Software Engineer

About the Role                        

 Scarlet Connect is hiring a Software Engineer to help build and scale our  

 guest experience platform end-to-end — from the automations that power our

 hotel integrations, to the backend APIs and customer-facing dashboards   

 built on top of them.                   

 You'll work across the full stack: Python services, Node.js APIs, Angular  

 frontends, MongoDB, and AWS infrastructure. A significant part of the role

 is owning our automation and integration layer — building reliable browser 

 automations and RPA workflows for platforms where APIs are limited,

 inconsistent, or nonexistent. This work requires navigating complex

 authentication, adapting to constantly changing interfaces, and designing

 systems that hold up over time.

 This isn't a narrow role. We have room across infrastructure, backend    

 services, frontend features, system design, and AI-driven product work —

 you'll have the opportunity to grow into whichever parts of the stack    

 interest you most based on your strengths and where the team needs the most

  leverage.

What You'll Do

 - Build and maintain browser automations (Playwright / Python / RPA) that  

 read and post data across external hotel and review platforms

 - Develop backend services and REST APIs (Python and Node.js) that power  

 our internal tools and customer dashboards         

 - Contribute features and fixes to our Angular frontend applications

 - Design and operate AWS infrastructure (ECS, EC2, Elastic Beanstalk,    

 Lambda, S3, Secrets Manager, IAM)                      

 - Navigate complex authentication flows (SSO, OAuth, SAML, TOTP, session  

 handling) for both our own services and external integrations        

 - Design resilient systems that handle UI changes, retries, network

 failures, and rate limits gracefully                    

 - Integrate CAPTCHA solving and proxy strategies for automation reliability

  at scale                                  

 - Build OCR pipelines to extract structured data from PDFs and images

 - Build and maintain UiPath workflows for desktop-based automations     

 - Diagnose and fix broken automations quickly as external platforms evolve

 - Integrate with LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) to add intelligence to our

  automation and review-response pipelines         

 - Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) aggressively to 

 move fast and reduce manual effort                     

 What You Bring                               

 - 2+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping and   

 maintaining production systems

 - Strong Python skills (async patterns, data parsing, scripting)      

 - Experience with at least one backend framework (Flask, FastAPI, Express, 

 etc.) and writing REST APIs

 - Familiarity with a modern frontend framework (Angular, React, or Vue) and

  willingness to contribute on the UI when needed              

 - Working knowledge of MongoDB or another database (SQL or NoSQL)

 - Hands-on AWS experience (S3, ECS, EC2, Lambda, IAM, or similar)      

 - Solid understanding of authentication flows (OAuth, SAML, MFA/TOTP)    

 - Comfortable diagnosing flaky distributed systems — log analysis, network 

 debugging, root-causing failures across service boundaries         

 - Comfortable using AI coding tools to accelerate development

 - Ability to work independently and solve ambiguous, open-ended problems  

 Especially Valuable for the Automation Side

 - 1+ years of experience building or maintaining browser automation /    

 scraping systems (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium)

 - UiPath or other RPA experience                      

 - OCR experience (OpenCV, Tesseract, PyMuPDF)       

 - Experience designing automation systems against external dependencies   

 that change frequently — selectors break, auth flows shift, rate limits   

 appear                                   

 - Experience integrating with LLM APIs in production
