• Lead a team of iOS and Android engineers through the full delivery lifecycle: scoping, estimation, architecture, implementation, testing, release, and post-release monitoring. • Own the mobile technical roadmap, including platform strategy, dependency management, CI/CD pipelines, release cadence, and store submission processes for both Apple App Store and Google Play. • Set and enforce engineering standards: code review discipline, automated testing coverage (unit, integration, UI/E2E), crash-free session targets, performance budgets, and accessibility compliance. • Drive a test-first culture. You are responsible for defining what "done" means and ensuring the team meets it. Expect to defend coverage thresholds and reject work that does not. • Operate as an AI-first engineer and require the same of your team. Use Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent for code generation, refactoring, test scaffolding, and review. • Establish team norms for prompt patterns, model selection, review of AI-generated output, and where AI tooling should and should not be trusted. • Partner with product, design, backend, QA, and DevOps to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete, shippable work. • Coach and grow engineers through 1:1s, pairing, structured feedback, and performance reviews. Hire when needed. • Be the escalation point for production incidents affecting mobile clients.

• Leadership and Direction: Act as the technical focal point, directing, supporting and coordinating the team's day-to-day activities on the project. • Implementation and Configuration: Develop and implement complex workflows within the IRM module. • Process Automation: Configure forms, business rules and necessary parameterizations to support the Risk and Compliance areas. • Data Architecture: Develop dashboards and strategic reports to monitor governance indicators. • Partnership with the Business: Actively support modeling of the client's risk, compliance and internal control processes, translating needs into technical solutions.

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. Here's the Pay Range At Apartment List, we carefully consider a variety of factors to determine compensation for each position, including the role, level, and work.
