About the Role

We're looking for a senior Rails developer to join our real estate technology team building ezHomeSearch — a full-featured property search platform that integrates with Multiple Listing Services (MLS), powers CRM workflows for agents and brokerages, and serves millions of property listings to consumers.

A key focus of this role is building and maintaining CRM integrations, including deep integration with our own product, Sure Send CRM. You'll be the bridge between our property search platform and the tools agents use daily to manage leads and client relationships.

You'll work alongside a junior developer, so mentorship and clear communication are part of the job. Our office is based out of eMYRge, a collaborative coworking space in Myrtle Beach, where you'll be expected to work on-site at least 50% of each week.

  • Experience with Elasticsearch or similar search infrastructure
  • Solid understanding of Sidekiq and background job design patterns (throttling, idempotency, job iteration for large datasets)
  • Experience writing and maintaining a comprehensive RSpec test suite (FactoryBot, Capybara, VCR)
  • Comfortable with Git workflows, code review, and shipping incremental PRs
  • Track record of mentoring junior developers — pairing, reviewing PRs, and helping set technical direction
  • Must be able to work on-site in Myrtle Beach, SC at least 50% of the time
  • Experience using AI agent development tools such as Claude Code or Codex.
  • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas at this time
