Own full-stack projects from architecture through deployment and production support. Build scalable web applications and backend services with Node.js, NestJS, Hono, or Express; create frontend experiences with React, Next.js, and React Native; and work with PostgreSQL databases. The role includes architectural decision-making, observability, performance optimization, code reviews, CI/CD, and collaboration with design and engineering teams to deliver products used by millions of members.
What is Bilt?
Bilt is the membership for where you live.
What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants.
Travel, dining, fitness, everyday spend. We are building systems across payments, credit, loyalty, and commerce all at once.
We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens.
This role comes with real ownership and high expectations. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and structure, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want to build quickly, have a real say in what gets built, and work on products used by millions, you will likely do your best work here.
What’s the role?
As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll work on high-impact projects that directly shape how our members interact with Bilt's most exciting initiatives. From powering our hit game show "Rent Free" to developing exclusive member experiences and Rent Day benefits, you'll be at the forefront of creating memorable digital touch-points that make renting more rewarding.
In this role you will:
- Own projects end-to-end—from technical scoping and architecture through deployment and production support
- Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decision-making
- Work across the stack as needed, adapting to the demands of different projects and problems
- Architect and build scalable web applications and services that serve millions of Bilt members
- Develop and maintain backend services using Node.js frameworks (NestJS, Hono, Express)
- Build performant frontend experiences using Next.js, React, and React Native
- Collaborate with design teams to use our design system across web and mobile platforms
- Work with relational databases (PostgreSQL) to design schemas, optimize queries, and ensure data integrity
- Implement and maintain observability practices including structured logging, distributed tracing, and monitoring
In terms of qualifications, we’re seeking:
- 6+ years of professional software development experience
- Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript
- Hands-on experience with Node.js backend development using frameworks like NestJS, Express, or Hono
- Experience with Next.js and/or React Native for building production applications
- Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred), including data modeling and query optimization
- Familiarity with state management patterns and libraries (Redux or similar)
- Experience working with design systems and component libraries
- Understanding of observability fundamentals: logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting
- Experience designing systems that scale—caching strategies, async processing, API design
- Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD workflows
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and web services
- Excellent communication and collaboration abilities
You'll thrive here if you:
- Are excited about working across the full stack and don't box yourself into "frontend" or "backend"
- Take ownership and see things through—you don't throw problems over the wall
- Communicate clearly and collaborate well; you're a team player who doesn't deflect or finger-point
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and can drive projects forward with minimal hand-holding
- Care about code quality, testing, and building things that last
- Embrace an AI-augmented development workflow—you actively use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and/or Devin as part of how you build, debug, and ship software
Benefits:
- Compensation - We offer a competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity and our performance bonus program
- Health insurance for you (& your loved ones) from day one - Enjoy a One Medical Membership, wellness stipends, family programs and more, on us. We’ve got you and your family covered from day one.
- 401k plan with a match - Retirement may feel more like a pipe dream than a reality but we’re here to help you get there.
- Commuter FSAs - We believe the best ideas come from being together in one place. We just don’t think getting there should be so expensive.
- UNLIMITED PTO - Because we believe that working hard shouldn’t mean always working. Take time for you as often as you need it.
- Exclusive Employee only Bilt Points - We give our employees unique opportunities to earn points throughout their time at Bilt.
At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
The salary range for a Senior Full Stack Engineer is $175,000-$250,000 and will be eligible for equity and an annual performance-based bonus.
