Alongside your team, you will leverage latest, modern SaaS and Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies across all layers of the software stack.

Inventory Team:

As the backbone of Cloudbeds' Central Reservations tribe, the Inventory team owns the logic behind hotel rates and availability—core systems that power everything from group bookings to rate plans to occupancy insights. We thrive on solving foundational, high-impact challenges at scale, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and thoughtful design.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, build, and deliver scalable, high-quality features

  • Champion engineering excellence by promoting best practices in code quality, architecture, and team processes

What Sets You Up for Success:

  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience using object-oriented principles in PHP

  • 2+ years of experience with one or more modern frameworks or ecosystems (e.g., Laravel, Symfony, or similar)

  • A strong business sense and ability to collaborate with leadership and non-technical stakeholders on highly visible projects

  • Expert knowledge of relational, indexing, and searching technologies, especially MySQL

  • A passion for data-informed development, including metrics, experimentation, and rapid prototyping

  • Strong knowledge and passion for software architecture, design patterns, and testing practices

  • Experience working with complex data structures and/or inventory cache system is a strong plus
