Lead Technology That Shapes How Guests Experience Travel
At TFE Hotels weâre building seamless digital journeys that start long before a guest checks in and continue well after they leave. Weâre looking for a Tech Lead to own and evolve the digital platforms that power our guest experience and marketing ecosystem â from websites and booking flows to loyalty and personalised engagement.
This is a hands-on leadership role: youâll architect solutions, write production-quality code, and mentor a small but high-impact engineering team while influencing how we connect with millions of guests across the globe.
What Youâll Make Happen
Shape and deliver integrated guest-facing web experiences â from brand websites and booking journeys to loyalty and personalised campaigns.
Design \& build scalable, high-performing solutions using Python, React/JavaScript, PHP and modern APIs.
Lead cloud architecture \& DevOps (AWS/Azure), including CI/CD pipelines, microservices and security best practices.
Own data integration between our marketing stack (CDP, loyalty, analytics) and guest platforms to drive personalisation and performance.
Mentor and grow developers while fostering technical excellence, agile delivery, and a collaborative product-first culture.
Partner with Product, UX, and Marketing leaders to translate ideas into robust digital experiences that move key metrics (conversion, engagement, loyalty).
What Weâre Looking For
7+ years in modern software development, including 2+ years in a technical lead or senior engineering role.
Strong with Python, React/JavaScript, RESTful APIs, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), and CI/CD pipelines.
Solid grasp of data privacy \& security (GDPR, data governance).
Comfortable working across CMS, web frameworks, and marketing tech integrations.
Natural mentor and communicator â able to influence stakeholders and ship quality products on time.
Why This Role Is Different
End-to-end ownership: Youâre not one layer in a giant tech org â youâll shape the whole guest marketing stack and see your work live across 70+ hotels in 40+ cities across the globe.
Impact at scale: Help define how a global hotel group engages millions of travellers while we expand into new brands and markets.
Support to grow: We invest in your development through learning platforms, mentoring, and career progression opportunities.
Life at TFE: Flexible working, global accommodation discounts, and extra leave options (Life Leave, Birthday Leave, Study Leave).
Purpose \& culture: Be part of a company thatâs reinventing what hospitality tech can be â entrepreneurial, guest-obsessed, and people-first.
