Property Meld's vision is to radically improve how the property management industry handles property maintenance. If you've ever had a maintenance issue at your housing rental, you know how much of a pain it can be to get it fixed quickly and reliably. This pain is felt by everyone involved, from the resident to the coordinator to the technician doing the actual repairs. It doesn't have to be this way.

Our mission is threefold:

1. Provide a positive experience for all participants in the property maintenance process 2. Intelligently improve efficiency

3. Deliver transparency and a sense of control

We’re a small but growing company with funding and hundreds of happy customers. Over the past five years, we’ve homed in on the challenges our customers face when running their maintenance department, namely, running an efficient maintenance department requires cooperation, communication, and the ability to see through the fog to focus on what actually matters. The stakes are high for our customers. A bad maintenance experience is the number one reason renters move out when they otherwise wouldn’t have. If property repairs take too long or cost too much property managers are on the hook both financially and legally. With over 30 million units for rent in the United States alone the opportunity is sizeable.

Your contributions will be critical to the success of our customers and Property Meld. Our core product is a multitenant web application that services hundreds of thousands of users. You’ll occasionally wear multiple hats and will need to quickly come up to speed on various parts of the application. You can expect to be responsible for the entire lifecycle of a given project –that is, engineering design, estimation, development, deployment, and monitoring. We’re pragmatic about engineering decisions and prioritize rapidly and consistently delivering value to our customers above all else.

You’ll have the freedom to choose how to solve problems, given the constraints of the business and infrastructure. With this freedom, you’ll be expected to make sound decisions and to swiftly iterate on them until they are either successful or we’ve learned a new direction would be more prudent. Many of the challenges you will encounter won’t have any low hanging fruit left. As a result, you’ll need to design and implement solutions that have a higher degree of difficulty than initial glance might suggest.

  • - Scaling, hardening, and adding to our partner integrations
  • - Adding features to improve the workflow for maintenance coordinators
  • - Improving the CI/CD deployment pipeline
