Sr. Software Engineer - Santa Barbara, United States - AppFolio
Description
AppFolio's main product is the AppFolio Property Manager: web-based software for managers of apartment buildings to schedule maintenance, track their finances, and communicate with their tenants. We also make a companion app for tenants to pay their rent, buy renter's insurance, and request maintenance. We love our work because it helps millions of people with these everyday tasks. Our product vision sums it up nicely:
AppFolio creates a world where choosing, living in, owning, and managing communities feels magical and effortless, freeing people to thrive.
Since 2019, we have been energetically supercharging our products with AI. For example, as a renter, if you've ever scheduled an apartment tour over text message, you might've interacted with "Lisa," our AI-powered leasing agent chatbot. Property managers can configure Lisa to offer 24/7 service to prospective tenants, answering their questions about rental listings and scheduling tours. This frees up our property managers to spend more time doing what they love: connecting people to their future "dream home". Moreover, we have several non-public AI-powered and LLM-powered features inside AppFolio Property Manager, including a ChatGPT-like chatbot that can answer questions ("Show me all open Work Orders older than 3 days"), execute actions ("Email all tenants at 123 Garden St that we will be re-paving the parking lot next tuesday"), and orchestrate workflows ("On the 3rd day of every month, identify all maintenance techs with open work orders, and request a status update from them over email").

The user experience today centers around fairly static data tables, but our upmarket customers require more customization and flexibility in how they derive insights from their business data. The goal of the Business Intelligence prod dev team is to discover these needs and deliver on them. Some examples of current initiatives:
