The product centralizes and standardizes the real estate offer and negotiation process for agents, buyers, and sellers — replacing email and paper with automated status notifications, term negotiation, contract generation, and e-signing. The product also aggregates offer-level data to surface market insights (loan program performance, offer term strategies, listing strategies, multi-offer round structures). This role sits at the intersection of transactional backend work and data-driven product features. Responsibilities * Design, build, and maintain backend services for the platform using Django/DRF * Model and maintain relational data for offers, negotiations, contracts, and participant roles (agents, buyers, sellers) * Build and maintain REST APIs powering web and notification workflows (status updates, term negotiation, contract generation triggers) * Work with PostgreSQL (via psycopg2) for data storage and reporting queries supporting aggregate offer analytics * Implement business logic for multi-party negotiation flows and status/notification automation * Collaborate with the backend team of a related product on shared e-signing and document generation flows * Write tests, participate in code review, support deployment and monitoring
Required skills * 5+ years of commercial backend development experience * Strong Python and Django, with solid Django REST Framework (DRF) experience * PostgreSQL, psycopg2, comfortable writing and optimizing SQL * Experience designing relational schemas for multi-party, stateful workflows (e.g. negotiations, approvals, transactions) * REST API design and integration experience * Git-based workflow, CI/CD familiarity * Comfortable working independently in a small, fast-moving product team
Nice to have * Experience with proptech, fintech, or marketplace/negotiation-style products * Experience with data aggregation/analytics features (reporting, dashboards, or BI-adjacent backend work) * Familiarity with notification systems (email/SMS/push) and automated status workflows * Prior experience integrating with or alongside a C#/.NET backend (cross-product integration) * Exposure to US real estate transaction processes (useful for domain context, not mandatory)
