Original posting
Tablet Hotels | New York, NY | Onsite | Fulltime | Salary + Equity | Backend Engineer Lead & iOS Lead
Our stack: Python 2.7/Flask, MySQL/SQLAlchemy, Unix/FreeBSD, Objective-C, Swift
Tablet (www.tablethotels.com/en/careers) was founded in the year 2000 by Laurent Vernhes and Michael Davis, a pair of new-media veterans in search of a cure for boring travel and an antidote to the internet’s most common affliction: an overdose of options. Our users trust our taste — we do the hard work of selecting only the most extraordinary hotels, and we make booking them as painless as it can be. Sixteen years on, Tablet is still growing fast, and for that we credit three things: a mission with resonance, a lot of hard work, and — perhaps most important — an extremely talented team. Our New York office doubled in size in 2011, and we’re not done expanding yet.
On the mobile front, we’ve recently launched version one (ecommerce platform) of our first iOS app and building out version two (social platform). On the backend, we’re tackling a third party integration which will more than double our inventory and it requires our SOA become fully distributed, an elimination of technical debt, cloud migration, and frontend redesign. We’re seeing more traffic and bookings than ever before and gearing up for an influx of traffic and users while venturing into new territory like personalization/recommendations.
