WHAT YOU’LL DO

Work directly with Engineering leaders and Solution Architects on technology transformation initiatives that impact millions of renters globally.
Develop across our modern web stack — React, Angular, Node.js, and Java — deployed on AWS with Kubernetes, following best practices in CI/CD, testing, and code quality.
Collaborate on prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agent workflows as we embed intelligence into the rental experience.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS
Currently pursuing a 4-year degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related field.
Hands-on experience coding in at least one language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, etc.).
Familiarity with web development fundamentals — HTML, CSS, REST APIs — and curiosity about how modern front-end frameworks like React or Angular work.
An interest in applied AI: LLMs, prompt engineering, vector search, or ML APIs (even if just through personal projects or coursework).
Strong attention to detail and comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Clear written and verbal communication skills — you’ll be working directly with senior engineers and architects.
Availability to work 35 hours per week.
NICE TO HAVE
Experience with AWS services (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, Bedrock, etc.).
Exposure to Java or Node.js in a project or professional setting.
Familiarity with relational or vector databases.
Experience integrating or fine-tuning AI/ML models or APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, etc.).
Understanding of containerization basics (Docker, Kubernetes).
Familiarity with web analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or Segment) and using data to measure feature impact.
Exposure to headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Strapi, or similar) for managing content-driven web experiences.
Basic understanding of SEO fundamentals — semantic HTML, Core Web Vitals, metadata — as they relate to front-end development.
The hourly rate for this position is $35 an hour.
