ResortPass
About ResortPass
ResortPass is redefining what it means to be a hotel guest. We give people daytime access to pools, beaches, spas, cabanas, and other hotel experiences without an overnight stay.
We work with more than 2,700 hotel partners across 30 countries. We have served more than 7 million guests and generated hundreds of millions of dollars for our hotel partners. Marriott has signed a global agreement with ResortPass, and Hilton has expanded its partnership with us.
We have proven the demand. Now we are building the booking and distribution platform that can bring hotel experiences to many more guests, categories, and channels.
Why this role matters
Most travel platforms are built around overnight rooms. ResortPass is building the platform for everything else a hotel can offer.
A day pass is sold by capacity. A cabana is reserved as a unit. A massage needs a time slot, provider, or room. Events have tickets. Food and beverage may be a product, an add-on, or part of a bundle. Each category has different rules for pricing, inventory, fulfillment, and cancellation.
We need one clear booking domain that supports these differences without creating a separate system for every category. That same inventory must be available through ResortPass, hotel systems, distribution partners, and authorized booking agents.
We are hiring a
Senior Software Engineer
to lead the technical work and be the primary hands-on builder for the ResortPass API. In your first year, multiple distribution partners and an authorized AI agent should complete real bookings through the same versioned API.
You will evolve a production Rails and Postgres booking system used by millions of guests. The hard work is keeping prices and inventory correct, preventing overselling, surviving retries and partial failures, and reconciling systems when they disagree.
Your ownership and team
You will own the API's day-to-day technical roadmap and design decisions. In this hands-on individual contributor role, you will write production code, lead focused designs, guide migrations, and operate what you build. You will partner with our Staff Engineer on foundational domain and architecture choices.
You will be the primary builder, but you will not work alone. Other backend engineers will contribute and build supply, PMS, and POS connectors using the patterns you establish. Product, Partnerships, and hotel operations will work with you from requirements through production launch.
This is one of our highest-impact technical bets. What you build will determine how quickly ResortPass can enter new booking channels and categories.
This role works from our NYC headquarters four days per week. The base salary range is $190,000–$210,000, plus equity, based on experience.
What you'll do
How we ship
We move quickly by building quality from the start. A change is done when it is tested, deployed, observable, and safe to roll back. We use AI tools aggressively, but engineers remain accountable for architecture, correctness, and production outcomes.

Who you are
We encourage candidates to apply even if they do not match every line below.
Ruby on Rails experience is useful, but not required. Experience with marketplaces, reservations, inventory-constrained commerce, public APIs, or third-party booking systems is also helpful. We care most about your backend judgment, track record, and ability to learn.
What success looks like in 6–12 months
As the API becomes a company-wide platform, this role can grow toward Staff through demonstrated impact across the booking domain, integrations, and distribution.
