About the Role
Join an early engineering team building a software platform for property operations. You will shape the core data model and workflows, and develop AI systems that help automate work across leasing, maintenance, and accounting.
What You'll Do
- Build the data model and workflows that support the property operations platform.
- Develop AI systems that use property context to complete work, identify missing information, and escalate to people when needed.
- Make practical engineering decisions in areas requiring accuracy, including payments, financial records, and resident communications.
- Ship software to users, learn from system gaps and user feedback, and iterate.
What We're Looking For
- Experience taking projects from problem definition through launch and iteration, ideally at an early-stage startup or as a founder or early engineer.
- Hands-on experience building and shipping production software end to end, in a backend or full-stack role.
- Comfort with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to learn them quickly. Experience with other stacks is welcome.
- Experience building AI or LLM systems, payments, accounting, property management, platform software, or production software architecture.
- Startup experience and the ability to take ownership, learn quickly, and work well amid ambiguity.
