Apartment List

Role Description Apartment List is building a bold, renter-first social presence — and TikTok is where we're going all in. We're taking big creative swings on organic social: developing original series, experimenting with new formats, and showing up with a real point of view about renting, city life, and the realities people actually face. Social isn't an afterthought here. It's a core brand channel, and we’re investing in it accordingly. We're looking for a TikTok-native content creator who can do two things really well: make scroll-stopping content and show up in comments like a real person. You'll be the face and voice of Apartment List on TikTok, working closely with our Social Lead to shape what renter content looks and sounds like on the platform. If you've spent more time studying TikTok than any algorithm could explain: this role is for you. Qualifications - 2+ years creating short-form organic social video, either for yourself, a brand, or both - A portfolio or active social presence that shows your on-camera style and creative POV - Genuinely fluent in TikTok culture — the pacing, the humor, the unspoken rules, and what makes content feel human, not overly polished or “brand-y” - Understanding the difference between trend-chasing and trend-discernment - Love for experimenting with new formats and willingness to try something bold - Ability to balance humor, clarity, and credibility - Capability to take a creative direction and elevate it with your own ideas - View community management as fun, not a chore Requirements - Strong on-camera presence and storytelling instincts - Experience with short-form video editing tools (CapCut, platform-native tools, Canva, etc.) - Ability to self-shoot content (phone is great—this is about ideas and execution, not production value) - A sharp eye for what makes content scroll-stopping How to Apply - A link to your social media portfolio where we can see your on-camera work - What's a brand you think is actually doing TikTok right — and what are they getting that most brands miss? - What's a trend you jumped on early — and one you deliberately skipped? What was the call?

Role Description We need a builder who can do what most people do across an entire team: find a pain point worth solving, size it with data, build the product, and take it to market - with AI as the primary tool at every step. This is a role with the mandate and autonomy of a founding team member, backed by Apartment List's distribution, marketplace data, and profitability. The goal is a new business line that contributes meaningfully to revenue within 12 months - and a playbook that makes the next one faster. You'll report to our Head of Product and work alongside - not inside - our core Product, Design, and Engineering organizations. What You'll Do - Find the Opportunity - Live in the data: interview renters and partners, mine support tickets and search queries, and query the warehouse yourself to size pain points and revenue pools. - Build the opportunity map - 3–5 sized candidate business lines, backed by data and ranked by revenue potential, strategic fit, and speed to validation. - Kill weak ideas in writing and commit to strong ones with conviction. - Build the Product - Ship v1s yourself using AI-native development workflows - coding agents, automated testing, rapid iteration across the full stack. - Move from prototype to production: instrument everything from day one, ship behind flags, iterate from live usage. - Leverage the Apartment List platform where it accelerates you; make the explicit case to diverge where it doesn't. - Give feedback on our build processes and AI tooling - you're the guinea pig for what AI-assisted development looks like at scale, and what you learn should make the broader engineering org faster. - Craft the Go-to-Market - Own positioning, pricing, and the path to first revenue. - Design distribution through our existing surface area - millions of renter sessions, established partner relationships - as well as new channels. - Build the funnel, measure it honestly, and iterate until the unit economics work. - Deliver Business Outcomes - Own a revenue target, not a feature roadmap. Report progress in business terms: users, conversion, revenue, margin. - Make the scale/staff/kill decision with data, and propose the operating model for what comes next. - Document the playbook so the next venture starts faster - and mentor others across Product and Engineering on how to build with AI effectively. Qualifications - Product + engineering range: you've operated as a product leader and you ship production software yourself. You can point to real products you built solo or near-solo, the tradeoffs you made, and what happened after launch. - AI-native builder: you build with AI daily - coding agents, evals, AI-powered product experiences. You can demo your workflow and point to shipped output, not slides. - Data self-sufficiency: you write your own SQL, size your own markets, and design your own experiments. You change your mind when the data disagrees with you. - GTM craft: you've owned positioning, pricing, and distribution - and you've closed first customers or distribution partners yourself. - Founder track record: you've taken a product from zero to first revenue and can talk concretely about what worked and what didn't. - Extreme ownership: you ask for context and a goal, not permission and headcount. You treat GTM and analytics as part of your job, not a handoff. Requirements - Consumer-platform scale experience: shipping at one of the world's largest consumer platforms, where engagement, monetization, and partner ecosystems operated at hundreds of millions of users. - Marketplace or two-sided product exposure: you understand how value flows between two sides of a market and where new revenue hides in that flow. - Business fluency: unit economics and P&L thinking come naturally; formal business training is a plus. Benefits - Founder-grade canvas without founder-grade risk. Real distribution, proprietary data, and a profitable balance sheet from day one. - No fundraising pressure - we operate with the urgency of a company that needs to win the next 24 months. - Competitive salary, bonus, and equity aligned to experience and market benchmarks.

