Description

About Booko:

Booko is dynamically pricing anything you can book. Airlines and hotels have priced by demand for decades. Gyms, studios, clinics and all time-slot based services are a massive slice of the economy that still charge one flat price and watch open slots perish. We fix that.

We integrate into the booking systems these businesses already run on forecast demand class by class and slot by slot, and move price and incentives in real time to fill inventory. We are live in production with some of the largest national fitness brands, boutique studios, clinics, and chains.

We are a small team that ships fast and stays unusually close to the work. Everyone here talks to customers, owns whole surfaces end to end, and cares about the outcome, not the ticket. We're hiring our founding engineering team and would love for you to be a part of it!

About the role

This is a high agency role for engineers who want to own how Booko lands with each customer. You'll take pilots from the first customer call to live in production, owning the integration, the data, and the result. You're the bridge between our engine and the messy reality of each customer's systems, and what you learn in the field directly shapes what we build. What you'll work on:

  • Building integrations against the systems customers already run on: ingestion, webhooks, attribution, and the data every pricing decision depends on
  • Taking pilots from kickoff to live: scoping with the customer, wiring up their systems, debugging in production, and feeding patterns back into the platform
  • Talking to businesses and end users and building bespoke solutions that can be re-packaged for the broader product

You'll be a good fit if

  • You're a strong generalist engineer and great with customers
  • You’re comfortable in real-world data and sometimes-messy APIs that never match the docs
  • You think in business outcomes and move fast in ambiguity
  • You want to be in person in SF or NYC with a tight, ambitious team
