With $200M+ in revenue, guests in 700+ cities, and 18 months of profitability, Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re just getting started. We've raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are building a durable company for the long term — because that's what our mission needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.
In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to museums to live events and everything in between.
The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and your impact is real, this is the moment.
Reinventing the travel industry isn't easy, but that's the fun part.
We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home.
Hi, I'm Aakash, Director of Engineering at Headout. I'm looking for a Staff Engineer, Web to shape how Headout's consumer teams design, build and learn in an AI-native world. You will stay close to hard web engineering problems while setting patterns that other teams can use, not simply advise from the sidelines.
The interesting challenge is not getting an agent to produce a page. It is making sure the page respects the design language, behaves well in production and teaches us something when it changes. I want someone who can make that work verifiable, and who can turn good local solutions into useful shared tools without imposing a platform for its own sake.
Headout's consumer teams work like a lab: experiments tell us what is worth building further and what should be shelved. AI has made it faster to build, but that speed has not yet translated into equally fast, trustworthy experimentation. The opportunity is to make design, development, verification and measurement work together, so humans and agents can safely propose, run and learn from product changes.
We want you to see the real problems and have room to ask questions throughout.
At Headout, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our partners, and the community at large.
