About the role

Why Booko?

Booko gives every service business the revenue superpowers that, until now, only the largest companies in the world could afford.

Every hour that goes unsold converts to zero. Uber, airlines and hotels solved this with a hundred math PhDs figuring out demand and pricing. The rest of the service economy - fitness studios, med-spas, event and entertainment venues, salons, tours, anything you can book - has the same problem. They just haven't had the hundred math PhDs.

AI collapsed that cost. Booko embeds into the systems a business already runs on, builds a superintelligent brain around its demand, and deploys that intelligence across the business - dynamic pricing first, then marketing, staffing, and scheduling. It runs quietly in the background like a revenue team they never had.

You used to need a hundred math PhDs. Now you don't.

Role Overview:

You will own large parts of the product from idea to production. That includes the pricing console venue operators use, integrations with the systems they already run, and the workflows that turn forecasts into real pricing decisions.

This is a high-agency role. You will talk to customers, make product calls, write the code, ship it, and own the result.

What You’ll Do:

  • Build and own full-stack product surfaces end to end
  • Ship integrations into booking, ticketing, and venue systems
  • Turn messy customer problems into reliable software
  • Work across product, data, infrastructure, and customer deployment
  • Help shape the engineering culture and roadmap as an early hire

What You Have:

  • Strong generalist engineering
  • Comfort with customers
  • Sharp product judgment
  • Strong appetite for ownership
  • Excited to work in person with a small, ambitious team in the Bay Area

What we offer:

  • Competitive, top-of-market salary
  • Equity with real upside - you're joining early, and your equity reflects that
  • Relocation support to San Francisco
  • M5 Pro MacBook Pro and whatever else you need
  • All meals covered (coffee, lunch, dinner, snacks)
  • Regular team offsites
