Automated check-in and guest management for hotels and vacation rentals
Chekin automates the check-in workflow for hospitality operators, built on Python + Django + PostgreSQL + RabbitMQ running on Kubernetes/AWS. The stack reflects a mature, scalable backend engineered for high-volume guest transactions. Current projects — AI-powered concierge, automated guest flows, predictive upselling — signal a shift from operational automation toward revenue-driving guest intelligence, while hiring velocity is accelerating with mid-to-senior engineering and sales roles.
Chekin provides check-in automation and digital guest experience software for hotels and vacation rental managers. The platform covers the full guest lifecycle: registration, identification, legal compliance (guest-to-police reporting), remote access, deposits, and upselling. The company operates at significant scale — over 200,000 properties worldwide use the platform. Engineering is distributed across Bulgaria and Spain, with active hiring in both engineering and sales roles.
Python, Django, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS infrastructure. Frontend uses React and TypeScript. Testing relies on Pytest and Cypress.
