About ADVSR

ADVSR is a real estate marketing platform designed for high-performing agents and developers around the world. We're building the connective infrastructure for prime and super-prime real estate - a space where reputation, trust, and visibility matter. With $15B+ of inventory already on the platform and partnerships forming globally, we're scaling fast.

We're a small, driven team operating in a high-agency, high-ownership environment. We move fast, ship weekly, and build iteratively. Every decision you make here has an impact - which is exactly how we like it.

________________________________________

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on Lead Software Engineer who can take ownership of our codebase and infrastructure, while collaborating across product, marketing, and sales to continuously improve the platform.

This role replaces our outgoing engineering lead and will be the most senior technical person in-house. You'll be accountable for quality, performance, and delivery - while working with a trusted network of outsourced developers to ship features fast.

We don't expect you to have all the answers on day one, but we do expect you to take the lead, communicate clearly, and figure things out quickly.

________________________________________

Key Responsibilities

VLead the build, maintenance, and evolution of our core platform (Laravel backend, React frontend)

VOwn our CI/CD pipeline, QA workflows, and deployment process (staging + production)

VMonitor and improve infrastructure (AWS, GitHub, Docker, Mailgun, etc.)

VSet engineering standards and ensure code quality across the stack

VManage and collaborate with outsourced developers

VContribute to product roadmap discussions and make technical recommendations to non-technical stakeholders

VWrite well-structured, testable, performant code - and ship it quickly

VAct as a technical sounding board to the co-founder and cross-functional team

VTriage and execute hotfixes, lead platform QA, and manage release cycles

________________________________________

What We’re Looking For

VExpert-level knowledge of PHP (Laravel)

VProficiency in React and frontend migration from Blade

VSolid infrastructure/devops experience: AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD

VExperience building and scaling web applications in fast-moving environments

VStrong understanding of web security, RESTful APIs, and database management

Mindset & Experience

VProven success in startups or agency environments – you’re used to delivering under pressure

VHigh agency, self-starting, resourceful – you ship with what you have, not what you wish for

VComfortable working across disciplines – from designers to marketers to product

VConfident communicator – can explain trade-offs to non-technical teammates

VFast mover – willing to iterate, test, and improve continuously

VClear prioritiser – knows how to balance speed with quality, without hand-holding
