Description

Who we are looking for:

Are you passionate about expanding housing opportunities and making a real impact on the affordable housing crisis in the U.S.? We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team responsible for bringing this mission to reality.

Mixed Portfolio is an enormously complex domain, comprising both Student Housing and Affordable housing. The Mixed Portfolio Foundations team is the cornerstone of both of these areas, building a strong foundation to accelerate these teams. As an Engineering Manager, you will play a key role in shaping our solutions, leading a team to build scalable, intuitive software that empowers property managers and residents alike.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced engineering leader who thrives in both technical execution and people development. You will foster an environment of collaboration, set the technical direction, and ensure we deliver high-quality, impactful software that supports thousands of businesses and residents. If you're excited about building world-class software while making a tangible difference in housing accessibility, we’d love to hear from you.

Your impact:

• Lead, coach, and support a small, highly effective team of 5 passionate engineers to foster a high-performance culture of excellence.
• Take a hands-on approach to the entire software development lifecycle: perform day-to-day project management to ensure successful, on-time releases; demonstrate ownership and accountability for the team’s delivery.
• Build trusting relationships and collaborate across departments to execute on company strategy.
• Set the technical direction for the team, drive the evolution of the systems architecture, and make appropriate technology choices. Guide the team in ensuring we are set up architecturally for long term success.
• Manage the delivery of software using Agile best practices including continuous delivery, continuous integration, and test-driven development.
• Promote a SMART codebase (Simple, Maintainable, Agile, Refactored, and Tested) for a SAFE product (Secure, Available, Fast, and Easy).
• Implement processes and metrics that allow the team to be efficient and focused and to ensure that products are market-ready.
• Enable a culture of creativity, collaboration, speed, innovation, and excellence while continuously elevating the quality and caliber of our engineering organization.
• Ensure the team fully understands the goals and objectives of AppFolio as a company and how their work fits into the bigger picture.
• Foster a fun and engaging team culture—keep our tradition of daily standup games alive, where engineers compete for glory (and a free lunch), while building camaraderie.

Skills & Knowledge:

• BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline
• Proven experience leading engineering teams during the evolution of the Engineering function from start-up to mid lifecycle.
• 2+ years of successfully hiring, directly managing, coaching, and retaining world-class engineers.
• 5+ years of demonstrated experience leading and contributing to the design, development, delivery, and maintenance of large-scale and high-performance platforms.
• Well-versed not only in the typical Agile rituals and practices - but also the modern, genuinely agile practices of rapid experimentation and continuous delivery of value.
• Proficiency with most areas of our tech like Ruby, React, and SQL.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven ability to build productive cross-functional relationships and motivate team members. Must have a positive, can-do attitude and value collaboration.
• The ability to thrive with high levels of personal initiative, autonomy, and responsibility
