AppFolio
Santa Barbara, CA Intern
POSTED ON 4/17/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/24/2025
Description

AppFolio is more than a company. We’re a community of dreamers, big thinkers, problem solvers, active listeners, and multipliers. At every opportunity, we set the pace while delivering innovation built to carry real estate into the future. One in which every experience feels effortless, yet meaningful. Where customers are empowered to take on any opportunity. We show up as one team, connected by our values to be a force for good. Because together, we have the power to create extraordinary outcomes for our customers, our communities, and ourselves.

What we’re looking for

We are hiring a responsible and passionate Senior Payments Software Engineer with excellent client-side development skills to contribute to our early-stage product development with a very small team of experienced people. We work collaboratively to develop easy-to-use and inviting solutions for potential customers. Our engineers find deep satisfaction in building things that customers actually love.

Your impact

  • Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems in the payments space.
  • Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance.
  • Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
  • Work closely with (and incorporate feedback from) other engineering team members, QA, and product owners.
  • Leverage agile practices in start-up mode, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop rapidly.
  • Research, share, and recommend new technologies and trends.


Qualifications

  • You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of simplicity and priority.
  • You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
  • You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it, too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit.
  • Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap.
  • Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack.
  • Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban.
  • Strong familiarity with test-driven development.


Must have

  • BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline (Bootcamp graduates are welcome as well)
  • 5 years of hands-on work experience (outside of internships and education) developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment
  • Experience working in APIs, databases, and other web and cloud technologies
  • Excellent experience working across all levels of the development stack
  • Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban


Nice to have

  • Recent experience in the Payment Processing industry
  • Recent experience with our tech stack: Ruby-on-Rails, React.js, AWS, and MySQL
  • Experience building streaming systems with large amounts of data and complex aggregation logic
  • Experience deploying machine learning models at scale
