  • Perform vulnerability assessments and security audits on applications.
  • Collaborate closely with the Product Manager to translate business needs into secure technical solutions.
  • Automate deployments with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) and manage cloud infrastructure (Azure/AWS).
  • Stay ahead of industry trends in full-stack engineering and cybersecurity to keep our platform cutting-edge.

** What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of experience developing and deploying applications in the Microsoft full-stack ecosystem.
  • Proven skills with C#, .NET Core, .NET Framework, and related tools.
  • Strong front-end expertise with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frameworks.

  • Experience with containers (Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha, NUnit, etc.).
  • Strong grounding in cybersecurity best practices: secure coding, data protection, vulnerability testing.
  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (GDPR, SOC2, HIPAA) is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with a security-first mindset.

**Why Join Us

  • Work on a high-impact, disruptive product that is reshaping real estate technology.
  • Build a platform where security and innovation go hand in hand.
  • On-site team collaboration in Houston’s downtown tech hub.
  • Daytime schedule (9am–6pm, Mon–Fri) with no nights/weekends.
