The opportunity

We are a new type of institutional real estate platform providing the infrastructure to invest in real estate on a global basis. We are hiring a Senior Full-Stack Developer to own feature delivery end-to-end; from React TypeScript UIs to Python APIs, data models, and AWS integrations. You will be working closely with product and the founding team in a fast-moving, remote-friendly environment.

What you will work on

Frontend

• Build and refine flows for customer journeys incl. search, property detail, listing creation, buying/selling dashboards, negotiation and portfolio management user interfaces.
• Work with Ant Design (v6) and Ant Design Pro or similar React libraries and patterns in the manager app; align patterns with the customer portal where sensible.
• Integrate REST APIs via TanStack React Query (v5) or similar; manage client state with Zustand where appropriate.
• Implement responsive layouts, accessibility improvements, and consistent design tokens (Less/CSS modules as used in the repo).
• Collaborate with backend on API contracts, error states, loading UX, and Stripe / payment success flows.
• Participate in peer review, component reuse, and incremental migration away from legacy patterns where applicable.

Backend

• Design and implement APIs and services in FastAPI for the customer portal and admin manager API.
• Own domain areas such as property listings, search, offers and negotiation workflows, payments (Stripe), and post-offer services.
• Evolve the shared SQLAlchemy models and manage schema changes with Alembic migrations.
• Integrate AWS services: RDS PostgreSQL, S3 (documents and media), SES, SQS, and (where applicable) Lambda / API Gateway patterns.
• Collaborate on AI/LLM features: structured extraction from documents, Bedrock / LangChain-style pipelines, and safe handling of Pydantic response schemas.
• Improve reliability: observability, error handling, performance of listing search and offer endpoints, and production support.

• Solid experience with a major UI kit (Ant Design, MUI, or similar) and design handoff from Figma.
• Practical state management (React Query + light global state); understanding of caching and stale data.
• Experience shipping APIs consumed by SPAs; clear API design and versioning habits.
• Practical AWS experience (S3, IAM, RDS or equivalent); serverless or event-driven patterns a plus.
