Who we are

At Stella Stays, we’re not just another hospitality brand - we’re building the future of living. We’ve reimagined what it means to feel at home, creating tech-driven, beautifully designed spaces that people actually want to live in, whether for a few days or a few months.

We started in 2019 with a bold vision, and in just a few years, we became leaders in the space, disrupting traditional hospitality with a fresh, forward-thinking approach. Our fully furnished homes across MENA are seamlessly bookable online, ready for instant move-in, and packed with everything from high-speed WiFi to world class amenities. No paperwork, no hassle - just modern, effortless living.

Behind this vision is a team of ambitious, fast moving people who thrive in a high-growth environment. We think big, move fast, and build what’s never been built before - together.

If you’re looking for a place where you can make things happen, grow your career, and be part of something truly game-changing, you’ve found it. Welcome to the future. Welcome to Stella Stays.

At Stella Stays, you will:

We're on the lookout for a Senior Frontend Engineer who lives and breathes React.js. You’ll be joining a product-driven, design-loving team that thrives on crafting seamless experiences across devices and platforms. This isn’t just another feature factory, we care deeply about usability, maintainability, and performance.

What you’ll do:

  • Build modern, elegant, and responsive UIs using React.js, working closely with design and backend teams

  • Create reusable components and front-end libraries for speed, scalability, and sanity

  • Turn wireframes and mockups into high-performance, pixel-perfect code

  • Optimize everything, from page load time to dropdown on mobile

  • Write clean, testable, and maintainable code (and help others do the same!)

  • Drive code reviews, mentor junior devs, and be a key voice in technical decisions

  • Collaborate with stakeholders and team members across time zones and functions

  • Constantly hunt for improvements in performance, UX, and developer experience

Requirements

  • Solid command of JavaScript, the DOM, and React.js (including internals)

  • Experience with Redux (or other modern state management), TypeScript, and Next.js

  • A deep understanding of RESTful APIs, and bonus points if you’re handy with GraphQL

  • Git mastery and comfort working with modern front-end build tools like Webpack, Vite, or Babel

  • An eye for design and the little details that make big UX differences

  • Strong understanding of frontend architecture, security best practices, and performance

  • Experience writing unit/integration tests and care about code quality

  • Comfortable switching contexts and juggling priorities without breaking a sweat

Bonus points if:

  • You’ve worked in fast-paced startups or global remote teams

  • You can show us a portfolio, GitHub profile, or a side project you're proud of

  • You’ve got opinions about frontend frameworks and aren’t afraid to back them up

We’re reinventing living spaces across the world, beautifully designed, tech-enabled, and ready for modern living. We’re a team of builders, dreamers, and disruptors. If you’re ready to code with purpose and see the real-world impact of your work, let’s chat.
