From adventure travel and backpacking to honeymoons and family vacations, we deeply care so that every traveller can make the best-informed accommodation choice at the absolute best conditions for every trip.

You will be joining our Content and Mapping squad part of the Meta Platform Tribe. You will work closely with other POs using your product, the tribe leader and the Head of Engineering. You will have a leading role in shaping the property and content mapping product. This product is in the core of any accommodation that we serve on findhotel.net. Hence, you have the opportunity to make significant impact. Lastly, you will be actively engaging with your squad to ensure that the focus is on the product capabilities that deliver most value to our customers. Together you will be solving complex mapping problems building the best accommodation inventory in the industry.
Are you interested in the tech stack? We use Go, Python, AWS (Step functions, lambda functions, S3, EC2, Snowflake, and more.) We are building a solid mapping and content merging pipelines. We have tons of unanswered questions and opportunities to enhance the existing services and build new ones.

- Own our content and mapping services end-to-end.
- Working with the rest of the business and the leadership team to understand requirements and set our priorities, to successfully own and define the product strategy and roadmap.
- Own the content services backlog and its execution.
- You help to discover new features, define enhancements, write requirements, prioritise and lead the squad with clear and well-articulated “what”.

What a day in the office might look like
For product owners at findhotel.net no two days are alike. However, this is what an “average” day would look like.
You’ll start your day staring at a dashboard full of metrics and KPIs related to your squad accompanied by a cup of coffee from our highly curated coffee provider. Given that everything is OK and you are satisfied with what you see, you’ll jump on the squad’s daily standup where you’ll sync on the progress. Following up on the items that turned up in the daily standup, you’ll spend some time with your squad members to help them progress and if necessary – “unlock” them.
Before launch, you’ll participate in a meeting, either with all the stakeholders as part of the weekly routine or with other POs and colleagues to sync on the latest cross-company initiative that you’re leading.
After a good lunch, delivered from a different restaurant every day, you’ll spend some time discovering new opportunities with the content we have in our possession. Maybe you will even play with some SQL to discover data you need to make a decision in our data lake. You will be planning your squad’s future endeavours, whether it’s aligning the roadmap, working with Data Analysts or writing detailed requirements.
Who we are looking for / requirements
- You have BSc or MSc in Computer Science or a technical field.
- You have experience working as a product owner, or similar, in high performing teams that have built and deployed large scale services.

- You know how to inspire, motivate and support a team to get things done.
