Description

AppFolio is more than a company. We're a community of dreamers, big thinkers, problem solvers, active listeners, and multipliers. At every opportunity, we set the pace while delivering innovation built to carry real estate into the future. One in which every experience feels effortless, yet meaningful. Where customers are empowered to take on any opportunity. We show up as one team, connected by our values to be a force for good. Because together, we have the power to create extraordinary outcomes for our customers, our communities, and ourselves.

Who we are looking for:

Are you a technologist, builder, and lifelong learner? We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead and contribute alongside software engineers within our Accounting product domain.

AppFolio is building the platform where real estate comes to do business, and Accounting is the foundation that powers this leading software platform in the fast-growing space of property management. The engineering work we do falls under two general categories: product development, helping build and evolve the property management accounting experience, as well as platform development, enabling feature development at scale. This engineering leader will manage and develop two small but mighty teams of truly world-class engineers responsible for evolving our user experiences and helping our customers thrive.

The ideal candidate we're looking for is not only passionate about servant leadership and personal development but can also provide on-the-ground support helping their teams solve complex technical challenges and maintain a high technical bar, someone who is happiest in a highly collaborative environment working closely with partners in Product and UX to put the customer first, applying Agile and Lean UX techniques on cross-functional product development teams to build an innovative product for our customers.

Your impact:
  • Lead, coach, and support 6-8 passionate engineers, across two teams, to foster a high-performance culture of excellence.
  • Take a hands-on approach to the entire software development lifecycle: ensure technical excellence and demonstrate ownership and accountability for the team's delivery.
  • Build trusting relationships and collaborate across departments to execute on company strategy.
  • Collaborate with their Director and fellow Engineering Managers to set the technical direction for the broader org.
  • Manage the delivery of software using Agile best practices including continuous delivery, continuous integration, and test-driven development.
  • Promote a SMART codebase (Simple, Maintainable, Agile, Refactored, and Tested) for a SAFE product (Secure, Available, Fast, and Easy).
  • Enable a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and excellence while continuously elevating the quality and caliber of our engineering-centric learning organization.
  • Ensure the team fully understands the goals and objectives of AppFolio as a company and how their work fits into the bigger picture.


Skills & Knowledge:
  • BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams during both standard feature development and large scale rearchitectures.
  • 2+ years of successfully hiring, directly managing, coaching, and retaining world-class engineers.
  • 5+ years of demonstrated experience leading and contributing to the design, development, delivery, and maintenance of large-scale and high-performance platforms.
  • Well-versed not only in the typical Agile rituals and practices - but also the modern, genuinely agile practices of rapid experimentation and continuous delivery of value.
  • Proficiency with most areas of our tech like Ruby, React, and SQL.
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven ability to build productive cross-functional relationships and motivate team members. Must have a positive, can-do attitude and value collaboration.
  • The ability to thrive with high levels of personal initiative, autonomy, and responsibility
  • Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
