About the Role
Join Realtor.com® as a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, a full-time, hands-on individual contributor role within a high-performance engineering organization. You will be embedded within a cross-functional team owning critical segments of our consumer ecosystem, contributing independently across backend logic and rich frontend experiences.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain high-traffic features and partner integrations across the full vertical stack (backend, APIs, frontend, infrastructure, databases).
- Write well-tested, production-ready code and own and enforce test automation standards (unit, integration, E2E).
- Take full accountability for the operational quality, observability, and reliability of your services, including setting SLOs, monitoring, alerting, and incident response readiness.
- Ensure data integrity, secure engineering practices, and compliance-aware design when handling sensitive consumer, financial, and high-volume marketplace data.
- Leverage and champion the adoption of AI-assisted development tools to optimize development workflows.
- Drive project delivery with strong personal ownership, managing scope, timelines, and cross-functional dependencies.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and scaling distributed systems and high-traffic, consumer-facing products.
- Proven depth across backend services, RESTful/GraphQL APIs, modern frontend frameworks (React or equivalent), and cloud/DevOps.
- Strong experience with Node.js and microservice architectures.
- Experience building search, marketplace, listing-based, or financial services products (e.g., loan application flows, rate calculators, lender/partner API integrations).
- Direct ownership of production infrastructure, including observability, SLOs, and incident management.
- Strong project management skills to independently drive features from scoping through delivery in an agile, matrixed environment.
- Hands-on experience integrating AI-assisted development tools into your daily workflow.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS) and data pipelines (e.g., Snowflake, S3, Aurora, reverse ETL).
- Experience deploying and operating services on AWS using Kubernetes and containerization.
- Familiarity with federated GraphQL architecture.
- Understanding of financial data sensitivity and compliance considerations relevant to consumer financial products (e.g., RESPA, TILA awareness).
- Comfort working in a data- and metrics-driven engineering culture aligned with performance KPIs.
