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.
Who we are looking for:
We are hiring a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to join our newly formed Mixed Portfolio Foundation team. The team's mission is to own the foundational architecture and data models that are common to multiple property types, crafting a strong foundation for our Affordable Housing and Student housing teams to build upon. In addition to driving new capabilities, the team will play a key role in strengthening and evolving existing solutions for our Community Association, Commercial, and NYC business segments.
This will be an engineering-driven team where engineers will have the agency to identify and advocate for the changes needed to support other teams. Engineers will play a key role in setting the technical direction and driving best practices to ensure scalability and flexibility. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for building leading-edge software and solving problems with long term solutions in order to build a scalable 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 mixed portfolio segments, including affordable housing and student housing, enabling you and your team to truly own the foundations of these segments.
- Maintain our ongoing business segments, including Community Association, Commercial, NYC and etc.
- 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.

- 5+ years of experience developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment.
- Extensive experience designing complex data models that fit into business and compliance requirements.
- Extensive experience developing web applications, preferably in an agile SaaS environment.
- You've successfully driven architectural improvements to enhance scalability, flexibility, or performance - and know how to advocate for technical changes that benefit the broader platform.
