Trusted by leading hotel groups across the U.S., Lance supports 50+ hotels with brands like Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt.

The role
As a Product Engineer, you'll own features end to end: talk to hotel operators, scope the problem, and ship production code across our agent platform and hotel OS. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO in a small, fast, in-person team.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and ship full-stack product features used daily by hotel staff and guests
- Build and improve AI agent workflows (voice/call handling, workflow automation, integrations with hotel systems)
- Turn customer feedback into product decisions and iterate quickly
- Own quality, reliability, and performance of what you ship
What we're looking for
- Degree (or graduating soon) in CS, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Strong programming fundamentals; experience building real projects (internships, startups, open source, hackathons)
- Product sense and comfort talking directly to users
- Interest in AI/LLM applications; hospitality or SaaS experience is a plus
- Excited to work in person in San Francisco at an intense early-stage pace
