Job Overview:
As a Senior Software Engineer , you will take ownership of features and systems that power the landlord experience — from listing management to payments to landlord tools and beyond. Beyond building, you'll be an active contributor to how we solve problems: participating in brainstorming sessions, helping shape technical approaches to business goals, and driving projects from idea through delivery. You will work with a team of talented engineers to build scalable and reliable solutions, ensuring a seamless experience for our users. This role requires an experienced engineer with depth in modern frontend stacks and exposure to backend and infrastructure in support of a service-oriented and data-driven platform.
 
Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of high-quality software across the full stack, with a primary focus on front-end architecture and user-facing experiences.
• Contribute to architectural decisions for our front-end systems, including component architecture, design systems, and state management patterns, while collaborating on API design and cloud infrastructure as needed.
• Work closely with product managers and designers to translate requirements into intuitive, performant, and accessible user experiences.
• Advocate for continuous improvements in code quality, testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end), and development processes across the stack.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your workflow and contribute to team best practices for effective AI usage.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on your team, promoting best practices in front-end development and full-stack architecture.
• Participate in monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance of production systems, with particular attention to frontend performance and client-side reliability.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with a strong background in building and scaling front-end systems and full-stack applications.
• Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks (e.g. React, Vue, or Angular); familiarity with Next.js and Node.js is a plus.
• Experience making frontend architecture and tooling decisions within a team context.
• Experience with A/B experiments, feature flagging, and gradual rollouts in the context of frontend delivery.
• Familiarity with AI-powered development tools and a willingness to integrate them into daily   engineering workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work creatively in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering, design, and product teams.
• Prior experience in a startup environment.
