Job description

TheGuarantors is a fintech company helping multifamily owners and operators mitigate leasing risk while expanding access for renters. With a deep understanding of owner, operator, and renter needs, we believe renters deserve better access to the home of their choice and operators deserve greater protection and growth opportunities. That’s why we’re leveraging our real estate expertise and using AI-driven renter underwriting to help operators qualify renters faster while mitigating the financial risk of renter default. With $7B+ in lease value protected, we work with 9 of the country’s top 10 operators, are the #1 lease guarantee provider nationwide, and have consistently been named one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing companies, one of Forbes’ Best Startup Employers, and one of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500

The Role

The Software Engineer is responsible for owning a slice of the renter acquisition channel application and services, where most of our renter customers are onboarded. This role supports nearly every other technology team, as well as our operations and analytics teams by onboarding renters as smoothly as possible, while also maintaining data and process integrity for downstream teams.

The ideal candidate will bring a high degree of ownership, a keen sense for user experience, and persistent quality technical output. This candidate will be expected to translate abstract business requirements from multiple parties, operate within a thorough ownership environment, and strive to create the best possible outcome for all stakeholders.
