OUR COMPANY
Life House is a software-enabled hotel brand, management, and technology company transforming hospitality management with a simple mission: make independent hotels easier to operate and more profitable. We do this by providing a singular solution that powers hotel operations from guest check-in to check-out and from reservations to finance operations. We have recently closed our Series C funding round and with our growing hotel management Software-as-a-Service business, we are looking for intelligent and resourceful people to join our team!
ROLE
At Life House, product designers design world-class solutions to the hospitality industry’s greatest challenges. With new hotels opening every month, our team is acutely focused on bringing brands to life and introducing thoughtful design to both the guest and staff experience while consistently improving our value proposition to hotel owners – increasing hotel revenue and decreased hotel operating costs.
Some examples of projects we have shipped:
- A branded web & mobile app that is not only reflective of our brands, but that enables guests to easily book, check-in, unlock their door, and connect with other travelers.
- A tablet and mobile app that efficiently guides our onsite teams through common workflows so that our team can spend less time behind a computer monitor and more time creating amazing experiences for our guests.
- A tablet app that functions as a kiosk, enabling guests to quickly and easily check-in and gain access to their room. Guests can drop their bags off and explore or visit the onsite bar after a long journey, without the typical hotel check-in hassle.
Our product feedback loop is immediate which means we can rapidly iterate and deploy. If you enjoy designing applications from the ground up, leveraging the newest technologies to delight users, and executing like an entrepreneur, then you’ve found the right place.
