Full Stack Software Engineer

About Us:

Founded in 2019, Landing was created by some of the best minds in modern entrepreneurship, has been backed by some of the top venture capitalists in the U.S., and our team is committed to making it easier to flexibly live or stay almost anywhere.

Our network of homes across the US provides people the ability to live or stay where they want, on the terms that make sense to them. We offer fully-furnished apartments, a streamlined application process, and custom, all-inclusive amenities that allow for resting easy and moving freely.

About the Role:

The engineering team is looking to add a Full Stack Software Engineer to our growing team. Member experience is a top priority for Landing, and it all begins with how members interact with our technology product. You’ll help push forward new features and improve the experience for both Landing members and internal teams.

This role will contribute to our core product platforms, building APIs and systems to create delightful experiences for our members and our team. In your first week you will push code to production, and in your first six months you will own one large feature from start to finish. We operate with an emphasis on ownership and autonomy.

• Develop features and improvements to the Landing product in a well-tested and performant way
• Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a best-in-class consumer facing mobile app. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review
• Consistently ship features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members 
• Collaborate with the team on larger projects
• Help identify areas of improvements in the code base within (and across) teams and contribute to make our software better

What You Need:

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Ruby/Rails, Rust and/or Python
• React or component based Javascript/Typescript experience
• Solid understanding of client server interactions
• Experience optimizing SQL queries
• Experience writing unit tests and testable code
