Role
Who you are

- Proven, in-depth experience building and maintaining complex applications using TypeScript and popular Javascript frameworks (e.g., React Native)
- Strong hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress or Playwright), and a knack for writing clean, reliable, and high-confidence tests
- A deep understanding of CI/CD principles and practical experience building and managing pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI or Jenkins
- Solid grasp of various testing methodologies, including unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing
- Experience with modern observability platforms like Datadog, including instrumenting code to send custom metrics and using that data to define and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
- A history of working effectively with QA teams and other engineers to build quality into the development process from the start
- The ability to analyze complex systems, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective, scalable solutions
- A data-driven approach to software development, with experience leveraging engineering metrics to identify bottlenecks and drive improvements in the development lifecycle
- Enthusiasm for exploring and applying modern, AI-driven development practices, frameworks and methodologies (e.g., BMAD-METHOD™)

- As a key member of our engineering team, you will be empowered to tackle some of our most significant technical challenges
- Directly impact the quality and stability of our products by helping us ship code more reliably and shortening the time it takes to detect and resolve issues in production
- Build and implement a comprehensive suite of automated end-to-end and regression tests to ensure a high-confidence release process
- Work closely with our QA team to bridge the gap between development and testing, ensuring quality is a shared responsibility
- Implement contract testing to ensure seamless and reliable communication between our applications and their internal service dependencies

Our take
Commercial real estate is a difficult business sector to plan for, especially for the largest firms managing huge portfolios of prime office space. Marketing, leasing, data analytics and retention efforts have traditionally required an array of different solutions, often poorly integrated with one another (if at all), and decision-making is often stymied by inaccurate reporting and inflexible, clunky tools.
VTS, a leading player in the commercial real estate tech sector, seeks to change this by unifying every real estate asset and function in a single platform. Combining marketing, asset management and reporting functions into a single interface, it also delivers data insights for decision makers to inform their investment and asset strategies.
VTS's user base has grown to over 45,000 commercial real estate firms including Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, and LaSalle Investment Management, and about 60% of the US's top quality office space is managed through its platform. Having raised a significant amount of funding it is investing heavily in research and development, sourcing strategic acquisitions and hiring additional talent.
