Full Job Description

Who We Are Perchwell is the modern real estate listings platform built for agents to search smarter, collaborate better, and close deals faster. We are building the future of residential real estateʼs critical listings infrastructure: a platform where market  research and client collaboration converge. Our modern architecture enables continuous innovation at a pace legacy systems cannot match, with AI-powered features and mobile-first capabilities designed for how agents actually work. As consumer expectations and technology evolve, Perchwell remains focused on our core vision:  empowering real estate professionals with the most intelligent, data-driven, and connected platform in the industry. Backed by leading venture capital firms including Lux Capital and Founders Fund, along with strategic partnerships with some of the country's top Multiple Listing Services (MLSs), Perchwell represents the first major new platform to enter the listings technology market in decades. This unique combination of institutional investment and deep industry alignment provides both the resources and market validation needed to transform the multi-trillion dollar residential real estate industry. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Perchwell is expanding the engineering leadership behind our next-generation platform. We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead two teams simultaneously: a core platform team building the foundational infrastructure of the new platform, and a customer-facing feature team building the product layer that agents and brokerages interact with daily. This is one of the most consequential roles on our engineering team right now - you'll have real ownership over both teams at a pivotal moment, as we build against aggressive timelines and scale the organization around a platform that doesn't yet exist anywhere else in the industry. This is not a people-management-only role. We need someone who brings genuine technical depth, gets into the weeds when the team hits har
