Job Description

About the Role

Join an early engineering team building a software platform for property operations. You will shape the core data model and workflows, and develop AI systems that help automate work across leasing, maintenance, and accounting.

What You'll Do

  • Build the data model and workflows that support the property operations platform.

  • Develop AI systems that use property context to complete work, identify missing information, and escalate to people when needed.

  • Make practical engineering decisions in areas requiring accuracy, including payments, financial records, and resident communications.

  • Ship software to users, learn from system gaps and user feedback, and iterate.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience taking projects from problem definition through launch and iteration, ideally at an early-stage startup or as a founder or early engineer.

  • Hands-on experience building and shipping production software end to end, in a backend or full-stack role.

  • Comfort with TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or the ability to learn them quickly. Experience with other stacks is welcome.

  • Experience building AI or LLM systems, payments, accounting, property management, platform software, or production software architecture.

  • Startup experience and the ability to take ownership, learn quickly, and work well amid ambiguity.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $150,000 to $300,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available, including for H-1B transfers.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California. Candidates should be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate.
