My background leading engineers while remaining hands-on with scalable, customer-facing systems aligns strongly with your need for a leader who can improve search relevance, reliability, and user experience at significant scale. I would bring a practical, systems-oriented approach to TypeScript and Node.js services, cloud-native operations, incident readiness, and cross-functional roadmap execution. I am especially motivated by the opportunity to help an AI-augmented team deliver better discovery experiences for real-estate professionals and buyers. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can help build, mentor, and lead a high-performing Maps & Search organization. Copy Sample interview questionsHow would you improve search relevance for a real-estate marketplace while protecting latency and reliability?I would begin with clear relevance objectives tied to user outcomes, such as saved searches, listing engagement, lead conversion, and successful filter usage. I would instrument the query funnel, identify high-impact failure modes, and use offline evaluation plus controlled experiments to validate ranking changes. The architecture should preserve strict latency budgets through caching, efficient retrieval, feature precomputation, and safe fallbacks. Describe how you would lead a team operating a search service handling approximately one billion requests per month. I would establish measurable SLOs for latency, availability, relevance quality, and error rates, then ensure dashboards, alerts, capacity plans, and incident playbooks support them. I would assign clear ownership across retrieval, indexing, ranking, and client experiences while maintaining regular technical reviews. I would also prioritize resilience work and run post-incident reviews that produce concrete, tracked improvements. How do you remain hands-on while effectively managing and developing engineers? I stay close to architecture, code reviews, design discussions, and the most consequential technical risks without becoming a bottleneck for routine implementation. I use 1:1s, clear expectations, regular feedback, and growth plans to help engineers increase ownership. My role is to create context, remove obstacles, make sound trade-offs, and develop technical leaders who can independently drive outcomes. What is your approach to introducing AI tools and LLM-powered capabilities into the software development lifecycle and product? I treat AI as an accelerant that requires clear quality controls rather than as a replacement for engineering judgment. For development workflows, I establish guidance around secure use, review standards, test coverage, and verification of generated code. For product search features, I start with narrow, measurable use cases such as query understanding or ranking assistance, evaluate quality and cost carefully, and roll out gradually with fallback behavior. How would you align product, design, and engineering when roadmap priorities are ambiguous or changing quickly? I would create a shared view of customer problems, business goals, technical constraints, and success metrics before committing to solutions. I communicate trade-offs directly, propose phased delivery plans, and make dependencies and risks visible early. Frequent checkpoints with stakeholders allow the team to adapt while preserving focus on the highest-impact outcomes. Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we’re a Series C company that has hit $100M in annual recurring revenue. More than 90,000 real estate professionals, including over 30% of the WSJ Real Trends top 100 agents in the United States, use us to run and grow their business. ### The Opportunity We don’t just use AI. We build with it, ship with it, and think with it. With a generous budget for tokens, our engineers use AI agents to write, review, and ship production code every day. We are building toward a world where humans design systems and AI builds them, and we are already far along that path. We are hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead Maps & Search. This team owns the home search experience across web and mobile. It’s one of the most visible, highest-traffic surfaces–the search service alone handles a billion requests every month. This is a role for a manager who leads from the front: someone who still lives in their terminal with AI, has strong opinions about how AI changes the SDLC, and wants to amplify what a small, senior, AI-augmented team can accomplish. You will set technical direction, stay close to the code, and help the team produce consistent impact. ### What You’ll Do Lead and grow the Maps & Search team. Own hiring, onboarding, coaching, 1:1s, direct feedback, and career development. Treat management as a craft and build a healthy, high-performing team that ships impactful changes. Stay hands-on. Contribute directly — code and design reviews, architecture, thorny debugging— and stay technical enough to make smart calls on trade-offs. Own and scale a high-throughput search platform. Drive the architecture, relevance, latency, and reliability of a real estate search system handling ~1B monthly requests and hundreds of millions of listings. Deliver a world-class home search experience. Own the core home discovery experience across web and mobile — improving engagement, lead conversion, and agent workflows while keeping interactions fast and responsive at scale. Push forward AI-powered discovery. Partner across teams to bring LLMs and intelligent ranking into search and user workflows, improving how buyers and agents discover, filter, and engage with listings. Shape the roadmap with product and design. Define what we build and why, not just focusing on the how. Translate user needs and business goals into a clear technical plan, and own delivery end to end — planning, quality, reliability, and incident response. ### What We’re Looking For ### Attributes * You lead from the front. You’re still close to the code and technically respected, and you treat management as a craft — growing engineers, giving clear feedback, and building a team that ships. * You already build with AI daily. You use AI as a core part of your workflow, not as a novelty — and you expect your team to as well. * You have strong opinions, loosely held, about how AI changes software architecture, team structure, and engineering culture. * You think in systems. You connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and business value. * You communicate clearly and directly. You can explain complex tradeoffs to product, design, and executive stakeholders. * You’re energized by ambiguity and speed. You thrive in a fast-growing company where the roadmap evolves and ownership is real. * You like to have fun at work. We take our craft seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We celebrate wins, crack jokes, and genuinely enjoy building together. ### Skills and Experience * 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful senior or staff-level time, plus 2+ years managing engineering teams. * Search experience — you’ve worked on search, relevance, ranking, or retrieval systems. It doesn’t have to be OpenSearch or Elasticsearch specifically, but you understand how search works and how to make it better. * Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with the full-stack fluency to reason about the whole request path from UI to data. * Experience designing and operating scalable microservice architectures in cloud-native environments (AWS preferred). * Strong understanding of GraphQL, event-driven systems (Kafka), and databases (PostgreSQL, OpenSearch). * A proven track record operating high-traffic, low-latency production systems at scale — SLOs, incident response, and capacity planning are second nature. * Experience leading high-impact initiatives from concept through production in a SaaS environment. ### Tech Stack * Frontend: React, Tailwind, Apollo * Backend: Node.js / TypeScript microservices * Data: PostgreSQL, OpenSearch * Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Lambda * Messaging: Kafka, Redis ### Compensation ### Additional Information Join us in shaping the future of real estate The real estate industry is in the midst of a seismic shift, and the future belongs to those who break new ground.
