Bilt is the membership program for where you live, transforming housing payments into valuable rewards while connecting members with exclusive benefits in their neighborhood. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
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. We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens.
What they're looking for
- 4–5+ years of experience as a software engineer, forward-deployed engineer, solutions engineer, or similar hands-on technical role where you shipped code and worked directly with external partners or customers
- Strong Java proficiency: you can write, review, and debug Java code confidently. Experience with Spring Boot, REST frameworks, and modern Java tooling is a plus
- Deep API fluency: you live and breathe RESTful APIs, webhooks, OAuth, and third-party integrations. You can read an API spec and immediately reason about edge cases, error handling, and data flows
- Excellent technical communication: you can explain a complex distributed system to a partner’s engineer, write crystal-clear documentation, and tailor your message for audiences ranging from CTOs to junior developers
- Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code
- Database knowledge including SQL, data modeling, and experience working with both relational and NoSQL datastores
