At Side, we believe everyone should own their path. 

Side partners with top-producing real estate professionals to help them own and operate their own boutique real estate companies, without the legal, regulatory, or operational complexity of running a traditional brokerage. As a pioneer in the Brokerage-as-a-Service model, Side provides a proprietary platform that increases efficiency, strengthens client relationships, and enables entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best — selling real estate and growing their businesses.

Headquartered in San Francisco and backed by more than $300 million from top-tier venture capital firms, Side is recognized as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in real estate. At Side, you’ll work alongside experienced industry leaders and world-class engineers to help shape the future of real estate and empower exceptional professionals to thrive as business owners.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Mid-Level Backend Software Engineer on the Brokerage Engineering team, you will build and maintain backend services that support critical payment and commission workflows. You will partner closely with Product, Customer Success, Brokerage Operations, Finance, and other engineering teams to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

This role is ideal for an engineer who can independently deliver well-scoped features, contribute to system design discussions, write high-quality code and tests, and collaborate effectively across functions. You should be comfortable using modern engineering tools, including AI-assisted development tools, to improve productivity while maintaining strong judgment, code quality, and security standards.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates should be located in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to work from the office at least two days per week.
Side is dedicated to working with the highest skilled people from the most inclusive talent pool feasible. We maintain that diversity in all aspects leads to positive change, solutions and innovation for our customers and career fulfillment for our employees. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply!

Side uses the E-Verify employment verification program.
