Forward Deployed Engineer
Join a product-oriented technology team that builds software to improve how the company operates. Our small, senior, AI-native team spans data, property technology, and products across the business.
You’ll partner with the people closest to each function to understand what should work better and build the product to make it happen.
If you see how something should work and want to build it, you’re in the right place.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
- Own a product end to end: discovery, design, build, deploy, and the measurement that proves it worked
- Embed with the subject-matter expert who lives the problem and build alongside them, not from a requirements document
- Build across the stack: APIs, interfaces, and integrations against our property management and financial systems
- Choose the right instrument: a model, a deterministic pipeline, a vendor product, or a process change
- Work where the roadmap is heading: financial intelligence, operational workflow, marketing, and data products
- Drive AI codegen through the build, and help set the standard for how the team uses it
Education & Experience
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping software that is used in production
- Strong proficiency in Python or TypeScript, with experience working with APIs, SQL, and production deployments
- Deep familiarity with AI-assisted development and coding agents, with the judgment to use them effectively and know when not to
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts and trade-offs clearly to non-technical partners
- A background in computer science, software engineering, a coding bootcamp, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Comfortable working from loosely defined problems, taking ownership from idea through execution, and measuring success by outcomes
- Prior work in property management, real estate, or another operations-heavy industry
- Familiarity with Domo or other BI platforms
- Exposure to property management systems (Yardi, RealPage, Entrata)
- Experience building internal tools or automation for a non-technical business
- A side project, a small business, or a job you automated yourself
