Job Description

**About Settl.**
Setl is not another real estate tool โ€” it *replaces *real estate agents
entirely.

Weโ€™re building the first end-to-end platform that automates property listings,
legal, marketing, inspections, and mortgage financing. Think: **Stripe or
Square for real estate transactions** โ€” but with the margin of a full-stack
vertical SaaS.

Our goal: modernize the $100B+ real estate commission industry by turning
fragmented, agent-driven processes into a seamless experience buyers and
sellers can trust. Weโ€™ve completed the build of our MVP and raising a $5M seed
round.

**The Role**

As **CTO / Founding Engineer,** you'll:

* Own the product and engineering roadmap from MVP to scale
* Build a seamless real estate infrastructure layer (listings, legal, lenders, payments)
* Recruit and lead a small, elite engineering team
* Architect a secure, flexible platform that scales
* Work hand-in-hand with the founder on product, fundraising, hiring, and ops

**What You Bring**

* Youโ€™ve built or scaled a proptech, fintech, or marketplace startup
* Youโ€™ve worked across integrations: APIs, payments, legal workflows, or mortgage
* You care about product velocity and long-term architecture
* Youโ€™re as excited by execution as you are by the mission
* You think big and ship lean

**Bonus Points:**

* Experience at OpenDoor, Blend, LegalVision, Zillow, Redfin or similar
* Knowledge of U.S. real estate and compliance frameworks
* Previous startup or cofounder experience

**Our Stack (Current MVP)**

* Frontend: React / Tailwind
* Backend: Node / Supabase / PostgreSQL
* DevOps: Docker, Vercel, Cloud Functions
* Integrations: Stripe / PandaDoc / Stream Chat/ RelevanceAI / SumSub / Google / Zoho / Conveyancer APIs / Lender APIs

**Compensation**

* Equity: Cofounder-level โ€” open to negotiation
* Cash: Post-seed salary
* Other: Freedom to define technical culture and first hires

**Whatโ€™s Next**

* Finalize MVP โ†’ First pilot sales in 7 US Cities
* Public campaign to change public sentiment on agents (with retired agent ambassadors)
* Full U.S. rollout โ†’ Target FSBO sellers and mortgage-driven buyers
* Grow team across product, legal, growth

**Letโ€™s Settl. It**
If you want to help redefine how property is bought and sold โ€” and build
something truly foundational โ€” reach out.
