and a final panel. We aim to make an offer within three weeks of the first conversation.
For product, customer and advisory roles: three 45-minute conversations (hiring manager, product/customer lead, founder), and a work-sample presentation to the team. Same three-week target.
Every candidate hears back within a week — including a no — with a specific reason. We think that's the minimum standard.
