Full-time · Based in Aarhus · Starting autumn 2026

Landfolk is looking for software engineers who care about product, craft, and how modern tools change the way good work gets done. You'll help build the platform behind Europe's most ambitious collection of premium holiday homes, from guest-facing flows and host tools to internal systems, integrations, and AI-enabled workflows.

About the Role

We're looking for engineers who care about what we are building, why it matters, and how technical choices shape the product experience. Not someone who only wants perfectly specced tickets and a clean board to pull from.

You might lean towards one or more of these areas:

• Frontend & product UX: guest and host-facing flows, UI craft, performance, accessibility (TypeScript, React, Next.js)

• Backend & product systems: domain logic, APIs, integrations, booking, listing, payments (Rails, GraphQL, PostgreSQL)

• Platform & data: infrastructure, reliability, observability, warehouse, developer experience (Nix, Terraform, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana)

• AI workflows & internal tools: agents, automations, reports, and tools that remove manual work for the team

You should see yourself in at least one, and it's fine to overlap two or three. The common thread is how you work: curious, practical, fast-learning, strong with tools, and starting to think in agents, orchestrating your work, not just writing code, without lowering the bar for what ships. You won't be judged by how many tickets you close or how much code you generate. The bar is whether the work makes the product, the system, and the team better.

You'll work close to product, design, operations, and the people who use what we build. Some problems are visible in the guest booking experience. Some live inside our internal admin system. Some are buried in integrations, pricing, availability, payments, data, or workflows that help the team move faster.

AI is already part of how Landfolk works across the company, and that is only accelerating. We are interested in engineers who have real habits and judgment around AI agents and modern developer tools, not because we want more code for its own sake, but because we want to learn faster, verify better, and ship higher-quality product work. You'll work alongside Pax, our internal AI agent and coding harness, a real part of how the team operates day to day, not just a tool you're allowed to reach for. Pax is something we all build together, so you'll be part of shaping it, not just using it.

What You'll Actually Do

Your work could include:

• Build polished guest, host, service provider and internal product experiences

• Work across the full platform and learn the parts you don't know yet

• Work directly with operations, community, support, and supply teams to find and fix real workflow pain

• Turn ambiguous product problems into simple, shippable solutions

• Improve flows that matter commercially, operationally, and emotionally to guests and hosts

• Use AI agents and modern tools to explore code, prototype, test, review, and ship better work

• Make pragmatic technical tradeoffs without creating future mess for the team

• Care about loading states, edge cases, accessibility, performance, observability, and maintainability

• Improve internal tools and workflows so Landfolk can operate with more leverage

About You

You have built real things for real people and can explain the tradeoffs behind them.

You care about product quality. You notice when a flow technically works but still feels wrong. You care about details, but you also know when to stop polishing and ship.

You are comfortable in existing codebases. You can read before rewriting, follow patterns before inventing new ones, and improve the system without needing everything rebuilt from scratch.

You have strong engineering fundamentals. You can reason about data flow, state, APIs, testing, performance, failure modes, and maintainability. You do not need to know our stack already, but you should be able to learn it quickly.

You use AI in your daily work. That might mean agents in your editor, custom scripts, research workflows, code review support, debugging loops, test generation, planning, or documentation. We care less about how fancy the setup looks and more about whether it actually makes you better, and a healthy skepticism of hype is part of getting that right.

Most importantly, you have taste. You know the difference between code that passes, code that ships, and code that should exist in the product for years.

We hire across levels — you can see the full framework here. For this round we're primarily looking for engineers at L3 to L5, though we're open to L2 if you've built exceptional things and have strong AI habits.

Working at Landfolk

We work hybrid from our beautiful office in Aarhus. You'll have flexibility to work from home some days, but we're Aarhus-first for now: we want to build the remote onboarding muscle properly before we broaden. We believe the best products come from teams that actually work together.

You'll join a low-distraction work environment with real ownership and great colleagues across tech, product, design, community, operations, and communication.

The Practical Stuff

This is a full-time hybrid position. Aarhus presence matters because we build better when engineers, product, design, and the business spend real time together. The exact setup depends on the person and the role shape.

We want to see how you think, not a portfolio. Most working engineers can't share code from previous jobs, and we don't expect you to. We'll talk about real work you've shipped in the interview instead.

A few things will help us get to know you. Include what you can:

• Thoughts on how you use AI in your daily work: where it helps, where it gets in the way, and how you think engineering teams should adapt

• A few paragraphs on why Landfolk's product and engineering challenge interests you

If you have something you've built that you can share, we'd love to see it, but it's not required.

We're not looking for the perfect CV. We're looking for builders with judgment, curiosity, craft, and real habits around using modern tools well.

Landfolk helps people search for the exceptional and find the unforgettable. We're building Europe's most ambitious platform for premium holiday homes, and we need engineers who can help make it better without making it more complicated.

If you have any questions about the practical aspects of the role, don’t hesitate to contact Stine Svane, HR Coordinator, until 16 July at stine.svane@landfolk.com or on +45 3036 1920.

We'll review applications and interview candidates on a rolling basis, so we'd encourage you to apply sooner rather than later.

Applying with an AI agent

If you use a coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, or similar), we'd love to see how you work with it. Point your agent at our human-agent interview skill and attach the markdown file it produces to your application. It's optional, not required, but it's the clearest way to show us how you actually work with AI.
