You
You love building software that directly enables your team to crack critical business challenges. You’ve shipped production applications and can strike the right balance between shipping fast for immediate impact and long-term vision. You enjoy working remotely along with the independence and responsibility that comes with that.
Real estate is the world’s largest asset class, but experience in the domain is not required. What is necessary is motivation to dive in and understand the work people do every day so you can build the right tools that give them leverage. The idea of building & running a $150M/yr business that operates like a startup, growing at 5-7%/yr (not a startup looking for PMF) is exciting to you.
What You’ll Do
Buying, renovating, and managing a portfolio of thousands of homes worth billions of dollars is a big task. Our team is continuously experimenting to improve efficiency and accelerate operations.
You’ll join a pod that consists of seasoned business owners paired with product and have complete ownership over a domain to to crank out needle moving features weekly. There’s a lot for a small team to do, so we look for “W-shaped” engineers. You should be comfortable and confident across any stack, but also have deep expertise in one or more areas where you can be the team expert.
To manage single-family rentals at our scale, we write lots of software that runs our operations. For this dev pod, our users are hundreds of employees and vendors located in 40+ markets who renovate homes, repair issues for residents, and prepare our vacant homes for the next move-in.
In this role, you will:
- Pioneer AI Advancements Across the Stack. Bring your passion for cutting-edge technology to supercharge development. You’ll harness modern AI tools—like large language models and automation frameworks—to rapidly prototype new features, streamline workflows, and constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible.
- Architect Scalable Backend Systems. Design and build the robust, high-performance services that power our field and property management operations. You’ll integrate both in-house solutions and external platforms—whether it’s a trusted ledger service or AI-driven resource optimization—to create seamless, enterprise-level applications.
- Orchestrate Complex Integrations. Connect our AI-powered services with third-party APIs (REST, GraphQL, etc.) to enhance functionality and enable smooth communication across our ecosystem of solutions.
- Shape Our Roadmap and Vision. As the AI champion, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to define priorities, ship features fast, and ensure we’re focusing on the highest-impact work. You’ll frequently interact with users to gather insights, refine solutions, and steer our long-term AI strategy.
- Continuously Analyze and Optimize. We thrive on data-driven decisions. You’ll monitor system performance, uncover opportunities for improvement, and apply iterative enhancements that lead to tangible business value and heightened reliability.
Your Stats
You'll be working across multiple backend projects. You might be a great fit if these attributes describe you:
