TLDR
Design intuitive AI-driven leasing experiences that enhance customer engagement while collaborating closely with a small agile team of engineers and product managers.
AppFolio is more than a company. We’re a community of dreamers, big thinkers, problem solvers, active listeners, and multipliers. At every opportunity, we set the pace while delivering innovation built to carry real estate into the future. One in which every experience feels effortless, yet meaningful. Where customers are empowered to take on any opportunity. We show up as one team, connected by our values to be a force for good. Because together, we have the power to create extraordinary outcomes for our customers, our communities, and ourselves.
We love where we work, and you can, too.
Conversations are at the heart of how our customers run their businesses. Property managers spend much of their time communicating with prospects— answering questions, scheduling showings, and building trust. The UX Designer for our Agentic AI Leasing product will design intuitive, business-focused, cross-channel (voice, text, web) experiences that optimize our customers’ sales funnel, creating space for property managers to focus on the connections that matter most.
The ideal candidate will thrive in a highly collaborative environment, eager to apply Agile and Lean UX techniques while working on a small scrum team alongside Software Engineers, QA Engineers, and Product Managers to build innovative AI-driven solutions.
