About

the Role

We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer to strengthen our real estate MLS data platform squad. You will build robust data pipelines and backend services that power:

• High-quality MLS and property data across 400+ feeds
• Property discovery and search on agent websites
• Personalized listing recommendations and other data-driven features
• Conversational and operational AI agents that streamline internal workflows
• The evaluation and monitoring infrastructure that keeps these systems improving over time

Who is the Data Platform Squad?

We make sure clean, reliable MLS listing records and user click‑stream data are always available to our products and customers. Our current team—a mix of data engineers and software engineers—owns the entire listing pipeline: ingestion, transformation, and normalization across 400+ MLS feeds and other sources.

We also extend the platform to capture user‑activity data for user‑facing features such as personalized listing recommendations, and we build AI agents that automate feed onboarding and listing‑issue triage, reducing manual effort for internal teams and clients and shortening the path from data to business impact.

What You’ll Do Technical leadership & architecture

• Own the end‑to‑end architecture for MLS and property data: streaming and batch pipelines, microservices, storage layers, and APIs
• Design and evolve event‑driven, Kafka‑based data flows that power listing ingestion, enrichment, recommendations, and AI use cases
• Drive technical design reviews, set engineering best practices, and make high‑quality tradeoffs around reliability, performance, and cost

Backend, data & platform engineering

• Design, build, and operate backend services (Python or Java) that expose listing, property, and recommendation data via robust APIs and microservices
• Implement scalable data processing with Spark or Flink on EMR (or similar), orchestrated via Airflow and running on Kubernetes where applicable
• Champion observability (metrics, tracing, logging) and operational excellence (alerting, runbooks, SLOs, on‑call participation) for data and backend services

Streaming & batch data pipelines

• Build and maintain high‑volume, schema‑evolving streaming and batch pipelines that ingest and normalize MLS and third‑party data
• Ensure data quality, lineage, and governance are built into the platform from the start—supporting analytics, AI/ML, and customer‑facing features
• Partner with analytics engineering and data science to make data discoverable and usable (e.g., semantic layers, documentation, self‑service tooling)

AI agents & data products

• Collaborate with ML/AI engineers to design and scale AI agents that automate MLS feed onboarding, listing discrepancy triage, and other operational workflows
• Work with frameworks such as Pydantic
  
  AI, Lang Chain, or similar to integrate LLM‑based agents into our data and service architecture
• Help define and implement evaluation, logging, and feedback loops so these agents and data‑driven products continuously improve

Cross‑functional impact & mentorship

• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to shape the roadmap for our data platform, MLS capabilities, and AI‑powered experiences
• Translate ambiguous business and customer problems into clear technical strategies and phased delivery plans
• Mentor and unblock other engineers; elevate the overall level of technical decision‑making on the team via pairing, reviews, and design guidance

What You’ll Bring Experience & scope

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including owning production systems…
