Requirements

Engineering
Design, build, and ship production code as an active contributor to the Enabling Technologies engineering team, partnering with fellow engineers to increase the team's overall shipping velocity
Build and ship prototypes and proofs-of-concept to quickly validate new integration approaches and de-risk product decisions before committing engineering resources
Demonstrate proficiency in leveraging AI tools to accelerate both engineering delivery and product research
Technical Product Research & Specification
Partner with Product Leadership to turn high-level product vision into actionable technical opportunities, with a near-term focus on expanding the range of third-party access control devices we support
Conduct technical market research into access control hardware, protocols, and emerging standards (e.g., Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, BLE, Aliro), evaluating new device types and vendors for integration feasibility
Own early-stage technical discovery for new integrations — investigating protocol behavior, hardware constraints, and architectural tradeoffs — and translate findings into clear specs and requirements engineering can build against
Contribute to specs, technical documentation, and internal enablement materials that help the broader team understand new integrations
Cross-Functional Support
Support beta testing of new integrations and features
Provide light technical support to revenue and customer-facing teams as needed — occasional participation in customer interviews, technical qualification calls, or onsite visits — with the expectation that most direct customer and go-to-market engagement is owned by the Head of Product
Develop working knowledge of the rental real estate market and PointCentral's access control strategy to inform sound technical tradeoffs
4-6 years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production code
Working knowledge of SQL for database operations and Object-Oriented Programming to read and navigate codebase
Experience evaluating, designing or integrating with RESTful APIs, webhooks and event-driven architectures preferred
Genuine comfort working with hardware, devices, and physical appliances, and interest in learning access control protocols and standards
Demonstrated curiosity about the "why" behind what you build — prior experience or strong interest in product thinking, technical research, or spec writing is a plus, though formal product management experience is not required
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate ambiguous, high-level product direction into clear technical specifications
Comfortable with ambiguity
Willingness to occasionally support customer-facing activities (calls, onsite visits) as needed — this is not a primarily customer-facing role, but some exposure should be expected
Real estate, PropTech, or IoT experience is a plus but not required
B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field required
Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.
