Our Guiding Values

RealManage is a values-based company with the following values as our guiding principles:

• Integrity: we always do the right thing.
• Respect: for our customers, employees and company; mutual respect is the cornerstone for every RealManage relationship.
• Selflessness: more than teamwork; we are part of something special and much larger than any of us.
• Personal Relationships: we are a professional services company; people do business with people they like.
• Always Improving: never satisfied, always learning, and always growing. At RealManage, we are always getting better.

RealManage runs the technology that powers how thousands of communities are governed, funded, and cared for. Now we're modernizing that platform into something new: an event-driven, agentic operating system that can run autonomous, agentic processes across the business. We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to help lead that transformation from the front, not the sidelines.

This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo or wait for a rigid playbook. It's for an engineer who is genuinely excited about what AI makes possible right now and someone who is opinionated about how software should be built today, rooted in strong principles, and restless enough to keep questioning their own assumptions.

You'll build with AI and you'll build into AI. You'll orchestrate coding agents as core infrastructure to ship faster and better, and you'll architect the event-driven systems and autonomous agentic processes that will define the next decade of our platform. Both matter. Equally.

How We Build

_The principles that define how this team operates. If they make you lean in, keep reading.

_

• AI-native, top to bottom. Everyone here builds and ships with AI, from prototype to production. You wield coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor as primary tooling, not a novelty. If a task can be delegated to an agent and verified faster than you can hand-type it, that's the job. Leverage is the point.
• Agents in the product, not just the process. We're evolving the platform into an agentic OS. Event-driven systems and autonomous processes that reason, decide, and act on behalf of the communities we serve. You'll help architect them from first principles, safely and at scale.
• Rooted in principles, not dogma. We move fast, but we're not reckless. You reason from first principles, define crisp contracts, constraints, and invariants, and know exactly what "good" looks like before a single line gets written, by you or an agent. Speed without judgment is just risk.
• Embedded with product. You sit shoulder-to-shoulder with product and design, and you help decide what to build, not just how. The best engineers here shape the roadmap, challenge the brief, and turn ambiguity into shipped value.
• Experiment relentlessly. The tools change monthly. So do we. You try new approaches, keep what works, and drop what doesn't without ceremony or ego. Curiosity is a job requirement, not a personality trait.
• Own the outcome, end to end. You design it, build it, ship it, and run it. Accountability is a feature, not a bug. When you own the whole loop, you build better.

What You'll Actually Do

• Set technical direction as we modernize the platform into an event-driven agentic OS, setting architecture, patterns, and the standards the rest of the team builds against.
• Design and ship autonomous, event-driven agentic processes that solve real problems for the communities and teams we serve.
• Orchestrate AI coding agents to accelerate delivery and build the guardrails, evals, and review practices that keep agent-generated code safe, tested, and production-grade.
• Partner directly with product managers and designers to define outcomes, pressure-test ideas, and decide what's worth building.
• Lead architecture and design conversations that raise the ceiling on scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
• Present technical decisions and live demos clearly, to engineers and to executives who don't speak in stack traces.
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar on how the whole team builds with AI, not just what they build.
• Champion continuous delivery, DevOps, and a culture where shipping value quickly is the default.
