Aboutthe team (Business Platform Experience)
The Business Platform Experience (BPX) organization builds and operates the B2B ecosystem that powers our partners’ success:
- B2B marketplace for real estate agencies, brokers, and agents
- Tools to create, manage, and promote listings on our consumer-facing products
- Deep integrations with external systems (CRMs, ERPs, partner platforms) via our Enterprise APIs
- Agent and brokerage productivity experiences, performance insights, and monetization flows
BPX is where business meets platform: we are the backbone that helps partners manage inventory, connect with consumers, and grow their revenue
.
As a Principal Engineer in BPX, you are the technical authority for our B2B platform: the systems, APIs, and experiences that real estate agencies and agents rely on every day to run their business.
You will:
- Set the technical direction for core B2B domains (listings lifecycle, integrations, onboarding, billing, lead & performance tools, etc.).
- Own the architecture of mission-critical, high-scale systems serving thousands of real estate professionals and powering millions of listings and consumer experiences.
- Drive the evolution of our Enterprise APIs and integrations that connect Property Finder with agency CRMs and the wider real estate ecosystem.
- Influence and align multiple teams and leaders across Engineering, Product, and Commercial to deliver durable, scalable solutions.
You are an individual contributor, but your impact is org-level: you lead through influence, clarity of thinking, and technical excellence.

- Enterprise APIs for CRM and system integrations
- Partner onboarding, contracts, and monetization flows
- Agent productivity and performance tooling
- Design and evolve scalable, resilient, multi-tenant systems that support multiple markets, products, and business models across MENA.
- Ensure our Enterprise APIs are robust, well-designed, and a pleasure to integrate with: versioning strategy, backward compatibility, documentation standards, and observability.
- Proactively identify architectural risks (scalability limits, data model complexity, tight coupling between B2B and B2C systems, etc.) and define strategies to address them before they become constraints.
- Champion engineering standards for BPX: code quality, testing, observability, security, and performance across multiple teams.
- Act as the escalation point for complex production issues in mission-critical flows (listings ingestion, CRM syncs, lead delivery, agency billing, etc.).
- Drive improvements in SLOs/SLAs, reliability, and incident response for B2B systems—ensuring that our partners can trust Property Finder for their daily operations.
- Introduce and scale platform capabilities (shared libraries, services, patterns) that make it easier and faster for teams to build consistent, reliable features.
- Mentor Senior, Staff, and upcoming Principal-level Engineers, helping them grow in system design, architectural thinking, and strategic impact.
- Coach Engineering Managers on technical decision‑making, trade‑offs, and…
