THE OPPORTUNITY
We create exceptional, easy to use, high quality products that lead the Commercial Real Estate industry into the future and delight our customers. To achieve this, our software teams work closely with their product team members to build backend (Rails) and frontend (React) features. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Enterprise team and help us scale not just our codebase, but our engineering organization. This role is for someone who thrives in complexity, brings strong technical judgment, and wants to make an outsized impact by unblocking others and shaping how work gets done.

- Engineering elegant and practical solutions
- Iterating on and polishing your work to meet the standards for Buildout Quality
- Make sound technical and architectural decisions that balance customer urgency with long-term maintainability and system health
- Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, including Product, UX, and Customer-facing teams, to translate enterprise needs into scalable solutions
- Contribute to a strong engineering culture through leading by example, thoughtful code reviews, pairing on difficult issues to share knowledge and drive accountability, and mentorship of junior and mid-level engineers
- Help establish and reinforce standards for code quality, testing, and technical decision-making across enterprise work
WHAT MAKES A GREAT CANDIDATE
- 5+ years of product software development experience, ideally within SaaS or enterprise environments
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails and React, though this role leans backend
- Demonstrated ability to own complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end and deliver high-quality solutions
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to explain decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
- A collaborative mindset and eager to mentor others through code reviews, pairing, and shared problem-solving
- Bonus points:
- Experience using Claude Code (or similar AI-assisted development tools) to accelerate development workflows
- Experience working on enterprise or contract-driven work where requirements are not always fully defined
