Sr. Software Engineer - Investment Manager

Hi, We’re AppFolio.

We’re innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We’re more than just a software company — we’re a cloud-based powerhouse that creates products to make our customers’ lives easier. We’re revolutionizing how people do business, and we want your ideas, enthusiasm, and passion to help us keep innovating.

Who we are looking for:

We are hiring a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to join an exceptional team and become a technical domain expert in our Investment Manager space. Our Investment Management product is the leading software platform in the fast-growing space of real estate investment management. We seek a strong software engineer to help build and evolve the real estate investment management user experience. This industry is ripe for innovation and AppFolio Investment Manager is leading the way. The ideal candidate will thrive in a highly collaborative environment, applying Agile and Lean UX techniques on cross-functional product development teams to build an innovative product for our customers.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for building leading-edge software and is driven to help build a successful SaaS product used by thousands of happy businesses. We foster an environment that empowers small teams to set the technical direction of our solutions collaboratively.

Responsibilities:

• Build a deep understanding of our existing Investment Management segment, enabling you and your team to truly own the domain.
• Become a master of your software engineering craft, and work with other software engineers who are smart enough to teach you, and humble enough to learn from you.
• Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems for our customers.
• Help mentor and guide other software engineers.
• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance.
• Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software.
• Work closely with and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, product owners, and designers.
• Research, share, and recommend new technologies and trends.
• Hold a high bar of engineering excellence and always look for ways to raise it.
• Prioritize quality. Thoughtful test coverage is a given and any escalations from external stakeholders are handled and resolved swiftly.
• Work in a truly agile fashion to turn a massive, unruly problem into thinly sliced deliverables and execute quickly against them while limiting work in progress.

You know you’re the right fit if…

• Extensive experience developing web applications, preferably in an agile SaaS environment.
• Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack.
• Strong familiarity with the technologies we use like Ruby on Rails, React, MySQL, AWS, SOA.
• Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban.
• Strong familiarity with Test-Driven Development.
• Creativity and proactivity - an ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap.
• You love to learn about and use new tech, but understand the value of continuing to leverage existing technology when it gets the job done.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and advocate for refactoring and code cleanliness.
• You can identify and resolve code-smells through sensible refactoring.
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too.

Additional Skills and Knowledge:

• 5+ years of experience working in software engineering teams.
• Comfortable working with remote team members.
• Ability to think pragmatically and effectively balance business outcomes with technical goals.
• Ability to establish strong working relationships with peers across other platform development teams.
