About Host:
Host is building the future of hospitality technology.
We’re creating a modern, unified platform that brings together property management, payments, and the entire guest journey into one seamless system—replacing the fragmented, outdated tools that hotels have had to rely on for years. Our mission is simple: help hotels run better, move faster, and deliver exceptional guest experiences at every touchpoint.
But what really sets Host apart is the stage we’re at.
We’re growing fast, solving real-world problems for leading hotel groups, and building technology that sits at the heart of how hospitality businesses operate every single day.

We’re looking for exceptional people who care deeply about quality, ownership, and impact.
At Host, you won’t get lost in layers of bureaucracy. You’ll have autonomy, responsibility, and the chance to make a visible difference from day one. We value people who think critically, move with urgency, and take pride in doing things properly. We’re building something ambitious and we’re looking for people who want to build it with us.
