We specialize in developing software and services for property managers nationwide, empowering them to deliver exceptional service to renters, while evaluating applications with unmatched speed and precision.

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, collaborating with strategic partners to implement functional solutions across various systems. You’ll also enable event orchestration and data access across internal and external systems, powering our other internal 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 be responsible for mentoring other Engineers, working to up‑level their skillsets and helping to 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 or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

Where you'll make an impact

• Build for scale, availability, performance, and security for customer‑facing applications.
• Architect and own new features in our ecosystem, collaborating with other Engineers to integrate frontend and backend systems.
• Provide robust technical documentation, code reviews, and promote best practices.
• Monitor performance, debug issues, and ensure operational excellence.
• Make key prioritization decisions with limited supervision.
• Keep abreast of industry trends and ensure the company is taking advantage of 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.
