About the Role
We’re looking for a Technical Lead to join our Agent Journey team — a cross-functional group focused on scaling the platforms and systems that power our agents’ day-to-day success. You’ll play a critical role in designing, building, and evolving core infrastructure across Salesforce (Propertybase), AWS, and other internal tools that fuel how opportunities flow into the business.
This is a hands-on leadership role — one where you’ll drive architecture, guide external vendors, contribute code, and help shape the technical roadmap. If you're passionate about scalable design, observability, and building systems that serve real users in a fast-moving environment, we want to talk.

- Define and enforce best practices across code quality, testing, automation, and DevOps workflows
- Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and growing internal technical talent as we scale our engineering capabilities

- Strong production-awareness — able to design for scale, uptime, and quick diagnostics
- Committed to testability, maintainability, and streamlined deployments
