DescriptionHi, We're AppFolio.
We're innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We're more than just a software company - we're a cloud-based powerhouse that creates products to make our customers' lives easier. We're revolutionizing how people do business, and we want your ideas, enthusiasm, and passion to help us keep innovating.
Who we are looking for:
Are you passionate about expanding housing opportunities? Do you want to play your part in addressing the affordable housing crisis in the US? We are hiring a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to join an exceptional team and become a technical domain expert in our Affordable Housing space. Our team aims to make applying for, living in, and managing affordable housing units feel effortless and simple. Affordable Housing is an enormously complex domain - requiring complex data gathering and recurring submission of that data for certification and compliance-all within a diverse and ever-shifting regulatory environment. Things get very complicated very fast and property managers can struggle to keep up. With this team's focus, innovation, and attention to detail, we see a future where it doesn't have to be this way.
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:
- Build a deep understanding of our existing Affordable Housing segment, enabling you and your team to truly own the domain.
- Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems - this will involve some combination of leveraging our existing technology, refactoring, integrating with partners, or starting from scratch when it makes sense.
- Help mentor and guide other software engineers.
- Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance.
- Work closely with and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, product owners, and designers. Enthusiastically participate in a high-performing, empowered team with high levels of mutual trust and respect. Along with the team, you will take ownership of your problem space, reflecting on and growing from our failures and celebrating our successes.
- Work in a truly agile fashion to turn a massive, unruly problem into thinly sliced deliverables and execute quickly against them while limiting work in progress.
- Research, share, and recommend new technologies and trends.
- Hold a high bar of engineering excellence and always look for ways to raise it. Adopt our engineering best practices, provide and receive in-depth code reviews, and participate in healthy debate as a team. Evangelize your own expertise and experience among your teammates and the rest of the organization.
- Prioritize quality. Thoughtful test coverage is a given and any escalations from external stakeholders like our onboarding or customer care teams are handled and resolved swiftly. Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
You know you are the right fit if you...
- Have extensive experience developing web applications, preferably in an agile SaaS environment.
- Have proven experience working across all levels of the development stack.
- Have strong familiarity with the technologies we use like Ruby on Rails, React, MySQL, AWS, SOA
- Have strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
- Have strong familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
- Have creativity and proactivity - an ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
- Love to learn about and use new tech, but understand the value of continuing to leverage existing technology when it gets the job done.
- Care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and advocate for refactoring and code cleanliness.
- Can identify and resolve code-smells through sensible refactoring.
Additional Skills and Knowledge:
- 5+ years of experience working in software engineering teams
- Comfortable working with remote team members
- Ability to think pragmatically and effectively balance business outcomes with technical goals
- Ability to establish strong working relationships with peers across other platform development teams.
