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 the way people do business, and we want your ideas, your enthusiasm, and your passion to help us keep on innovating.

We love where we work, and you can, too.

What We’re Looking For

We are hiring an experienced Software Engineer to be a major leader to our Resident development team. You will bring our platform to the next level with the goal of building a highly scalable platform.

Your responsibilities will include working with an engineering team to design, build, modernize and maintain our resident platform. You will integrate with various third party partners to enhance our platform and provide game changing products to our Resident offering. You will analyze the impact of proposed architectural changes and work with other teams across AppFolio’s entire suite of products.

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 collaboratively set the technical direction of our solutions.

Your Impact

Develop scalable and robust Resident flows and user interface that simplifies our customers flows while reducing friction.

Collaborate with a strong cross-functional team of engineers, product managers and operations stakeholders to build a highly reliable and accurate, world class platform.

Research, share and recommend new technologies and trends that will help modernize our code base and infrastructure.

Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software, and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.

Work closely with, and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, and product owners.

Leverage agile practices in start-up mode, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop at a rapid pace.
