Full Job Description
What you'll do:
Lead a team of 4-8 engineers on one of our product engineering teams.
Stay deep in the code. You'll write and ship features alongside your team, not just review their PRs
Own delivery end to end (planning, prioritization, scope tradeoffs, on-time shipping, performance management) in partnership with your PM
Run design reviews, code review standards, on-call, standup and incident response
Grow engineers through regular 1:1s, real feedback, career conversations, and stretch work. Performance manage when needed
Lead hiring for your team and help raise the bar across the org
What you'll need
7+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years managing engineers directly with a track record of developing them
Strong technical foundation. You've shipped real pieces of a production roadmap and can run a design review, debug a production incident, and make architecture tradeoffs
Backend-leaning full stack on Ruby (Grape) with React/Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend. Comfortable with third-party APIs (OAuth, webhooks, rate limits, idempotency), observability, on-call, incident management, AWS, and Terraform
You're already running AI coding agents autonomously, including overnight, to ship.Daily Claude Code use is table stakes. We expect you to lead by example and push your team to do the same
Strong communicator and self-starter who can represent engineering to non-technical stakeholders and is comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
Empathy for our end users, including low-to-moderate-income renters, and a desire to build products that make a difference

Regular off-sites, retreats, and other company-sponsored events and travel opportunities
