What You'll Do

* Build the data model and workflows for a property management operating system.

* Ship software to users, learn from its limitations, and improve it based on feedback.

What We're Looking For

* Senior-level, broad-based software engineering experience spanning deployment, development, operations, and user adoption.

* Experience at a startup or hypergrowth startup, with a track record of taking projects from problem definition through launch and iteration.

* Experience building and shipping production software end to end, in a backend or full-stack capacity.

* Familiarity with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to learn them quickly.

* Experience with AI or LLM systems, payments, accounting, or property management software is relevant.

* Ability to take ownership, learn quickly, and work effectively amid ambiguity.
