Senior Frontend Developer | Team Lead

About the Company
We are Smartness, and we support small and medium-sized accommodation providers with solutions to help them fight back against the huge hotel chains. We started in 2020 by providing these companies with a dynamic pricing solution which increases revenue by on average 30%. Last year, we were named one of Italy’s top start-ups, and are the fastest growing B2B SaaS company in the accommodation space in both revenue and number of clients. Today we are working with over 4000 companies in over 20 countries, and steadily growing. Yet, this is only the start of our journey.

Beyond Smartpricing, we've launched a suite of products over the past few years that is growing by more than 10% month-over-month. Our goal is to become one of the leading global players in our industry.

We are the Smarties and our goal is to fully automate online operations for every lodging across the globe and become the number one SaaS in our category worldwide.

We develop a SaaS that, by leveraging machine learning algorithms, increases our clients' revenues by over 30% on average and helps owners get more direct bookings.

We have been the fastest-growing B2B SaaS in the lodging industry ever (compared to today's leading global players with valuations exceeding €500M.).
Last year, we were awarded as one of the top 10 LinkedIn startups in Italy.
We have already managed several billion euros in bookings for clients from more than 17 countries in just a few years of operation.
We have raised funds from top international investors like Partech.
