This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with deep expertise in **Ruby on Rails** and **React** who is excited about "greenfield" development. The ideal candidate has at least 7 years of B2B SaaS experience and is passionate about using **AI-assisted development tools** (like Claude Code) to accelerate delivery. You should be a "player-coach" who enjoys architecting complex data integrations while managing a small, high-performing cross-functional team. As a strategic hire reporting directly to the **CTO**, you will lead the unification of a market intelligence engine with an AI-driven automation platform. This is a fully remote, U.S.-based position at a profitable, investor-backed company. They offer a "no a**holes" culture, 401k, and 100% company-paid short/long-term disability and life insurance, focusing on sustainable growth rather than burning capital. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 2+ years of leadership experience and can balance 40% coding with 60% strategy and mentorship. * Are an early adopter of AI tools and believe they are force multipliers for engineering velocity. * Have a strong background in data-intensive applications, specifically involving Postgres or data pipelines. * Prefer working in an agile, remote-first environment where "shipping working code" is valued over perfection.
We are defining the future of the Rentals Industry.
ApartmentIQ is a profitable, growing company building the industry's most advanced operating system for multifamily real estate. Last year alone, we shipped three new products — and we're just getting started. We have two category-leading engines: ApartmentIQ, which provides deep market intelligence and data, and Maven, an AI-driven marketing automation platform.
Now, we are combining them.
We are forming a brand new team to build the connective tissue between Intelligence and Action. We are a fully remote group of 100+ spread from coast to coast. We operate on a strict "no aholes" policy and have built a community of high-performers who take our work seriously, but never ourselves.
While we are backed by $30MM+ from world-class investors, we are profitable, cash-rich, and control our own destiny. We don't incinerate capital; we build products that customers love and rely on.
The Mission: The New Team
You will report directly to the CTO and lead a newly formed team tasked with a massive strategic initiative: uniting the deep data insights of ApartmentIQ with the generative workflow of Maven. You will build and grow a cross-functional team that includes up to four engineers, a product manager, and a designer.
The Product Goal: We are building a system where market data drives immediate action. Instead of static reports, we want our data to do the work. When ApartmentIQ detects a vacancy or a pricing shift, it should trigger Maven to automatically generate and post engaging social media content and instantly update listing availability across the web.
This ensures that prospective renters always have the most accurate, real-time information they need to make quick decisions, while property managers save hours of manual work. You will be the technical architect behind this integration.
The Role
This is not a role where someone else decides what to build and hands you a spec. You’ll go from customer conversation to shipped feature. You’ll look at usage data to figure out what’s working and what isn’t. You’ll make product tradeoff calls alongside your PM and designer, not downstream of them.
We don't just build AI features; we build with AI. We are early adopters of tools like Claude Code and AI-assisted testing and code review. We see these as force multipliers that free engineers to focus on what matters most: high-level architecture, creative problem-solving, and building things that genuinely work. We're looking for engineers who are curious about these tools and eager to push on what's possible — not people who need to be convinced.
