Why This Role Matters

In today’s digital age, instant, accurate, and friendly communication is no longer a luxury—it’s an expectation. As part of our strategic roadmap, arenaflex is investing in an AI‑powered chatbot that will serve as the front line of guest support across WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. This chatbot will not only answer routine inquiries but also emulate the conversational depth and nuance of industry‑leading language models, delivering a truly human‑like experience at scale.

Position Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Chatbot Developer who thrives at the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and real‑world product delivery. The ideal candidate will design, build, and launch a robust chatbot that integrates flawlessly with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, handles a wide spectrum of guest queries—from booking details to property amenities—and continuously learns from interactions to improve over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Training & Fine‑Tuning: Curate domain‑specific datasets, perform model fine‑tuning, and implement continuous learning pipelines to keep the bot up‑to‑date with new listings, policies, and seasonal promotions.
• Testing & Quality Assurance: Conduct rigorous unit, integration, and user‑acceptance testing across multiple devices and network conditions, ensuring reliability and low latency.
• Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Produce comprehensive technical documentation, user guides, and training workshops for arenaflex’s support and product teams to maintain and evolve the chatbot post‑launch.
• Performance Monitoring: Set up analytics dashboards to track key metrics such as response accuracy, user satisfaction (CSAT), conversation completion rates, and cost‑per‑interaction, using insights to drive iterative improvements.
• Compliance & Security: Implement data protection measures in line with GDPR, CCPA, and industry best practices, ensuring guest information is handled securely throughout the conversation lifecycle.

Essential Qualifications

• Track record of delivering production‑grade software on schedule, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, with the capacity to troubleshoot complex conversational edge cases and propose data‑driven solutions.
• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, enabling clear articulation of technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
