If you thrive on solving complex problems and want to make a tangible impact in a fast-growing industry, we’d love to hear from you - apply now and let’s move the industry forward, together!
What you should expect as a full-stack Staff Software Engineer: maximum agency, tight feedback loops with customers, and no shortage of product challenges that directly translate to business value! You’ll have the opportunity to design, build, and ship complex systems and tools that enable teams to execute at scale.
We're looking for someone who can build robust, reliable, and production-ready features end to end, from backend systems and retrieval pipelines to user-facing product experiences. Our products are built with Python, TypeScript, and React on AWS.
In this role, you'll shape solutions from the ground up - owning backend and frontend design, automating complex workflows, and directly applying user feedback. You'll help set technical direction for the team, mentor other engineers, and turn big ideas into products that create real impact for our customers and the business.
In this role, you will:
Contribute to all phases of product development, from ideation and prototyping to implementation and iteration.
Build and evolve both frontend product experiences and backend services that power them.
Design reliable and scalable backend services to support new features in production.
Modernize and automate legacy workflows in the real estate industry.
Define and ship useful features in partnership with cross-functional teams.
Mentor and support the growth of other engineers on the team.
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and operators to identify and solve customer pain points.
7+ years of experience building and delivering production-grade software, ideally in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments.
Strong full-stack engineering skills, with a focus on backend scalability and system reliability.
Experience designing, building, and evolving scalable systems and services.
Clear, concise communicator - essential for our remote, highly collaborative team.
Proactive and ownership-driven - comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities.
Customer-focused mindset with a drive to build solutions that solve real problems.
Strong Python background; experience with TypeScript and React is also a plus.
Experience with workflow automation or complex data integration is a plus.
