Responsibilities

• Maintain our ongoing business segments, including Community Association, Commercial, NYC and etc

• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance
• Work closely with and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, product owners, and designers.

Adopt our engineering best practices, provide and receive in-depth code reviews, and participate in healthy debate as a team. Evangelize your own expertise and experience among your teammates and the rest of the organization

Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software and rapidly fix bugs as they come up
