About the Role

We’re looking for a Technical Lead to join our Agent Journey team — a cross-functional group focused on scaling the platforms and systems that power our agents’ day-to-day success. You’ll play a critical role in designing, building, and evolving core infrastructure across Salesforce (Propertybase), AWS, and other internal tools that fuel how opportunities flow into the business.

This is a hands-on leadership role — one where you’ll drive architecture, guide external vendors, contribute code, and help shape the technical roadmap. If you're passionate about scalable design, observability, and building systems that serve real users in a fast-moving environment, we want to talk.
