Job description

Findigs is on a mission to make renting work for all of us. Renting is one of life’s most critical experiences, yet the process is often slow, opaque, and unfair. We’re changing that by building the first end‑to‑end platform that turns complex screening into a seamless, high‑trust experience for both property managers and renters.

The Role

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in delivering innovative and high‑impact software. You will own durable systems, collaborate with strategic partners to implement functional solutions across various systems, enable event orchestration and data access across internal and external systems, and empower engineering teams to drive the property management industry forward.

Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to occasionally collaborate and problem‑solve with our customers directly, gaining firsthand insights to refine and enhance our solutions. As a Lead Engineer, you will also mentor other Engineers, helping to up‑level their skillsets and create a strong team dynamic.

Our tech stack includes Python, Django, Typescript, React, Temporal.io, Postgres, and more. Please note, we are unable to sponsor an employment Visa at this time.

Where you’ll make an impact:

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of end‑to‑end web applications and services
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including Product, Data Science, Compliance, and Security to define, scope, plan, and release projects
• Build for scale, availability, performance, and security for customer‑facing applications
• Architect and own new features in our ecosystem, integrating frontend and backend systems
• Provide robust technical documentation, conduct code reviews, and promote best practices
• Monitor performance, debug issues, and ensure operational excellence
• Make key prioritization decisions with limited supervision
• Stay abreast of industry trends and ensure the company adopts the latest technologies and best practices

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
• 1+ years of experience in a technical leadership role
• Strong knowledge of API integration best practices (RESTful, GraphQL, SOAP)
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern DevOps best practices
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and test‑driven development practices
• Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team, collaborating across departments
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills

Nice‑to‑haves:

• PropTech/FinTech experience
• Startup experience

What we offer:

• Location: Hybrid schedule (3‑4× in‑office per week), core collaboration days on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at our renovated NoHo office.
• Mission‑Driven Culture: A collaborative, high‑impact workplace that challenges each other to grow, innovate, and drive meaningful change.
• Competitive Compensation: Base salary plus pre‑IPO equity.
• Generous Time Off: Unlimited paid time off (PTO) policy and all‑company holidays.
• Wellness Perks: Health benefits, 401(k) matching up to 4%, monthly gym stipend, and daily lunch provided.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are an equal opportunity employer and, as such, all applicants will be considered based solely upon merit and directly relevant professional competencies.
