Senior Software Engineer

At PointCentral, we are creating a world where property managers can spend their time focusing on the people who make their communities thrive rather than routine administrative, operational, and maintenance tasks. At the same time, we are providing renters and guests access to secure, convenient, and resource-conserving smart home solutions. While we have a solid client base, with some of the world’s biggest customers using our solutions, we’re just getting started!

As a Senior Software Engineer on PointCentral’s Property Manager Interfaces team, you will work with a small team of full-stack developers to build exciting new features for our platform to help property managers effectively and efficiently manage their portfolios. Our team works in areas such as improving the self-guided touring experience for prospective residents and property managers (including finding ways to reduce fraud!) and creating new interfaces such as dashboards to allow property managers to easily perform their routine tasks and gain insights into their properties. Alongside other developers, you’ll collaborate closely with our Product Management and Business teams to drive the technical discovery, design, and implementation of large-scale applications, products, and platforms.

Our software development includes working on backend services, websites, and database design that make-up our whole ecosystem.

• Take part in the entire project life cycle, from requirements development to deployment with lots of cross-team collaboration.
• Engage in the research, evaluation, and application of new technologies and methodologies to solve challenging project goals.
• Exercise good judgment. Know when to work quickly, and when to build a robust solution.
• Bring your ideas! We want our engineers to collaborate on product development, not blindly build to a spec.
• Other duties as assigned.
