About the job
Description
Hi, We’re AppFolio
We’re innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We’re more than just a software company – we’re pioneers in cloud and AI who deliver magical experiences that make our customers’ lives easier. We’re revolutionizing how people do business in the real estate industry, and we want your ideas, enthusiasm, and passion to help us keep innovating.
AppFolio is evolving. We are transforming from a scrappy SaaS product for property managers to the platform where the real estate industry comes to do business.
Access control (IAM) is at the core of our platform: we authenticate and authorize users (whether humans, machines, or AI agents) to execute tasks securely across a diverse and growing ecosystem. We’re looking for a talented engineer who would, in close collaboration with our Chief Architect, design, lead, and execute a safe, secure, and easy-to-use platform strategy for internal and external user access control.
Responsibilities
- Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems
- The ability to lead change across multiple teams
- Help mentor and guide other engineers
- Formulate, implement, and evaluate system designs to support SaaS usability, scalability, and stability.
- 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.
- Leveraging agile practices, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop at a rapid pace
- Research, share and recommend new technologies and trends.
You know you’re the right fit if…
- 8+ years of experience developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment
- Experience working across all levels of the development stack
- Expert familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
- Expert familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
- Language agnostic, and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python.
- 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.
- Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
Nice to Have:
- Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline
- Experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, Java, AWS, SOA
