Today the real estate closing process is confusing, complex, and filled with unfair costs to the consumer. These consumers are left without an advocate, nor do they feel like they know enough about the process to advocate for themselves. To make things worse, the real estate industry has been slow to deliver a customer-first experience or cost-saving automation, and homebuyers and sellers are left with piles of paperwork and fees they don’t understand. At Empora, we’re a team of technologists and real estate experts passionately delivering transparency, ease, and equity to this outdated, $36 billion industry.

Our mission is to make it easy to buy and sell real estate.

We are deeply connected to making the closing process fair, transparent, and empowering. We believe in fast delivery, smart implementation, and constant iteration to solve problems and delight customers. Empora team members enjoy significant autonomy while making meaningful impact through innovative technical solutions, and give individuals the power to drive their own projects and results. If you’re energized by the impact you can make at Empora, we’d love to talk to you!

• Full Stack Development: Work across our entire technology stack to design, develop, and deploy solutions that meet our business requirements.

• Quality and Maintainability: Embrace and advocate for a culture of comprehensive code test coverage to ensure the reliability and maintainability of our systems. You will be responsible for writing and maintaining unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to validate system functionality.

• System Architecture Design: Lead the creation of technical design documents and product design documents, guiding the team in making informed architectural decisions that align with our business goals.

• Collaboration and Mentorship: Foster a culture of collaboration by actively engaging in learning, teaching, mentoring, and pairing with other engineers. Sharing expertise and knowledge to help grow the skills of the team.

• Engage with End Users: Shadow and learn from Empora’s operation team who are primary users of the application being developed.

What we are looking for:

• Full stack experience with proficiency in technologies including Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Heroku, and AWS.

• Proven experience in building high-quality and maintainable systems in any programming language.

• Experience in modern web application development, including proficiency in JavaScript and CSS, to create high quality interfaces.

• Strong understanding of testing methodologies and a commitment to writing comprehensive code test coverage.

• Experience in web application development with a solid grasp of JavaScript and CSS.

• Demonstrated ability to design scalable and resilient system architectures.
