What is Bilt?

Bilt is the membership for where you live, transforming rent and mortgage payments into valuable rewards while connecting members with exclusive benefits in their neighborhood.

With every on-time rent or mortgage payment, Bilt Members earn Bilt Points – the industry’s most valuable and flexible points currency. They can transfer their points 1:1 to their favorite airlines or hotels with our industry leading travel program, use them for future rent payments, redeem for everyday purchases, or save them for a down payment on a home. Plus, unlock exclusive rewards on the 1st of every month with Rent Day®.

Bilt Members get even more value at their favorite local spots with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™ at local restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, on Lyft rides, and more–over 45,000 merchants nationwide. When they use any linked card with our neighborhood partners, they’ll earn Bilt Points and access special experiences including complimentary items, member events, and more.

While Bilt Members can use many payment methods to earn points and access their benefits, Bilt has a suite of 3 cards offering the richest rewards in the market - and the first and only card suite that lets you pay rent and earn points without the transaction fee.

What’s the role?

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll work on high-impact projects that directly shape how our members interact with Bilt's most exciting initiatives. From powering our hit game show “Rent Free” to developing exclusive member experiences and Rent Day benefits, you'll be at the forefront of creating memorable digital touch‑points that make renting more rewarding.

In this role you will:

Build performant frontend experiences using Next.js, React, and React Native
Collaborate with design teams to use our design system across web and mobile platforms
Work with relational databases (PostgreSQL) to design schemas, optimize queries, and ensure data integrity
Implement and maintain observability practices including structured logging, distributed tracing, and monitoring

In terms of qualifications, we’re seeking:

Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD workflows
Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and web services
Excellent communication and collaboration abilities

You’ll thrive here if you:

Are excited about working across the full stack and don't box yourself into “frontend” or “backend”
Take ownership and see things through—you don't throw problems over the wall
Communicate clearly and collaborate well; you're a team player who doesn't deflect or finger‑point
Are comfortable with ambiguity and can drive projects forward with minimal hand‑holding
Care about code quality, testing, and building things that last
Embrace an AI‑augmented development workflow—you actively use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and/or Devin as part of how you build, debug, and ship software
