Software Engineer II, RVC

Storable is seeking a Software Engineer II to join our RV & Camping (RVC) Division and help build the Newbook Websites product, the software behind the customer-facing, booking-enabled websites that RV parks, campgrounds, holiday parks, and other outdoor hospitality businesses use to showcase their properties and take reservations online. Our Newbook platform supports the workflows operators rely on to manage sites and accommodation, reservations and online bookings, guest and vehicle records, point of sale, payments and billing, digital waivers and agreements, housekeeping and maintenance, reporting, and other industry-specific needs. The Websites product is WordPress-based and integrates closely with the broader Newbook platform, so hands-on WordPress experience is required for this role.

We are looking for an engineer with solid software engineering fundamentals, hands-on experience building and maintaining production WordPress systems, and a demonstrated ability to use AI as a core part of their engineering workflow. The ideal candidate uses AI coding tools as a meaningful part of their day-to-day work. They understand how to apply them thoughtfully across the software development lifecycle: exploring unfamiliar code, accelerating implementation, generating and refining tests, debugging issues, weighing implementation options, improving documentation, and reducing repetitive engineering work. Just as importantly, they know how to review AI-generated output with sound engineering judgment, validating correctness, security, maintainability, and fit within the broader system before anything ships.

This is a role for someone who combines solid engineering fundamentals with an AI-native approach to building software. You should be comfortable using tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar AI-assisted development platforms as a normal part of your daily workflow, with clear examples of how these tools have improved your speed, quality, decision-making, or technical output.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer II on the Newbook Websites team, you will contribute to the development and improvement of the WordPress-based websites that Newbook operators use to market their parks and take bookings online. You will work primarily in WordPress and PHP, backed by MySQL, with modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS on the frontend; React experience is a plus for select frontend work but is not the core of the role. Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment environments is helpful, but this role is primarily focused on building and improving application software within WordPress.

You will be expected to bring both traditional software engineering discipline and modern AI-enabled execution. That means writing reliable, maintainable code; developing a strong understanding of the WordPress themes, plugins, and integrations you work in; making pragmatic technical decisions within your scope; communicating clearly with engineers and non-engineers; and using AI tools thoughtfully to move faster, improve quality, and reduce repetitive engineering work.

What You'll Do

• Develop new features and improvements for the Newbook Websites product, building and maintaining custom WordPress themes, plugins, and integrations that connect operator websites to the Newbook platform and booking flows.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, refactoring, documentation, technical discovery, and design work.
• Apply solid engineering fundamentals when reviewing AI-generated code, ensuring correctness, security, maintainability, and alignment with WordPress and system architecture.
• Build reliable frontend experiences with modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, applying React where appropriate for more interactive components.
• Integrate WordPress with the Newbook platform and third-party services via REST APIs, webhooks, and the WordPress REST API.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and platform teams when application work touches CI/CD, AWS services, deployment workflows, monitoring, or reliability concerns.
• Help reduce technical debt through thoughtful refactoring and incremental improvements to the themes, plugins, and code you work in.
• Care about performance, accessibility, SEO, and security across the customer-facing websites we ship.
• Troubleshoot internal bugs and customer-reported issues effectively, balancing speed with long-term code quality.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, support teams, and other engineers to translate business and customer needs into reliable technical solutions.
• Participate actively in collaborative development practices, including stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog refinement, and technical design discussions, and contribute to technical design documents for the work you own.
• Write and maintain unit, integration, and functional tests to ensure confidence in the systems we build.
• Explore new tools, technologies, and AI-enabled workflows that can improve your productivity and the quality of what you ship.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of practical software engineering experience, preferably including experience building and maintaining production web applications.
• Required: hands-on, production WordPress experience, including building and maintaining custom themes and/or plugins, working with WordPress hooks (actions and filters), the block editor, and the WordPress REST API.
• Solid development experience with PHP and MySQL, plus modern JavaScript, HTML, and CSS on the frontend. Experience with TypeScript and React is a plus.
• Experience shipping software in real-world production environments where reliability, maintainability, and customer impact matter.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, with demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools as part of a modern engineering workflow.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools as a normal part of day-to-day engineering work.
• Strong ability to evaluate, correct, and improve AI-generated code rather than accepting outputs blindly.
• A working understanding of software architecture, debugging, testing, performance, scalability, and technical tradeoffs (including the performance, security, and SEO considerations specific to customer-facing WordPress sites).
• Some exposure to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, AWS services, serverless functions, deployment workflows, or related infrastructure tooling is helpful, but not required.
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to break down technical challenges into clear, executable steps.
• Strong communication skills. You should be able to explain your technical decisions clearly to technical and non-technical teammates through async updates, documentation, and collaborative discussion.
• A collaborative mindset and a willingness to give and receive feedback, share what you learn, and grow alongside the team.

How We Expect Engineers to Use AI

We are especially interested in engineers who treat AI as a serious engineering tool and can point to practical ways it has improved how they build software. You should be comfortable using AI to:

• Explore implementation options, compare technical tradeoffs, and help think through the recommended path forward.
• Generate first drafts of code, tests, documentation, diagrams, scripts, and migration plans.
• Debug unfamiliar systems and reason through complex code paths, including legacy WordPress themes and plugins.
• Refactor legacy code safely and incrementally.
• Improve your velocity without compromising quality.
• Validate assumptions and pressure-test technical decisions.
• Build internal tools, automation, and workflows that reduce repetitive engineering work.
• Review AI-generated work critically for correctness, maintainability, security, and product fit.
• We value engineers who know when AI can accelerate the work, and when careful human judgment is required.

Technical Experience

We do not expect every candidate to have deep experience in every technology listed below. Solid experience in several of these areas — with production WordPress experience being required — combined with the ability to learn quickly and use AI effectively, is what matters most.

Primary technologies and tools may include:

• WordPress (custom themes and plugins, multisite, hooks, block editor, WordPress REST API) — required
• PHP
• MySQL
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• HTML / CSS
• REST APIs (including WordPress REST API and Newbook platform integrations)
• React (secondary; a plus rather than a core requirement)
• Testing frameworks
• AI-assisted development tools, including systems such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar coding assistants and agentic development tools

Nice to Have

• Experience running WordPress at scale, including multisite, caching, and performance optimization.
• Experience with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Gutenberg/block development
• Experience integrating WordPress with third-party APIs, booking engines, or payment providers.
• Experience modernizing legacy systems or incrementally refactoring older WordPress or PHP codebases.
• Experience working in SaaS products serving industry-specific operational workflows.
• Experience with point of sale, reservations, bookings, payments, customer management, or marketplace-style systems.
• Experience in travel, hospitality, or outdoor hospitality (RV parks, campgrounds, holiday parks) software.
• Experience building internal AI-enabled tools or workflows for engineering teams.

Education

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is helpful, but equivalent professional experience is equally valued.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a capable engineer with solid fundamentals, real production WordPress multisite experience, and a high level of fluency with modern AI-assisted development tools.

You know how to reason through the systems you work in, debug difficult problems, weigh tradeoffs, and ship reliable software. You also know how to use AI to move faster, explore more options, improve quality, and reduce repetitive engineering work.

You bring curiosity, growing technical depth, strong communication habits, and modern execution speed. You are the kind of engineer who can help Storable RV&C build better software faster while continuing to sharpen your craft and your use of AI in day-to-day engineering.
