About Us
At DIAMO, we're redefining revenue management for boutique hotels with AI-powered software built to drive up to 35% higher revenue. Our platform combines intelligent room pricing, performance marketing, and a high-converting booking engine—all tailored for independent hotels, B&Bs, inns, and hotel groups.
We're a fast-moving, product-led seed stage startup born from a carve-out of a Series C hospitality tech company, and we're looking for a Tech Lead to join us as a founding team member. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping both the product and the company.
What You'll Do
As Tech Lead, you’ll be both a hands-on builder and a technical leader, helping define our technology vision, scale our engineering team, and drive key business and product decisions. You’ll work closely with the founding team to build elegant, scalable solutions that directly impact our customers.
- Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of scalable full-stack features using ReactJS, NestJS, and TypeScript
- Architect and implement systems that handle large-scale data pipelines and AI-powered features, including LLM integration
- Collaborate with product and business leaders to shape technical strategy and influence the product roadmap
- Be a force multiplier—mentoring engineers, promoting engineering best practices, and fostering a strong team culture
- Own the quality of your team’s work, including code reviews, testing, and performance optimizations
- Balance short-term speed with long-term scalability and technical debt management
- Drive DevOps strategy and own infrastructure, deployment, and observability in our AWS cloud environment
- Hire, onboard, and grow a high-performing engineering team alongside company leadership
- Participate in leadership meetings and company-wide strategic decisions
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of professional software development experience, with recent experience in full-stack development
- Deep expertise in ReactJS, NestJS, and TypeScript
- Experience working with large language models (LLMs) or integrating AI/ML-driven features into customer-facing products
- Strong background in big data engineering, distributed systems, and modern data pipelines
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, ideally in AWS, including services like ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, and Athena
- Proficiency in DevOps practices, infrastructure as code (Terraform/CDK), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization (Docker)
- Skilled with REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven systems, and state management tools (e.g., Redux, Zustand)
- Solid understanding of relational and NoSQL databases
- Strong grasp of automated testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress) and testing culture
- Proven ability to lead engineering teams or projects in a startup or high-growth environment
- Excellent communicator who can translate technical decisions into business context
- Comfortable working in ambiguity, wearing multiple hats, and getting your hands dirty when needed
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
- Experience working with ClickHouse or other high-performance analytical databases
- Contributions to open-source projects or a strong portfolio of personal projects
- Domain experience in hospitality, travel tech, or SaaS platforms
Why Join DIAMO?
- Be a founding member of a company poised to transform a $1T global industry
- Build a category-defining product from the ground up
- Work alongside experienced startup operators and entrepreneurs
- Shape the culture, team, and tech stack as we scale
- Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package
- Remote-first culture with flexibility and autonomy
