A real product company, based in Tirana.
We are not an agency, not a consultancy, and not a venture-funded growth-at-all-costs experiment. HotelBee is a profitable, founder-led product company building software that hotels actually pay for and keep using. That changes everything about the kind of work you do here, fewer pitch decks, more shipped code; fewer "growth hacks", more real customer conversations.
Four ideas, held tightly.
We talk about these in interviews, in code reviews, and on bad days. They are not aspirational, they are how decisions get made when no one is watching.
Operators first
Every product decision starts with a real conversation with a real hotelier. No personas, no abstractions, no "the user".
Boringly reliable
Hotels run on our software 24/7. We optimise for predictable, calm software, never for clever or trendy.
Craft over quantity
We ship slowly and carefully, and we will throw away a feature rather than ship a half-done one. Every detail is on purpose.
Small team, big trust
You will own real surface area from day one. No layers, no committees. If you need to talk to the founder, they sit two desks away.
Things we actually offer.
No “free snacks” or “ping-pong table” theatre. The list below is what we genuinely fund, the kind of stuff that affects how you live and work.
Remote-friendly, Tirana-based
Most of the team is in Tirana, but we hire across Europe. Office attendance is voluntary, async-first communication is the default.
Real days off
28 days of paid leave + local holidays + the week between Christmas and New Year, fully closed. We do not glorify burnout.
Learning budget
€1,500/year per person for books, courses, conferences, equipment, anything that makes you better at your craft.
Health, properly
Private health insurance for you and your immediate family, plus a monthly mental-health stipend with no questions asked.
Real ownership
Stock options for every full-time hire. Vesting starts on day one. Quarterly all-hands financial transparency, you see the books.
Work-from-anywhere weeks
Twice a year, work from anywhere on Earth for a full month. Several teammates have done it from Bali, Lisbon, and Mexico City.
Four teams, one product.
We are deliberately small. Cross-functional pairs ship the actual work, these are just where people park their desks.
Engineering
14 peopleBackend, frontend, mobile, infra. We use TypeScript, Node, Postgres, Next.js, React Native, AWS. We ship daily, write tests, and stay on call for our own code.
Design & Product
6 peopleProduct, UX, brand, and content. We design slowly, prototype in code, and run weekly user sessions with real hoteliers.
Customer Success
10 peopleOnboarding, support, training and migration. The most important team in the company, they decide whether HotelBee feels good or bad to use.
Go-to-market
8 peopleSales, partnerships, marketing. A small team that wins by being honest and useful, not by running funnels and cold-call campaigns.

Four steps. No surprises.
We respect your time. Every stage has a clear purpose, a clear timeline, and a clear next step, written down.

Offer & references
A written offer within 48 hours of the final round. We will ask for two references, and we are happy to provide ours.
I joined HotelBee from a much larger company because I wanted to actually finish things. Two years in, I have shipped more meaningful features than in the previous five years combined, and the team genuinely talks to customers every week. It changed how I think about software.
The questions people ask before applying.
Honest answers about how we work, hire, and pay. If you have a question we have not covered, write to careers@hotelbee.co, a real human will reply.
- Both. The headquarters and roughly 60% of the team are in Tirana, but we have full-time teammates in Berlin, Lisbon, Milan, Pristina, Belgrade and Athens. For most engineering, design and customer-success roles we hire anywhere in the CET ±2 time-zone band. Sales and partnerships often have a region requirement (e.g. DACH or Mediterranean). Every job listing says clearly whether the role is remote, hybrid or on-site.
Software that changes a workday.
If something on this page resonated, we would love to talk, even if you are not sure yet whether it is the right move.
