Detailed Description From Employer:

About ADVSR ADVSR is a real estate marketing platform designed for high-performing agents and developers around the world. We're building the connective infrastructure for prime and super-prime real estate - a space where reputation, trust, and visibility matter. With $15B+ of inventory already on the platform and partnerships forming globally, we're scaling fast. We're a small, driven team operating in a high-agency, high-ownership environment. We move fast, ship weekly, and build iteratively. Every decision you make here has an impact - which is exactly how we like it.

The Role We're looking for a hands-on Lead Software Engineer who can take ownership of our codebase and infrastructure, while collaborating across product, marketing, and sales to continuously improve the platform. This role replaces our outgoing engineering lead and will be the most senior technical person in-house. You'll be accountable for quality, performance, and delivery - while working with a trusted network of outsourced developers to ship features fast. We don't expect you to have all the answers on day one, but we do expect you to take the lead, communicate clearly, and figure things out quickly.
