Engineering Manager — Saltstayz

Build the engineering engine for one of India's fastest-moving hospitality brands.

About Saltstayz

Saltstayz is a boutique hotel brand running ~35 properties and ~1,000 keys across India in the midscale-economy segment, spanning four sub-brands — Autograph, Premier, Select, and Express. We're brand-led and tech-forward: our own direct booking platform, the Beyond loyalty program, the Sphere cashback engine, and SaltCore — a custom PMS we're building in-house to replace our vendor stack.

We're early, founder-led, and moving rapid, on a path toward ₹3,000 Cr by 2035 — roughly 13x growth in keys.

We're hiring an Engineering Manager / Lead to build the team, systems, and standards that carry us there.

What makes the problems hard

Booking reliability at scale — real-time inventory, pricing, and reservations flowing across our platform, OTAs, and a PMS, where one failed sync means a lost or overbooked room. You'll own making this bulletproof: idempotency, reconciliation, circuit breakers, and clean failure states.





A PMS from scratch — SaltCore is a 0-to-1 build of the core operational software 30+ properties run their day on.

A real integration surface — channel managers, payments, CRM, WhatsApp/email, loyalty and cashback ledgers, with many edge cases and places for state to drift.

New product bets — day-use inventory, dynamic pricing, CRS/lead tooling, HRMS.

What you'll own

The team — grow, mentor, and lead a small senior engineering team; set the hiring bar as we scale.

Delivery — run a tight sprint cadence and ship reliably against business priorities.

Technical direction — own architecture, code quality, and standards; make the build-vs-buy calls.

Reliability — keep the booking, payment, and PMS-critical paths up, with real SLAs.

The bridge — turn product and strategy direction into well-engineered, shipped reality.
