⚡ Why This Role Stands Out: This isn't a "sit back and be told what to do" kind of job. We're looking for someone curious, scrappy, and motivated-whether you're early in your career or already have experience.

You'll thrive here if you:
  • Take initiative and don't wait for perfect instructions
  • Like figuring things out-even when it's messy
  • Are excited about using AI tools to build smarter, faster solutions
  • Enjoy solving real problems, not just completing tickets

🤖 AI-Driven Development Environment: AI isn't a buzzword here-it's part of how we build.

You'll:
  • Leverage tools like Claude Code and other AI platforms
  • Prototype quickly and iterate in real time
  • Turn rough ideas into functional solutions
  • Work on projects without a rigid roadmap


💡 Example: Build and connect a regional marketing/lead-gen platform tied into leasing systems-figuring out integrations, automation, and UX along the way.

💻 What You'll Be Doing:

  • Support, maintain, and improve internal applications
  • Build automation tools and lightweight applications
  • Assist with API integrations (including Yardi and other systems)
  • Experiment with AI to streamline workflows and development
  • Troubleshoot issues and optimize system performance
  • Collaborate with senior developers while owning your work

🎯 What We're Looking For: We are open to entry-level candidates with strong foundational skills as well as more experienced developers.

Required:
  • Experience (professional, academic, or internship) in software or application development
  • Exposure to Python, C#, Node.js, or similar
  • Basic understanding of APIs, SQL/databases, and integrations
  • Familiarity with frameworks like Django, Flask, or .NET Core
  • Experience with Git/version control


Nice to Have:
  • Cloud or serverless exposure (Azure, etc.)
  • Basic front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

🔥 What Will Make You Stand Out:

  • Self-starter mentality - you take ownership and run with ideas
  • Comfortable learning as you go and adapting quickly
  • Interest in or experience with AI-assisted development
  • Problem-solver who doesn't need a perfect roadmap
  • Driven to build, test, fail, learn, and improve fast

📌 Apply Now - We're Moving Fast: If you're ready to learn quickly, build real solutions, and grow your career, we want to hear from you.
