Doorstead
Full-service property management with guaranteed rent
Our Company
We’re a full-service property management brokerage that provides guaranteed rental income to property owners, regardless of occupancy. By combining efficient technology with real-world operations, we provide high quality property management at low cost, so that owners and tenants can have peace of mind.
In 2 years since our founding in June 2019, our company has:
We believe that the winning formula for a company is people + technology working in unison, and we wouldn’t be where we are without the smart, hard-working individuals with us today. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reimagine an entire industry.
Our Industry
There are 20 million single family residences (SFRs) in the United States, more than 19 million of which are owned by individuals or families. For these owners, there is little data or technology to help them understand market rental rates, find high quality tenants, or manage the ongoing maintenance of their rental units.
Full-service property management for SFRs is a hyper-local and highly fragmented business. And just like the owners, property managers have little in the way of data, tools, and automated processes to enable them to scale and work smartly. Further, there is a misalignment of incentives between traditional property managers and the owners they represent – managers can promise a high rental rate to win the business but do so without consequence if they secure a lower rate. They pitch fast leasing timeframes but have no skin in the game when vacancies stretch from weeks to months. Missteps on both of these fronts come at a high cost; they often are the difference between a homeowner making or losing money on their rental property each year.
The Team & The Role
Our engineering team is responsible for the full stack of technical tools that allow us to deliver world-class property management to our owners and tenants. You should be passionate about building technology that extends the boundaries of human performance. Think Tony Stark building JARVIS, but for property management.
As a senior software engineer, you’ll be responsible for all technical and non-technical engineering matters related to making your team’s projects successful. We divide our engineering org into three teams: Growth, Core Experience, and Data, and this is a senior engineering role for any of these teams.
