Software Engineer II

Description

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:

Are you passionate about expanding housing opportunities to underserved communities? Do you want to play your part in addressing the affordable housing crisis in the US? We are hiring a mid-level Full Stack Software Engineer II to join an exceptional team and become a technical domain expert in our Affordable Housing space. Our team aims to make applying for, living in, and managing affordable housing units feel effortless and simple. Affordable Housing is an enormously complex domain - requiring complex data gathering and recurring submission of that data for certification and compliance—all within a diverse and ever-shifting regulatory environment. Things get very complicated very fast and property managers can struggle to keep up. With this team’s focus, innovation, and attention to detail, we see a future where it doesn’t have to be this way.

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:

• 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.
• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum scalability, stability, and performance.
• 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, product owners, and our APM customers.
• Leverage agile practices to release small batches of value to customers continuously. – test-driven development, pair programming, live code review, continuous integration, and continuous delivery.
  
  
  

You know you’re the right fit if…

• You’ve heard of Ruby and Rails and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python. You may even know enough about Javascript to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.
• You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.
  
  
  

Additional Skills and Knowledge:

• Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline
• Hands-on work/internship experience developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment
• Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
  
  
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience working across all levels of the development stack
• Experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, React, MySQL, AWS, SOA
• Familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
• Familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
• Knowlege of TRACS, iMAX system , Knowledge of HUD 202D Guidelines
