## Job description

Senior Software Engineer

Your Opportunity:

At PLACE, we're building a category-defining company at the intersection of real estate, technology, business services, and the consumer. As a profitable, hypergrowth startup on the path to an IPO, our standards are high, our team is scrappy, and our commitment is to execute the best work of our lives.

This is YOUR CHANCE to help power the web experiences used by thousands of real estate professionals and consumers every day. As our Senior Software Engineer, you'll partner with the Engineering Manager, product leaders, and design teams to build and scale high-impact full-stack applications across our ecosystem. You'll play a key role in delivering performant, reliable, and intuitive web solutions that support complex workflows and real-world use cases. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving real user problems, and believe in building scalable full-stack experiences, this is your PLACE. This is a hybrid role based in Bethesda, MD.

Who Develops You: VP, Software Engineering & IT Operations

What You're Great At:

You are a seasoned full-stack engineer with 5+ years of professional experience building web applications. You're at home in React and Next.js on the front end and Nest.js (Node.js) on the back end, and you've designed, built, and consumed GraphQL APIs in production. You've built and maintained CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, and you understand the value Serverless and Kubernetes bring to how software is developed and deployed.

You have a strong grasp of core web and browser concepts, HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and both relational and non-relational data models. When performance problems show up, you know how to diagnose them, and how to prevent them in the first place.

You communicate clearly, in writing and out loud, and you build consensus with peers and keep stakeholders updated. You're positive, solution-oriented, self-motivated, and well organized. You're comfortable in a highly agile, intensely iterative environment, including on a geographically distributed team. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Mathematics, Engineering, or another physical science (or equivalent experience) is expected; a master's is a plus.

Bonus points for: experience with the Spring Framework supporting Java-based services, enterprise or product-focused software company experience, and experience on a remote or globally distributed team.

What You'll Do:

- Design, build, and ship full-stack features across PLACE products using React and Next.js on the front end and Nest.js on the back end, in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
- Design, build, and maintain GraphQL APIs and schemas that power front-end and cross-team needs, following best practices for performance, versioning, and schema governance
- Partner with Product Management, UX, Backend, and other stakeholders to scope, iterate on, and deliver new features end-to-end
- Write maintainable, high-quality code and champion team standards through thoughtful code review
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, partnering with DevOps/platform teams on deployment automation, environment management, and release processes
- Apply DevOps principles across the development lifecycle, using Serverless and Kubernetes-based deployment patterns where appropriate
- Diagnose and resolve performance issues across the stack, from browser rendering to API and data-layer bottlenecks
- Learn, collaborate, and teach fellow engineers, because everyone can contribute something new to the team

Salary: $125,000-$150,000/year depending on experience.

Why PLACE:

We believe people do their best work when they're trusted, supported, and surrounded by others who are equally driven. That's why this role includes a "work from the PLACE you work best" approach: at home, in an office, or on the move (with availability during core EST hours). Our competitive benefits include PTO as needed, comprehensive insurance coverage, a 401(k) match, stock option grants, and a stock purchase plan. Every team member is an owner, building the "PLACE" they are proud to call "my company."

## About PLACE Corporate Careers

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: PLACE is an end-to-end real estate technology and business services platform that powers top-producing real estate teams across North America.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Bellingham, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Ben Kinney and Chris Suarez

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Real Estate Technology (PropTech)
- Target customers: Top-tier real estate agents and teams (B2B), and consumers buying, selling, and maintaining homes (B2C)
- Mission statement: "Delivering the dream of homeownership everywhere" by putting the most informed, most empowered real estate professional at the center of the experience.

## Products & Services
- **PLACE Platform (Agent-Facing)**: A proprietary technology and business services suite that offloads up to 75% of agents' operational tasks (accounting, HR, legal, marketing, talent acquisition, coaching). It is brokerage-agnostic, meaning it works with any brokerage.
- **Consumer Services Suite**: A one-stop shop for consumers that streamlines buying, selling, maintaining, and investing in properties. Includes in-house mortgage brokers, title and escrow services, an insurance portal, and a home improvement network referral system.
- **Brivity**: A CRM and marketing automation platform acquired by PLACE to support agent workflows.
- **Remine**: A real estate data and analytics platform acquired by PLACE in April 2025.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Annual Revenue**: USD $85,000,000 (latest available)
- **Total Funding**: USD $100,000,000 (Series A, led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, November 2021)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Goldman Sachs Asset Management (lead investor)
- **Growth Signals**:
    - Employee headcount of approximately 350 people (+24% year-over-year)
    - Presence in 100+ locations across the United States and Canada
    - Acquisitions of Livian (Sept 2024) and Remine (April 2025) for $1.5M
    - Expanding into mortgage, title, insurance, and home improvement services

## Competitive Advantages
- **Brokerage Agnostic**: Unlike many PropTech companies that tie agents to a single brokerage, PLACE works with leading teams regardless of their brokerage affiliation, solving a major pain point for top talent.
- **Operational Offloading**: The platform handles back-office tasks (HR, accounting, legal, marketing) that are notoriously difficult for independent agents, allowing them to focus on client relationships.
- **All-in-One Ecosystem**: PLACE is building a vertically integrated consumer experience (mortgage, title, insurance, home improvement) that creates a "one-stop shop" and deepens the agent-to-consumer relationship.
- **Founder Expertise**: Founders Ben Kinney and Chris Suarez have built some of the most successful real estate organizations in the industry, giving the company deep domain credibility.

## Strategic Focus
- **Vertical Integration**: Expanding the consumer services model to include mortgage, title, escrow, insurance, and home improvement referral networks to capture more of the real estate transaction lifecycle.
- **Platform Expansion**: Deepening integrations across all stakeholders (agents, loan officers, title partners, inspectors, service providers) to create a unified homeownership experience.
- **Data & AI**: Recent hiring for a Senior Product Manager, AI & Data, and the acquisition of Remine (data analytics) signals a push toward data-driven tools for agents and consumers.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Active recruiting for both corporate HQ roles and on behalf of partner teams across the US.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: PLACE emphasizes a "Win Make Give" philosophy, a strong focus on teamwork, and a mission-driven approach to changing the real estate industry. The company has a high employer rating of 4.8/5.0 on LinkedIn (100 reviews), with particularly strong scores for Culture (4.9) and Work-Life Balance (4.8).
- **Benefits & Perks**:
    - Flexible paid time off and 9 paid holidays
    - Company-subsidized health, dental, vision, and long-term disability insurance
    - 401(k) program
    - Wealth-building and goal-setting curriculum
    - Real estate license sponsorship (opens doors to investing, savings, and referral income)
    - Partnership with 60+ nonprofits and a company 501(c)(3), "A Giving PLACE"
- **Work Policy**: The company is headquartered in Bellingham, WA, but has roles across the US and Canada. Specific roles may be remote, hybrid, or in-office; job postings should be checked for details.
- **Engineering/Product Culture**: The company is actively hiring for product management (AI & Data, Point of Sale), technical delivery, and engineering roles, suggesting a growing tech team working on modernizing real estate infrastructure.