Role Description We need a seasoned engineering leader who is equal parts technical builder, people mentor, and strategic operator. You’ll own engineering vision and execution for our renter and partner platforms, lead a team of ~60 engineers, and work closely with Product, Design, Data, ML, and Marketing leaders. This is not a steward role; our Engineering leaders are in the work, not above it. AI is collapsing competitive moats quarter by quarter, and we are rebuilding how we ship, what we ship, and the bar we hold ourselves to. As the engineering leader, you’ll elevate individual contributor growth, accelerate our adoption of AI across development workflows and product experiences, and build the systems and culture that allow engineering to be both fast and exceptional. What You’ll Do - Accelerate Building with AI - Drive adoption of AI-powered development tools (AI-assisted coding, automated testing, code review, agentic systems) to multiply engineering velocity. - Partner with Product and ML to embed AI into core product experiences — search, matching, personalization, and pricing. - Foster a culture of experimentation; ensure frontier capabilities show up in shipped products, not slide decks. - Define Technical Vision and Strategy - Lead a clear engineering vision aligned to our product, personalization, and marketplace strategy. - Ensure architecture enables rapid iteration, scalability, and reliability at scale. - Partner with the executive team to set strategic priorities through the lens of engineering capability. - Build and Lead a High-Performing Org - Set a clear performance bar. - Run rigorous calibration. Act decisively on underperformance. - Develop engineering managers and identify future leaders early; invest in succession planning. - Own recruiting strategy to attract and retain top engineering talent. - Create systems and rituals that drive velocity, collaboration, and accountability. - Elevate Quality, Velocity, and Individual Growth - Champion best practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, incident response, and architectural review. - Ship fast, fix fast, raise the bar every sprint. - Foundations earn their seat by enabling speed, not by slowing it down. - Evolve our platform and infrastructure for scalable, reliable, performant experiences. - Build clear career ladders and invest deeply in coaching, mentorship, and skill development across all levels. - Sweats the details: you believe the gap between a good product and a great one lives in the transitions, the edge cases, and the moments most people skip. You protect that gap. - Strengthen Cross-Functional Alignment - Serve as a strategic thought partner to Product, Design, Data, and ML leaders. - Bring technical feasibility and opportunity into every decision-making conversation. - Bring genuine appreciation for craft, interaction quality, and the details that create user delight. Partner with Design not just as a feasibility check, but as a co-owner of the experience. Qualifications - 8+ years leading engineering teams, including managing managers and scaling orgs of 40+ engineers in fast-paced, high-growth environments. - Strong technical foundation: modern web technologies, iOS & Android apps, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, data-intensive applications. - AI-native track record: shipped AI-native products to production at consumer scale; drove measurable productivity gains from AI tooling — percent AI-assisted code, cycle time, defect rate — and can cite the numbers. - Performance management track record: you’ve raised the bar, made hard calls, and can talk about what changed afterward. - Marketplace or consumer product experience: built and scaled two-sided marketplaces or high-traffic consumer products where conversion, retention, and UX are critical. - People-first leadership: built cultures where ICs thrive, grow, and retain — and you know retention without a bar is just tenure. - Business-minded: connects engineering investment to business outcomes; makes smart tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scope. - Deep design partnership experience: you’ve worked closely with design leaders to ship products where the quality of micro-interactions, motion, and detail were treated as non-negotiable, not nice-to-have.
