About us:

• We’re a small team focused on opening up the old school real estate world.
• Our goal is to build the best place for people to browse, shop for, and buy homes.
• We employ an iterative approach to building products and deploy multiple times a day.
• We have a big vision.
• We believe in hiring smart people and giving them the support and flexibility to succeed.
• We are a 100% distributed, remote team.

We’re looking to hire the best people wherever they are in the world. You should be awesome at working remotely and available to join our daily standup at 9:30 am PST. We’ve had remote developers since 2011, and are seasoned veterans of working with a distributed team, across multiple time zones.

Estately seeks to increase the ratio of women and underrepresented minorities in software engineering and development; we encourage women and people from underrepresented groups to apply for this position.

Estately is striving to be a diverse team, made of and built by people with different backgrounds and lifestyles. We don’t discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, religion, color, or any other group.

Responsibilities

What you'll do: 

• You’ll collaborate to build, maintain and streamline our large application, working with Ruby, Rails, Postgres and more. Some examples of the work you’ll be doing include the following:
• Working closely with product and design to define and implement new features
• Continually improving our fetching code, which grabs data on millions of properties throughout each day
• Integrating various APIs to give our customers even more info about homes
• Making our website a more delightful experience
• You’ll have both the opportunity and the independence to tackle all kinds of challenges: some days you’ll work on refactoring a legacy part of the app to make it do something new, and on others, you’ll build a brand new, greenfield feature.

About You:

• You have experience architecting, building, and maintaining reliable web applications that serve hundreds of requests per second.
