We connect your work to real impact, invest in your growth, and welcome you to feel at home - because care isn't just something we say, it's something you experience.\nWho We Are\nInvitation Homes owns and operates homes in great neighborhoods across 16+ top U.S. markets. We continue to innovate with smart home technology, an industry-leading maintenance app, and other lifestyle-enhancing services that make leasing easier than owning.\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a Software Engineer IV who is still a hands-on engineer at heart - writing code, making hard technical calls, and shipping - while also helping define what excellent looks like for the team. Our engineering teams build the technology at the center of the resident experience: personalized resident experiences, service tools, and the operational systems that residents and associates depend on every day. This role maps to what many organizations call a tech lead or senior engineer, with the majority of your time spent as a practitioner and a meaningful portion invested in the people and practices around you. From here, you’ll have a clear path to Staff Engineer on the individual contributor track, or Engineering Manager if you’re drawn to people leadership.\nWhat you'll do day-to-day:\nRemain a hands-on engineer: write code, contribute to design, and ship alongside your team.\nArchitect solutions for your team’s most ambiguous and challenging problems, and shape the technical direction and vision for your team’s systems.\nImprove team efficiency by identifying pain points and resolving them - through automation, reducing toil, and tackling tech debt.\nDelegate low-risk technical decisions to engineers on your team, and own the high-risk ones yourself.\nLead and actively contribute to planning, reviews, and retrospectives as both a practitioner and a voice for engineering quality.\nServe as an authority on your team’s systems; ensure your team understands engineering standards and why they exist, and foster a culture of writing things down.\nBalance current delivery needs against longer-term implications, and extend your influence through cross-team technical challenges, shared engineering practices, and Special Interest Groups (SIGs).\nCommunicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and collaborate across teams to unblock delivery, align on direction, and build buy-in.\nArbitrate and de-escalate technical disagreements with empathy and clarity; advocate strongly for your position, then commit fully once a decision is reached.\nMentor engineers, champion a blameless culture, help improve engineering processes, and contribute to hiring through technical interviews - setting the tone as a culture carrier with a bias toward shipping working software.\nWhat You Bring\nWe’re looking for a seasoned engineer who combines deep technical ownership with a passion for mentoring and raising the quality of those around them - someone who cares more about depth of thinking, adaptability, and the drive to keep learning than familiarity with any specific tool.\nRequired Qualifications\n6+ years of professional software development experience; 3+ years in a senior engineering role preferred\nDemonstrated ability to design and architect solutions for complex, distributed systems\nA track record of mentoring engineers and raising the quality of those around you\nA commitment to continuous improvement - in your own craft, your team’s capabilities, and the engineering practices around you\nStrong communication skills - written and verbal - with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences\nExperience collaborating across teams and navigating technical disagreements constructively\nHands-on experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD practices, and modern iterative software delivery\nPreferred: experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS), REST APIs and event-driven architectures, infrastructure as code, and Salesforce\n\nEducation/Certifications:\n\nA degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience\nWhy Invitation Homes\nWe believe when our residents thrive, our associates thrive. Here, you're not just filling a role - you're building a career at a company that invests in your growth and welcomes you for who you are.\nWhat's in it for you\nCompetitive pay and annual bonus program for all associates\nGenerous PTO including vacation accrual, sick time, volunteer time, and standard and floating holidays\n401(k) with company matching contributions\nCasual dress code and a genuinely great work environment\nTeam events, celebrations, and a culture that values connection\nEmployee Resource Groups: Together with Women, Asian Alliance, Black Collective, Juntos, Gen Next, and Open Invitation\nCareer growth paths and learning opportunities - we promote from within\nSalary Range\nThe salary range for this position is: $105,000.00 - $182,000.00, plus individuals may be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus.
