Stan AI is building the next generation of AI-powered software for property managers. We help property management companies automate operations, streamline tenant communications, and make smarter decisions — all powered by AI. We're a fast-moving team of ~25, backed by strong customer traction, and we're scaling fast. We believe AI should augment great people, not replace them. That philosophy applies to how we build our product and how we run our company. We're looking for an Engineering Team Lead to lead a small, high-impact full-stack team within our 11-person and growing engineering organization. You'll report directly to the Director of Engineering and work closely with the product team to ship features that matter. This is a player-coach role. You'll spend your time writing code alongside your team of 2–3 engineers, leading — running sprints, mentoring, driving architecture decisions, and helping hire the people who will define what this team becomes, and helping to drive the product forward. You'll have a direct line to engineering leadership and real influence over how we build — including how we adopt and leverage AI in our engineering workflows.
