Senior Backend Engineer - Stability team (America)

Booqable prides itself on being a global company with team members working together from across the world. We are remote-first, so you can join us as an experienced Backend Engineer on our product team from wherever you are.

This is Booqable

Booqable was founded in 2014 as a rental software designed to help small to medium-sized rental businesses to succeed. From humble beginnings, we have grown to become one of the industry’s leading software providers and have won many awards from software review sites like Capterra.

We are a quickly growing company that is always looking for new people to join our team to help us achieve our goals. We aim to create innovative solutions to the unique challenges that face rental companies as more and more transition to online bookings and management.

There are three products that make up Booqable: A backend where users can manage everything from products to payments, an online store builder that allows users to build a complete rental website with everything they need, and a mobile app that acts as a companion from managing and processing orders for iOS and Android.

• No excessive management structures
• Responsible for your own work
