Sr. Software Engineer - Accounting

Description

About AppFolio

AppFolio's main product is the AppFolio Property Manager: web-based software for managers of apartment buildings to schedule maintenance, track their finances, and communicate with their tenants. We also make a companion app for tenants to pay their rent, buy renter's insurance, and request maintenance. We love our work because it helps millions of people with these everyday tasks. Our product vision sums it up nicely:

AppFolio creates a world where choosing, living in, owning, and managing communities feels magical and effortless, freeing people to thrive.

Since 2019, we have been energetically supercharging our products with AI. We have introduced features such as smart bill upload - SBE, a fully featured AI leasing agent - LISA, a LLM backed chat interface to support property managers using our product - Realm X, and recently an LLM backed workflow system - Realm Flows. These and other features enable us to provide experiences that allow our property managers to automate the mundane and focus more on the tasks that only they are capable of.

About The Culture

• Engineers work in small, focused, cross-functional teams comprised of a product manager, user-experience designer, quality-assurance engineer, and 3-6 software engineers.
• We work closely with customers. For example, engineers are encouraged to participate in customer calls!
• We've adopted some agile practices (pair programming, automated software tests, Jira / Trello / kanban boards, retrospective meetings, stand-up meetings), but we aren't dogmatic about agile/scrum. Teams are empowered to decide how they want to work.
• We work hard, but we encourage a healthy work-life balance.
• We support fully remote work, but we have very nice offices in Santa Barbara, CA and San Diego, CA.
