At Amenitiz, we’re on a mission to simplify hospitality management, whether it's in the bustling streets of Paris or the serene Uyuni Salt Flats of Bolivia.

Empowering over 12,000 hoteliers worldwide, we’re more than just another SaaS scale-up—we’re revolutionizing one of the world’s oldest industries. With over $50 million raised from top-tier VCs who back disruptive giants like Alibaba, Toast, Zendesk, Delivery Hero, Revolut, and Loom, we've been recognized as a TravelTech Titan and one of Wired's hottest start-ups.

Our team, nearly 320 strong, based in beautiful Barcelona. At Amenitiz, we cultivate a culture of positivity and personal growth. Our team members are enthusiastic, thrive on ownership, and excel in collaboration. Every day, we lead by example, prioritizing client satisfaction and executing with excellence. We are committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.

About the role

Amenitiz is building the all-in-one operating system for independent hoteliers across Europe — and we’re growing fast. With thousands of customers, a robust product, and a talented team, we’re ready for the next stage of scale. But with growth comes complexity.

Our current Ruby-based monolith has served us well, but to support long-term innovation and scalability, we’re transitioning to a modular, API-first architecture. This is where you come in.

As VP of Engineering, you will lead our engineering organisation through this pivotal transformation — driving technical excellence, aligning with business goals, and building a high-performing, product-focused engineering culture. You'll partner closely with Product and Design to ensure our technology unlocks incredible experiences for our 14,000+ customers.

You’ll own the technical vision, lead a team of 40 engineers, and act as both a strategic leader and a hands-on coach as we build Amenitiz for the future.

Backed by investors like Eight Roads, Point Nine, Chalfen Ventures, Backed, and Otium Capital, and with a $30 million Series A under our belt, we’re scaling our hotelier portfolio and diving deep into each of our five main markets. More than anything, we’re having a ton of fun while creating impact and learning along the way.
