Software Engineering Intern
ABOUT VTS
VTS is the fastest-growing Proptech company in the history of commercial real estate (CRE). We have transformed a $15 trillion dollar industry with our award-winning platform which is used to manage over 60% of all office buildings. We’re continuing to expand our product offerings and are building the industry’s first and only online marketing software and end-to-end leasing marketplace, VTS Market. VTS Market will enable landlords to market their available spaces more effectively, and help tenant rep brokers and their tenants easily find and lease space online – a process that has traditionally been offline and difficult.
It’s an exciting time to join the VTS team – we recently reached unicorn status after raising $90 million in series D funding led by our clients (believed to be the largest venture financing in the history of commercial real estate software), we recently made the Forbes Cloud 100 list of the hottest private cloud companies, and were named one of Crain's best places to work!
Our headquarters are in NYC, but we have hubs in other major US cities, Toronto, CA, and London, UK.

How does this Position help VTS Succeed?
As an Engineering Intern at VTS you will be part of a team that builds features for a product that is fundamentally changing how commercial real estate is done in the world. At VTS, you’ll have an opportunity to learn and use the latest technologies such as Ruby/Rails, React, and CI tools to ship real features to our production app. You’ll work closely with a collaborative agile team as an engineer on the team (but with mentorship and coaching support).
COVID-19 is causing a seismic shift in how commercial real estate operates, and landlords are rushing to modernize their businesses and embrace digital ways of touring spaces - and they’re turning to us for help! You will be working with the Market Platform / Marketplace team. This is a new business unit for VTS that is seeing tremendous growth. We are building out a digital hub for leasing teams to manage their photos and videos, analytics about who is engaging with their online content, and tools to collaborate with brokers and tenants.
VTS is offering an extended engineering internship program from mid-July through October, for 40 hours a week with a competitive compensation rate.
