Our feature set is continually expanding across forecasts, valuations, interactive maps, investor analytics, property tools, and AI-driven features.We also have a massive built-in marketing funnel, with more than 1 million followers across our social media channels. That allows us to launch new features to a large audience, measure how users respond, and iterate quickly.We’re profitable, growing, and looking for a hands-on, product-minded engineer who wants meaningful ownership of the technology and features behind that growth.The RoleThis is primarily a backend and data engineering role, but we are not looking for someone who simply completes tickets.We want a developer who thinks like a product owner.You should enjoy taking a feature from idea to production, taking accountability for whether it actually works for users, and then using real product data to improve it.Your involvement in a new feature might look like:Product idea → architecture → database/data pipeline → API → front-end implementation → launch → PostHog analysis → iterationYou’ll work directly with the CEO and development team to turn product ideas into working features quickly.What You’ll OwnBuild and maintain our Python backend systemsDesign and improve our data architectureBuild and maintain APIs powering our web and mobile applicationsOwn new product features from technical planning through productionMaintain and improve ETL pipelines processing housing, economic, and geographic dataWrite and optimize advanced SQLManage asynchronous processes, scheduled tasks, queues, and background jobsMaintain and improve our Google Cloud Platform infrastructureWork with services including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, load balancing, and monitoringDebug issues across data sources, backend systems, APIs, and the user-facing applicationImprove system performance, reliability, scalability, and monitoringMake front-end changes when needed, particularly using modern AI development toolsHelp identify architectural weaknesses and propose practical solutionsThink Like a Product OwnerShipping the code is not the finish line.We want someone who wants to know:Are users actually using the feature?Where are they dropping off?Are they clicking the actions we expected?Is the feature improving engagement or conversion?What should we change next?Experience with PostHog, Amplitude, or a similar product analytics platform is strongly preferred.You should be comfortable defining events and funnels, analyzing user behavior, supporting A/B tests, identifying friction points, and using data to recommend product changes.What We’re Looking ForStrong professional experience with:PythonBackend developmentAPI design and architectureETL and data pipelinesAdvanced SQLLarge datasetsAsynchronous and background processingGoogle Cloud PlatformProduction infrastructureData architecture and system designGit and modern development workflowsDebugging complex production systemsYou should also have enough front-end experience to work effectively in an existing application, ideally with:ReactJavaScript / TypeScriptAPI integrationFront-end debuggingBuilding or modifying user-facing featuresYou do not need to be a front-end specialist. Backend and data engineering should be your strongest skill set.But you should be comfortable using your own coding ability and AI tools to work across the stack when needed.AI-Native DevelopmentWe actively encourage the use of modern AI development tools such as Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and similar platforms.We’re interested in developers who use AI as a force multiplier to:Understand unfamiliar code fasterBuild features more quicklyWork outside their primary specialization when necessaryDebug issuesWrite and review testsRefactor codeAnalyze architectureAutomate repetitive engineering workWe care about quality and output, not whether every line of code was typed manually.Working StyleThis is a hands-on engineering role.You will be expected to write code, investigate bugs, build features, troubleshoot production issues, and deploy solutions yourself.Our development cadence includes:40 hours per weekWorking primarily during Central Time business hoursDaily development standupsBrief, regular 1-on-1 check-ins with the CEODirect communication about priorities, blockers, architecture, and product decisionsClose collaboration with developers and QAYou will have substantial ownership and direct access to the person making product decisions, allowing good ideas and technical improvements to move quickly.We value proactive communication.

What was the architecture, scale, and your specific responsibility?2) Describe a data pipeline or ETL system you built or maintained. What data volume did it handle, what tools did you use, and what was the hardest problem you solved?3) What experience do you have with Python, SQL, APIs, asynchronous jobs, and Google Cloud Platform? Please be specific about what you have used in production.4) Tell us about a serious production issue you personally diagnosed and fixed. How did you identify the root cause and prevent it from happening again?5) Describe a feature you owned from development through launch. After launch, how did you use data or product analytics such as PostHog or Amplitude to evaluate whether it worked?6) What front-end experience do you have with React, JavaScript, or TypeScript? We do not expect a front-end specialist, but you should be able to make product changes when needed.7) Which AI coding tools do you use today?
