Engineering - Core Platform - Senior Software Engineer

About Us

Light Box is on a mission to modernize the commercial real estate industry. We bring together authoritative property, environmental, geospatial, zoning, and transaction data with intuitive workflow products that help professionals make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions.

We are building Light Box Live, a unified CRE intelligence platform that connects data, people, properties, and workflows into one modern application experience for commercial real estate professionals. Our users rely on us to surface the right data, make it understandable, and turn it into action.

This is an opportunity to help build products at the intersection of modern web applications, geospatial data, environmental due diligence, and commercial real estate technology. If you enjoy turning complex data and workflows into clean, powerful, user-friendly software, this is a great place to make an impact.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong front-end web application experience and the ability to contribute across a modern full-stack Type Script environment.

In this role, you will help design, build, and evolve user-facing applications for Light Box Live. The work will lean heavily toward front-end development, including React based interfaces, complex workflows, data visualization, and integrations with APIs and backend services. You will collaborate with product managers, designers, engineers, and domain experts to deliver software that helps users interpret property, environmental, and location-based data with speed and confidence.

You should be comfortable working in a modern web stack, making thoughtful technical decisions, and building scalable, maintainable, and performant applications. You should also be curious and intentional about modern development tooling, including AI-assisted coding, and excited by how these tools can improve engineering velocity, learning, testing, refactoring, performance, and overall software quality. We are looking for someone who can take ownership, contribute to architecture and implementation, and help raise the quality of the product and codebase.

Reporting to the Software Development Manager, you will:

• Build, enhance, and maintain modern web applications for Light Box Live.
• Develop responsive, intuitive, and performant user interfaces using React and Type Script.
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teammates to translate business needs and user workflows into high quality software.
• Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to accelerate implementation, testing, refactoring, debugging, documentation, and technical exploration while maintaining strong ownership of code quality and correctness.
• Work with APIs, data models, and backend services in a Node-based application environment.
• Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, pull requests, and code reviews.
• Help shape reusable components, patterns, and best practices across the application.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve technical and application issues.
• Write clean, maintainable, well tested code.
• Contribute to an agile development process focused on delivering meaningful product value.
• Help modernize and unify CRE workflows by making complex data easier to understand and act on.

You are a thoughtful software engineer who enjoys building polished, useful web applications. You care about user experience, code quality, system design, and maintainability. You are comfortable working with ambiguity, asking good questions, and partnering with others to solve real business and customer problems.

You are especially strong on the front end but capable of contributing across the stack. You do not need to be an expert in every technology we use, but you should be excited to work in a modern Type Script, React, Node, Graph

QL, and relational database environment.
