Job description

Fractional is a social platform for fractional ownership of investment properties. We’re on a mission to open the private real estate market to everyone by making it inclusive, educational, collaborative, and fun.

Current options for real estate investment are limited and expensive. Many people lack the cash but know how to DIY, or have sufficient capital but are stuck with the high fees and limited opportunity that funds offer. We believe that with the right tools, guidance, and community, anyone can choose to own, invest, and grow real assets in the way they want.

We’re well funded with backing from CRV, Y Combinator, Will Smith, Kevin Durant, Unusual Ventures, among others such as founders and leaders of Affirm, Compass, Blend, and Sprout Social. We bring prior experience in fintech, real estate, and SEC regulations.

Democratizing residential real estate is just the start. We’d love to have you join us to build the future of investing.

  • Drive end-to-end design and implementation of product requirements including task break-down, delivery, testing, monitoring, and maintenance.

  • Consistently generate simple and elegant designs, and write high-quality code that can be easily understood and leveraged by others.

  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and the rest of engineering to turn feature and product specs into reality.

  • Influence the features and direction of the platform with your own ideas and proactively identify opportunities to improve business processes.

  • Grow with the company as a technical leader, including mentoring earlier-career engineers, and helping to shape our systems and culture

What we look for

  • Prior experience building, launching, and maintaining products at scale

  • Sense for small details and shaping speedy, reliable user experiences

  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders, such as design and sales

  • Grit and adaptability to thrive with an early-stage team and navigate the unknown

  • Well-developed interpersonal, written, and verbal communication

  • Passion about Fractional’s mission, empathizing with our users and how they’ll interact our products

  • At least 6 years of engineering experience, including technical leadership (ideally with prior experience at a startup)

  • Knowledge of Typescript, Postgres, GraphQL

Bonus points for

  • Interest or experience in building social or collaboration platforms

  • Marketplace or fintech experience

  • Interest or experience in industries with regulatory or compliance considerations

We are a remote-friendly team with a growing in-person hub in New York. Preference will be given to candidates who can help build our NYC engineering hub.

What we offer

  • Health benefits Full healthcare benefits including health, dental, and vision insurance - for you and your dependents.

  • Time off We encourage you to take advantage of our unlimited vacation policy.

  • Team events Regular off-sites and retreats throughout the year.
