About the role

  • With a generous budget for tokens, our engineers use AI agents to write, review, and ship production code every day.
  • It's one of the most visible, highest-traffic surfaces-the search service alone handles a billion requests every month.
  • You will set technical direction, stay close to the code, and help the team produce consistent impact.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow the Maps & Search team. Own hiring, onboarding, coaching, 1:1s, direct feedback, and career development. Treat management as a craft and build a healthy, high-performing team that ships impactful changes.
  • Stay hands-on. Contribute directly - code and design reviews, architecture, thorny debugging- and stay technical enough to make smart calls on trade-offs.
  • Own and scale a high-throughput search platform. Drive the architecture, relevance, latency, and reliability of a real estate search system handling ~1B monthly requests and hundreds of millions of listings.
  • Deliver a world-class home search experience. Own the core home discovery experience across web and mobile - improving engagement, lead conversion, and agent workflows while keeping interactions fast and responsive at scale.
  • Push forward AI-powered discovery. Partner across teams to bring LLMs and intelligent ranking into search and user workflows, improving how buyers and agents discover, filter, and engage with listings.
  • Shape the roadmap with product and design. Define what we build and why, not just focusing on the how. Translate user needs and business goals into a clear technical plan, and own delivery end to end - planning, quality, reliability, and incident response.
  • You lead from the front. You're still close to the code and technically respected, and you treat management as a craft - growing engineers, giving clear feedback, and building a team that ships.

Requirements

  • You have strong opinions, loosely held, about how AI changes software architecture, team structure, and engineering culture.
  • Search experience - you've worked on search, relevance, ranking, or retrieval systems.

Nice to have

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful senior or staff-level time, plus 2+ years managing engineering teams.

Skills

  • Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with the full-stack fluency to reason about the whole request path from UI to data.
  • Experience designing and operating scalable microservice architectures in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred).
  • Strong understanding of GraphQL, event-driven systems (Kafka), and databases (PostgreSQL, OpenSearch).
  • Experience leading high-impact initiatives from concept through production in a SaaS environment.
  • Frontend: React, Tailwind, Apollo
  • Backend: Node.js / TypeScript microservices
  • Data: PostgreSQL, OpenSearch
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Lambda
  • Messaging: Kafka, Redis
  • 5000 fastest-growing companies list three years in a row.
  • More than 18,000 real estate businesses rely on our platform, including 30% of the Wall Street Journal RealTrends top agents and teams.
  • Every year since 2020, Luxury Presence has ranked on BuiltIn's Best Place to Work lists.

Compensation

  • Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we're a Series C company that has hit $100M in annual recurring revenue.

Benefits

  • You thrive in a fast-growing company where the roadmap evolves and ownership is real.

Company info

  • We are hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead Maps & Search.
  • What We're Looking For
  • You already build with AI daily. You use AI as a core part of your workflow, not as a novelty - and you expect your team to as well.
