Junior AI Automation Engineer

Company Overview

Holidu is one of the world’s fastest-growing vacation rental technology companies. Our mission is to make booking and hosting holiday homes free of doubt and full of joy, by helping hosts generate more bookings with less work and helping guests find a holiday home they truly enjoy. Our team of 700 colleagues from 60+ nations shares a passion for tech, an ambition for constant improvement, and a relentless drive to bring the best experience to more than 40k vacation rental hosts and 4 million annual guests.

About the Team

Welcome to AGE – our Agentic Experience Department. We’re building something that doesn’t exist yet at Holidu: a small squad that is part AI innovation lab, part automation factory, part internal consultancy. Think of us as the special ops of intelligent systems – we drop into any department, understand their pain, and leave behind AI-powered, self‑running solutions.

Our Playground

We’re not just automating tasks – we’re building the AI platform that transforms how Holidu operates. From LLM orchestration to intelligent agents that make decisions, from n8n workflows to custom AI solutions that learn and adapt.

The Hunt

• Track down manual and inefficient processes
• Sync with departments to understand their automation wishlist
• Build agentic workflows that feel like magic
• Connect systems that have never talked before

The Lab

• Experiment with cutting‑edge AI models and tools
• Create intelligent agents that actually understand context

The Impact

• Design automations that make 700+ colleagues more powerful
• Build solutions that scale from 10 to 10 million operations
• Break down complex business problems into automatable components
• Revolutionize how the entire company operates

The Collaboration

• Partner with Sales, Support, Finance, Marketing – everyone needs you
• Translate business problems into technical solutions
• Estimate ROI and decide what’s worth automating (not everything is!)
• Enable teams to eventually build their own automations
• Cloud Native: AWS‑first infrastructure with Kubernetes orchestration
• Your machine: Mac or Windows – you choose your tools
• Your customers: 700+ colleagues, each with processes begging for automation

Your role in this journey

We need someone who dreams in workflows and thinks in systems. You know that moment when elegant code eliminates hours of manual work? When a workflow you designed runs flawlessly at 3 AM while everyone sleeps? That’s the high we’re chasing. We need someone who sees inefficiency as a personal challenge and automation as an art form.

Holidu processes millions of bookings, manages 50k+ properties, and serves 100M+ users yearly.

Current state vs Future state

Current state: Too many humans doing robot work. Future state: Humans doing human work, robots doing robot work. Your job: Make it happen.

Manual work is dead. And you’re here to prove it.

Your backpack is filled with

• You’ve automated something just because you could (show us!)
• You dream in workflows and think in systems
• Manual processes cause you physical discomfort
• "That’s how we’ve always done it" activates your disruption mode
• You speak AI – you’ve paired with major LLMs to solve real problems
• You explain simply – you can make your colleague understand webhooks

Prove Your Powers
