Engineering Team Lead - MavenAI

MavenAI is part of ApartmentIQ, a company focused on revolutionizing the Rentals Industry with advanced operating systems for multifamily real estate. The Engineering Team Lead will oversee a new team that integrates market data with AI-driven marketing automation, ensuring real-time information for prospective renters and reducing manual work for property managers.

Responsibilities:

• Hands-on architecture and coding across Rails backends, data pipelines, and React frontends
• Design end-to-end flows where real-time market data triggers concrete actions: social posting, listing updates, availability syndication
• Own the full stack: the unified interface (React + Tailwind), the API layer (Rails), and the data integrations that power them
• Use product analytics, usage data, and direct customer feedback to decide what to build next — not just how to build it
• Champion AI-assisted development (Claude Code, automated testing, AI code review) as force multipliers for the team
• Co-own the roadmap in Linear with your PM and designer, balancing customer impact, technical debt, and strategic bets
• Participate in customer conversations to understand property manager workflows and pain points firsthand
• Define problems — not just solve well-defined ones. Translate ambiguous customer needs into concrete, shippable features
• Measure the impact of what you ship: set success metrics, instrument features, and iterate based on real-world results
• Partner with Data Science to ensure data freshness and accuracy — renters rely on this data being correct
• Lead and grow a team of four engineers. Conduct 1:1s, code reviews, and career development conversations
• Help hire two new engineers who share this product-minded approach
• Foster a culture of psychological safety, technical rigor, and ownership — where engineers understand the 'why' behind their work
• Implement automated quality pipelines (style, security, pattern matching) so human review focuses on architecture and product logic
