Staff Software Engineer - Search & Maps - US (Remote)

Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we're a Series C company on track to hit $100M in annual recurring revenue in the next six months. More than 87,000 real estate professionals, including over 30% of the WSJ Real Trends top 100 agents in the United States, use us to run and grow their business. The Opportunity We don't just use AI. We build with it, ship with it, and think with it. We're in the top 1% of companies applying AI effectively, not just to our products, but to how we build them. With an unlimited budget for Anthropic tokens, our engineers use AI agents to write, review, and ship production code every day. We're building toward a world where humans design systems and AI builds them, and we're already further along that path than almost anyone else. As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll be a technical leader at the center of this transformation. You'll shape platform architecture, drive AI-powered product delivery, and raise the bar for what a small, AI-augmented engineering team can accomplish. This is a role for someone who already lives in their terminal with AI, who has strong opinions about how AI changes system design, and who wants to help define what a next-generation engineering organization looks like. What You'll Do Own and scale a high-throughput search platform. Drive the architecture and performance of a real estate search system handling 1.5B+ monthly requests and hundreds of millions of listings, optimizing for latency, relevance, and reliability across Kafka and Elasticsearch. Deliver a world-class home search experience. Build and evolve the core home discovery experience across web and mobile—improving engagement, lead conversion, and agent workflows while maintaining fast, responsive interactions at scale. Build and evolve a highly reliable notifications platform. Own and extend a centralized system delivering tens of millions of emails per month and SMS traffic, ensuring high deliverability, reliability, and extensibility for product teams. Push forward AI-powered discovery experiences. Collaborate with teams to integrate LLMs and intelligent ranking into search and user workflows—improving how buyers and agents discover, filter, and engage with listings. What We're Looking For
