What Youll Actually Do

- Ship fast and iterateif it works and people use it its good. If it doesnt kill it and build the next thing
- Work from real operational pain points (your team will tell you exactly whats broken)
- Own the full stack: design build deploy measure iterate based on what actually gets used
- Learn the real estate finance domain by shipping solutions not by reading docs
- Partner with product and engineering to understand our architecture and use it
What Success Looks Like
- Your code directly reduces manual hours on the implementation team (and youll measure it)
- You ship your first tool within your first 30 days
- You get comfortable shipping and iterating quickly with real feedback
- People on your team actually use the things you build - adoption matters
- You grow from new grad to engineer who owns critical internal systems in 12-18 months
