We've got massive amounts of proprietary data and a whip smart engineering team from Google, Facebook, and the usual suspects. Software Engineers (multiple positions) Who you are: * Superstar coder, self-motivated, focused, and interested in making a big impact as an early employee of a fast-paced startup * BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or a related field * Passionate about travel What you’ll do: * Build upon Room 77’s first public product with powerful new features * Design algorithms to enable the world's fastest and most feature-rich travel search engine (primarily with C++, Javascript, PHP and Python) * Revolutionize the way people travel For all other positions and to learn a bit more about why you should work with us, check out our jobs page here: http://www.room77.com/jobs.html Engineers, hit us up at jobs+engw@room77.com. All other positions, try jobs@room77.com. Cool facts about Room 77 * We just secured a series B of $10M+. Hotel search and the lodging industry is ripe for disruption and we've got a unique product, proven technology, and a team that's been around the block a few times. * We launched February 2011 at the LAUNCH conference in SF and won Best Startup. We were also Audience Favorites at the Startup Showcase at Web 2.0. * We just inked our lease on the 3rd floor of a building one block off Castro in the heart of downtown Mountain view right below Tasty Labs (hi Tasty Labs!) * We're backed and advised by some serious heavyweights in the industry including the founder and ex-CEOs of Expedia and Hotwire as well as by technical wizards like Rasmus Lerdorf. * We are H1B friendly and relocation friendly. * We work hard but we respect healthy work life balances. We try to have fun together as well.
