Hi, We’re AppFolio.
We’re innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We’re more than just a software company — we’re a cloud-based Software company that creates products to make our customers’ lives easier. We’re revolutionizing the way people do business, and we want your ideas, your enthusiasm, and your passion to help us keep on innovating.
We love where we work, and you can, too.
On our Smart Maintenance team, we work to make it easier than ever for Property Managers to give a quality maintenance experience to their residents. Property Managers who use our Smart Maintenance program can respond to maintenance requests faster and with better results, helping their Residents have a better overall quality of life.
Who we are looking for:
We are hiring a mid-level Full Stack Software Engineer I to join our Smart Maintenance team and contribute to our rapid product development pace. We work collaboratively to set the technical direction for our SaaS products, developing easy-to-use solutions for our customers. Our engineers find deep satisfaction in building things that customers actually need. We focus on delivering value to customers and working closely with them to understand their pain points.
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:
Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems
Formulate, implement, and evaluate algorithms and database queries to support SaaS scalability and stability.
Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum 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.
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…
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 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 Ruby and Ruby on Rails
Experience with some other areas of our tech like React, Redux, AWS, SOA
Familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
Familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
