This isn’t just a leadership role—it’s a chance to shape the future of a company’s technology landscape. You’ll lead the development of modern, consumer-facing solutions, consolidate legacy systems, and guide a talented engineering team through a full-scale transformation.

You will join at the start of this journey with the ability to shape and impact the architectural design, partner with the product management teams, maybe even do some coding yourself and select internal software engineers to bring on to your team and hire new folks and build out your team.

This is mostly a remote position, where candidates in the Kansas City Metropolitan area and nearby locations will have preference.

• A technical visionary who brings fresh thinking and modern frameworks to legacy systems.

• A strong communicator and business partner who can translate complex ideas into actionable plans.

• A culture builder who believes in creating a high-performing, remote-friendly engineering team.

• Experience with .NET, Java, Flutter, React, and cloud-native architectures.

• Bonus points for experience in real estate tech, cost modeling, or enterprise SaaS.

Top 3 Must-Haves

1. Technical Depth – You bring innovative solutions and know how to modernize legacy systems.

2. Leadership & Influence – You can lead a team and partner with senior stakeholders.

3. Culture Champion – You know how to build and scale a strong engineering culture.

What’s in It for You

• Be the domino hire that sets the tone for a new era of tech transformation.

• Work with executive-level visibility and influence.

• Join a mission-driven team backed by the strength and stability of a successful parent company.

• Enjoy flexibility with remote work options and a preference for candidates in Kansas City.
