Build and operate Python backend services, APIs, and React frontends for a property-management platform. Use AI coding tools extensively for planning, implementation, reviews, testing, and evaluation. Own features end to end, integrate third-party platforms, maintain CI/CD and observability, support safe AWS releases, and collaborate with product and operations. Mentor teammates through code reviews and help establish effective AI-assisted engineering practices.
Monthly rate: USD 4,500–6,000/month contractor fee excl. VAT (≈ GEL 11,700–15,600)
Location: Fully remote from anywhere in Georgia
Team: Engineering (London + Kraków, GMT/CET hours)
Houst manages thousands of short-let homes in 20+ cities, from London and Lisbon to Auckland. Behind the scenes our platform does the heavy lifting: listing automation, 24/7 guest messaging, dynamic pricing, cleaning and maintenance scheduling, payouts, and integrations with Airbnb, Booking.com and dozens of other partners.
We are a small, senior engineering team, and we build with AI as a core part of the workflow, not a side experiment. Agents write and review code with us, docs are generated from source, and we measure the gains. We are hiring our first engineer in Georgia to extend that team.
The role
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with no direct reports. Python backend work comes first, React second. You will own features end to end, working directly with product, operations and growth. You will be expected to use AI tooling heavily and well: planning with it, generating and reviewing code with it, and knowing exactly when not to trust it.
What you will do- Design, build and ship backend services and APIs (Python 3, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis) and the React / React Native frontends they power
- Lead by example on AI-assisted development: agentic coding tools, prompt and context engineering, automated review, test generation, and the evaluation that proves they help
- Set and uphold the engineering bar: CI, peer review, automated testing, observability, safe releases on AWS
- Integrate with third-party platforms (Airbnb, booking channels, payments, messaging) and keep those integrations reliable
- Pair with product and ops to turn messy real-world hosting problems into shipped software
- Mentor through review and example; help the wider team adopt what works
Requirements
- 6+ years of professional software development, with deep hands-on Python and solid React; you are highly technical and still code every day
- Daily, serious use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar) in real production work, and clear opinions on where they help and where they hurt
- Strong API design, relational database and CI/CD experience (PostgreSQL, Docker, GitHub Actions or CircleCI, AWS)
- A track record of shipping and operating production systems: you have been paged, you have fixed it, you have made sure it does not happen again
- Fluent written and spoken English; you will work with a team in London and Kraków
- Based in Georgia and able to work as an independent contractor
- Experience building agentic workflows or LLM features into a product (tool use, evals, prompt caching, cost control)
- React Native, Elastic Stack, or proptech / travel / marketplace background
Benefits
- USD 4,500–6,000/month contractor fee excl. VAT (≈ GEL 11,700–15,600)
- Fully remote from anywhere in Georgia (Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi or elsewhere), with overlap to UK working hours
- Latest AI tooling paid for and expected to be used
- A direct line to the CEO and real influence over how a fast-growing proptech is built
- An international, collaborative team that values quality, speed and curiosity

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
