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.

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.

In this role, you will:
Design and build out new features in their entirety. Our particular team builds workflow tools for thousands of workers on the go that creates industry-leading operating leverage.
Scope and prioritize the roadmap. We are constantly shipping, and evaluating new problems/opportunities to improve how our teams work. We talk to our users regularly and ship fast. Engineers help define our long-term tech vision and make tradeoffs between effort and impact so we stay focused on the most important, urgent work at all times.
Analyze efficiency and performance. We’re dedicated to continuous improvement and optimization. You’ll use data to monitor how our software is performing and identify opportunities that drive business results and improve system reliability.
