We’re revolutionizing how people do business in the real estate industry, and we want your ideas, enthusiasm, and passion to help us keep innovating.
We are hiring a Sr. Software Engineer who is passionate about improving developer productivity and large-scale CI performance in a complex monorepo. This position will join a cross-functional team working on designing, building, and maintaining scalable tooling and infrastructure to improve the local development experience and CI pipelines across engineering teams. Expect to partner closely with other platform and product teams to drive adoption of best practices for build, test, and deployment workflows.
What You’ll Do
Design and maintain custom developer tooling that streamlines workflows across multiple languages and platforms.
Partner with product teams to identify friction points and implement solutions that accelerate the "inner loop" of development.
Drive the adoption of modern build systems, automated testing strategies, and efficient deployment workflows.
Mentor fellow engineers and contribute to the long-term architectural vision of our platform organization.
Use TDD, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver robust, maintainable, and scalable web-based solutions.
Key Qualifications
Experience: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. You should have a proven track record in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure-focused roles.
Extensive hands-on experience with Ruby and TypeScript in production environments.
Deep understanding of modern build systems and developer tooling.
Effective communication skills with a desire to solve complex problems alongside product engineering teams.
Nice to Have
Experience with shell scripting in a Linux environment
Creative ability to solve complex problems in collaboration with the product team
Willingness to work on challenging problems in a dynamic environment with a high degree of uncertainty, autonomy, and alignment
Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack
Strong familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
You have a high degree of initiative, creativity, persistence, and a strong focus on producing tangible results quickly and pragmatically.
You love learning about new technologies, but love building real products more.
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 time when needed, but won't let it become a habit.
