We love where we work, and you can, too.

Who we are looking for:

We are hiring a senior-level full-stack Software Engineer to join our Leasing Engineering Team and contribute to our rapid product development pace. We work collaboratively to set the technical direction for our SaaS products, developing easy-to-use solutions for our customers. Our engineers find deep satisfaction in building things that customers actually need. We focus on delivering value to customers and understand that this often means delivering code that isn't perfect but meets customer needs.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for building leading-edge software and is driven to help build a successful SaaS product used by thousands of happy businesses. We foster an environment that empowers small teams to set the technical direction of our solutions collaboratively.

Responsibilities:

• Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems.
• Help mentor and guide other software engineers.
• Formulate, implement, and evaluate algorithms and database queries to support SaaS scalability and stability.
• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance.
• Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
• Work closely with, and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, product owners, designers, and researchers.

• You have experience working across all levels of the development stack.
• You have experience with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban.
• You have experience with automated testing.
• You consider yourself language agnostic, and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python.
• You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.

Nice to Have:

• Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline.
• Experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, React, AWS, SOA.
• Experience with AI/ML technologies.
• Experience participating in architectural and systems design.
