    About the Role

    Join an early engineering team building software for property operations. You will shape the data model, workflows, and AI capabilities that help teams manage leasing, maintenance, payments, and accounting.

    What You'll Do

    • Build the data model and workflows for a property management operating system.
    • Develop AI systems that use property context to complete work, identify missing information, and escalate issues to people when needed.
    • Make practical engineering decisions in high-stakes areas, including payments, financial records, and resident communications.
    • Ship software to users, learn from its limitations, and improve it based on feedback.

    What We're Looking For

    • Senior-level, broad-based software engineering experience spanning deployment, development, operations, and user adoption.
    • Experience at a startup or hypergrowth startup, with a track record of taking projects from problem definition through launch and iteration.
    • Experience building and shipping production software end to end, in a backend or full-stack capacity.
    • Familiarity with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to learn them quickly.
    • Experience with AI or LLM systems, payments, accounting, or property management software is relevant.
    • Ability to take ownership, learn quickly, and work effectively amid ambiguity.

    Base salary is $150,000 to $300,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
