## About the Role

* 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
 * Strong Python. Our services run on Flask with Jinja templates and HTMX frontends
 * Strong SQL and real PostgreSQL experience: schema design, joins across messy real-world data, query debugging
 * Experience integrating and maintaining third-party APIs (REST, OAuth, webhooks)
 * Genuine willingness to work in a low-code platform. Our CRM is Zoho Creator with its Deluge scripting language. Nobody arrives knowing it and we will train you, but a large share of the routine work lives there. If low-code work sounds beneath you, this is the wrong role
 * Strong written and spoken English (C1 or equivalent). You will write tickets, documentation, and messages to non-technical staff
 * At least 4 hours of daily overlap with 9am to 6pm New York time
 * Reliable remote setup: stable power and internet, with a backup plan for outages

Nice to Have

 * Experience with Zoho Creator or comparable low-code platforms
 * Familiarity with LLM APIs (we use the Claude API with tiered model routing) and comfort working inside an existing AI architecture
 * Real estate, fintech, or payments domain experience
 * Node.js, Tailwind, cron-based job orchestration, Cloudflare

## Description

You will be the platform's second engineer. You are trained directly by the person who built the system, over a structured six-month ramp, with the goal that you can run day-to-day platform operations on your own: maintenance, bug fixes, monitoring, integrations, and scoped feature work. This is a long-term seat, not a project contract. You report to the Director of Innovation and work inside an existing weekly cadence: priorities set Tuesdays, everything tracked in our ticket system, delivery recapped weekly.

What You'll Do

 * Own routine maintenance and bug fixes across the platform, working from a prioritized ticket queue with effort estimates
 * Monitor and maintain the data sync layer (Zoho Creator to PostgreSQL, every 5 minutes) plus integrations with QuickBooks, Follow Up Boss, and Google Workspace
 * Build scoped features inside the existing architecture: Python services, dashboard views, workflow automations, Zoho customizations
 * Answer technical questions from staff and support the team that handles training and helpdesk
 * Document what you touch, so knowledge lives in the system instead of in one head
