We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to support the development and continued improvement of the Joaia product experience, with a focus on our React Native mobile application and our React web application. Our app is live with real travelers and now needs refinement - smoother flows, stronger performance, and a mobile experience that makes AI local guides feel intuitive and alive. Alongside it, our web app Guide Studio lets business customers create and analyze local guides and is ready for the next stage of development. You will work closely with Roger, our CTO & co-founder, as well as Product and AI Engineering. Your focus will be on the implementation of all layers of the products: building user-facing features and the backend, connecting AI systems, improving architecture, and helping us ship faster without losing quality. This is a role for someone who enjoys building real products, not only writing isolated code. You should care about the user experience, understand technical trade-offs, and be comfortable working in a small team where priorities can change quickly and ownership matters. We are not looking for a pure researcher or someone who only wants to work on backend infrastructure. We are looking for a hands-on product engineer with strong React / React Native experience, solid full-stack understanding, and curiosity for AI-powered products.
Holoai Ltd. is an AI startup founded in 2024, building with Joaia at the frontier of travel and discovery. We give tourism destinations across Europe the tools to unlock their local knowledge and turn it into agentic AI guides that reason, remember, and adapt. Destinations build and own their guides themselves. Travelers get something that didn't exist before. Imagine a guide that knows every hidden bar in Zurich's alternative scene, a Roman merchant who brings the ancient origins of Chur to life, or a carnival insider who walks you through Basel's Fasnacht tradition with the depth of someone who has lived it for decades. Each guide has its own personality, its own knowledge domain, its own way of telling a story. They can be fictional characters, digital twins of historical figures, local experts, or thematic specialists. The possibilities are just beginning to open up. We work with destinations like Zurich Tourism, Basel Tourism, Lucerne Tourism, Graubünden Ferien, and more are joining every month. We are a small, focused team on a mission to make the world's local knowledge accessible to every traveler, so that anyone, anywhere, can discover a place with the depth and curiosity it deserves. If that mission excites you, come build it with us.
