The company seamlessly integrates AI services to automate all business processes within brick-and-mortar real estate agencies, integrating them into a tech-enabled digital letting platform in two months to radically improve the user experiences and increase efficiency of the business.</p> <p data-start="191" data-end="1061">We’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations.</p> <h2 data-section-id="9j8g40" data-start="1063" data-end="1082">Position Summary</h2> <p data-start="1083" data-end="1791">We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join one of our core domain teams — Tenant Find, Property Management, or Payments.
