Position Summary

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join one of our core domain teams — Tenant Find, Property Management, or Payments. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of business, product, architecture, and hands-on execution.

You will be expected to understand how the domain works in practice, identify the highest-leverage opportunities for automation, shape the solution, and drive it through to production. You will work in a small, high-ownership team where exceptional engineers can have disproportionate impact.

This role requires advanced day-to-day use of AI and LLMs as part of exploring problems, evaluating solution paths, accelerating implementation, and designing automation systems.

Location: London, UK

Key Responsibilities

Deep Domain Understanding

• Gain a deep understanding of your assigned domain (Tenant Find, Property Management, or Payments) and identify the highest-leverage opportunities for automation
• Understand real operational workflows, including legacy processes, manual work, local exceptions, and agency-specific variations
• Determine what should be standardized and what should remain flexible while designing robust, scalable solutions

Automation and AI-Driven Systems

• Design, implement, and maintain systems that automate manual processes across acquired agencies
• Apply advanced AI and agentic techniques pragmatically to improve decision quality, operational efficiency, and team leverage
• Ensure automation reduces operational load, improves reliability, and enhances business margins

Product and Architectural Collaboration

• Partner closely with product managers to frame problems, define solutions, and prioritize initiatives
• Make architectural decisions grounded in operational reality rather than abstract models
• Contribute to moving the system and the people around it toward better outcomes, balancing flexibility, scalability, and reliability

End-to-End Ownership and Impact

• Take full responsibility for outcomes, not just implementation
• Deliver projects from concept to production rollout, continuously improving processes
• Influence the overall direction of your domain, shape automation strategy, and materially improve business economics

Requirements

• Strong engineering background with experience independently delivering complex systems from idea to production
• Solid experience with Node.js + TypeScript and React + TypeScript
• Familiarity with modern TypeScript patterns, tRPC, Drizzle, and SQL (MySQL/Postgres), or ability to ramp up quickly
• Ability to design architectures for fast-changing products with real operational constraints
• High autonomy, ownership, and comfort making decisions under ambiguity
• Product judgment and the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes
• Strong understanding of the modern AI landscape and agentic workflows, with pragmatic application beyond hype
• Experience in end-to-end delivery in domains with fragmented legacy workflows and operational complexity
• Strong communication skills and fluency in English
• Higher degree education
• Startup mentality: resilience, adaptability, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Strong problem-solving skills — ability to approach challenges logically and propose practical solutions

Compensation & Benefits

• 💰 Competitive salary with potential for equity options based on performance
• 🌍 Fully remote role with flexibility and seamless collaboration across a geographically distributed team
• Work on one of the world’s most complex problems in the largest consumer industry — residential rentals
• Join a strong operational and technical team disrupting the most antiquated industry in the world
