The company leverages two arms: i) acquiring existing letting agencies, effectively buying its highly sticky, recurring revenue-type landlords portfolios, and then ii) building a top-notch technology to automate tenant management, payments, and post-rental property maintenance. The company seamlessly integrates AI services to automate all business processes within brick-and-mortar real estate agencies, integrating them into a tech-enabled digital letting platform in two months to radically improve the user experiences and increase efficiency of the business.\nWe’re a fast-growing, product-focused company, backed by top-tier investors and led by a team with deep experience in real estate, technology, and operations.\nPosition SummaryWe’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join one of our core domain teams — Tenant Find, Property Management, or Payments. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of business, product, architecture, and hands-on execution. You will be expected to understand how the domain works in practice, identify the highest-leverage opportunities for automation, shape the solution, and drive it through to production. You will work in a small, high-ownership team where exceptional engineers can have disproportionate impact. This role requires advanced day-to-day use of AI and LLMs as part of exploring problems, evaluating solution paths, accelerating implementation, and designing automation systems.\nKey Responsibilities\n\nDeep domain understanding\nGain a deep understanding of your assigned domain (Tenant Find, Property Management, or Payments) and identify the highest-leverage opportunities for automation. Understand real operational workflows, including legacy processes, manual work, local exceptions, and agency-specific variations. Determine what should be standardized and what should remain flexible while designing robust, scalable solutions.\n\nAutomation and AI-driven systems\nDesign, implement, and maintain systems that automate manual processes across acquired agencies. Apply advanced AI and agentic techniques pragmatically to improve decision quality, operational efficiency, and team leverage. Ensure automation reduces operational load, improves reliability, and enhances business margins.\n\nProduct and architectural collaboration\nPartner closely with product managers to frame problems, define solutions, and prioritize initiatives. Make architectural decisions grounded in operational reality rather than abstract models. Contribute to moving the system and the people around it toward better outcomes, balancing flexibility, scalability, and reliability.\n\nEnd-to-end ownership and impact\nTake full responsibility for outcomes, not just implementation. Deliver projects from concept to production rollout, continuously improving processes. Influence the overall direction of your domain, shape automation strategy, and materially improve business economics.\n\nQualifications and Preferred Background\nStrong engineering background with experience independently delivering complex systems from idea to production\n\nSolid experience with Node.js + TypeScript and React + TypeScript\n\nFamiliarity with modern TypeScript patterns, tRPC, Drizzle, and SQL (MySQL/Postgres), or ability to ramp up quickly\n\nAbility to design architectures for fast-changing products with real operational constraints\n\nHigh autonomy, ownership, and comfort making decisions under ambiguity\n\nProduct judgment and the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes\n\nStrong understanding of the modern AI landscape and agentic workflows, with pragmatic application beyond hype\n\nExperience in end-to-end delivery in domains with fragmented legacy workflows and operational complexity\n\nStrong communication skills and fluency in English\n\nHigher degree education\n\nStartup mentality: resilience, adaptability, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment\n\nCustomer-centric mindset: focus on delivering value to end-users or clients\n\nStrong problem-solving skills – ability to approach challenges logically and propose practical solutions\n\nCompensation and benefits\nThe role is fully remote, providing flexibility and enabling seamless collaboration with our geographically distributed team\n\nCompetitive salary with the potential for equity options based on performance, recognising exceptional contributions to our integration success\n\nWhat is it like being a Dwell-erFeel free to check out Dwelly Core Principles. That’s about what we believe in, how we operate and make decisions\nWhat we offer is not a fancy office or a static workplace. Instead, this is solving one of the world’s most complex problems in the largest consumer industry in the world (residential rentals), to improve the experience for over 30% of households (more than 5 million in the UK, and over 100 million including EU and US) that live in rental homes\nThis is about disrupting the largest, most antiquated industry in the world, with one of the strongest operational and technical teams that exist in the UK and the EU. We work hard, and we shoot for extremely ambitious results. But we want people to be proud of what they’ve built and be able to look back and say one day “hell yeah, that was me that did it all”\n\nCustomer obsession rather than competitive focus\n\nPassion for invention\n\nOperational excellence\n\nLong-term thinking\n\nBy applying for this position, you consent to the processing and storage of your personal data for recruitment purposes for up to 365 days, in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable data protection laws.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5771,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T08:32:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dwelly-staff-software-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dwelly-staff-software-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T06:45:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10823,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4374821},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4374821"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdwelly-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdwelly-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdwelly-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dwelly-staff-software-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdwelly-staff-software-engineer-2"}]}
