Senior Software Engineer

Dealpath•New York City, NY

About The Position

Senior Software Engineer Dealpath is the AI-powered operating system for institutional real estate investing — purpose-built to help the world's leading firms capture more opportunities, make faster decisions, and execute with precision. As a Senior Software Engineer here, you'll ship features that go directly into the workflows of firms managing trillions in real assets, using AI coding tools as a core part of how you build every day. We're looking for engineers who take ownership end-to-end, think about the problems they're solving for customers, and want to help shape the way the built world transacts.

Requirements

AI fluency — you direct tools like Claude Code or Cursor effectively: describe the problem clearly, generate code and tests, evaluate output critically, and iterate until it's right
Strong code review habits — you evaluate AI-generated code by the same standard as hand-written code, catching bugs, edge cases, security gaps, and performance issues before they ship
Product sense — you think about the user and the business, not just the implementation, and understand how your work connects to customer outcomes
Independence — you take ownership end-to-end, navigate ambiguity, and deliver without being managed step-by-step
Clear communication — written and verbal, you can articulate technical tradeoffs to engineers and non-technical partners alike
Mentorship orientation — you give feedback that builds judgment in others, not just fixes the immediate issue
CS fundamentals — solid grasp of data structures, system design, and the ability to reason about performance, reliability, and data integrity tradeoffs
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools — Cursor, Claude Code, or similar — in real production work
BS in Computer Science or Software Engineering, or 8+ years of industry experience
4+ years building web application back-ends — Ruby, Flask, Node, or similar
4+ years building web application front-ends — React, Angular, Vue, or similar
Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end and deliver without heavy oversight

Help the team grow — give real feedback to earlier-career engineers, share your approach, and make the people around you better
