What You'll Do

  • Build the data model and workflows for a property management operating system.

  • Ship software to users, learn from its limitations, and improve it based on feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • Senior-level, broad-based software engineering experience spanning deployment, development, operations, and user adoption.
  • Experience at a startup or hypergrowth startup, with a track record of taking projects from problem definition through launch and iteration.
  • Experience building and shipping production software end to end, in a backend or full-stack capacity.
  • Familiarity with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to learn them quickly.
  • Experience with AI or LLM systems, payments, accounting, or property management software is relevant.
  • Ability to take ownership, learn quickly, and work effectively amid ambiguity.
