16 Harnham Data Architect Jobs Hiring Near You

Senior Software Engineer (Back-End)

Tempe, Arizona | Full-Time | Four Days Onsite

Company Overview

Harnham is partnering with a leading U.S. real estate organization specializing in the ownership and management of single-family rental homes.

Unlike traditional apartment operators, the company acquires individual homes, renovates them, and leases them to families and individuals. Its operations span the full residential property lifecycle, including property acquisition, renovation, leasing, property management, maintenance, resident services, and vendor coordination.

The organization is one of the largest owners and operators of single-family rental homes in the United States, managing tens of thousands of properties across more than 30 metropolitan markets. It also provides property management services on behalf of institutional real estate investors.

Data and technology are central to how the company operates at scale. Its engineering platforms support digital leasing, mobile and web applications, customer and resident portals, property maintenance, internal operational workflows, vendor integrations, procurement, payment processes, and resident services.

The technology organization continues to invest in cloud-native platforms, API-driven applications, mobile capabilities, automation, artificial intelligence, and the modernization of customer-facing and internal systems.

Position Overview

The Senior Software Engineer will design, build, and deliver scalable services and customer experiences using cloud-native technologies within Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The position is approximately 80% back-end and 20% front-end development, with a primary focus on serverless architecture, microservices, API development, system integrations, and production delivery.

The engineering team supports mobile applications, customer-facing portals, public websites, internal operational systems, external vendor integrations, and procure-to-pay platforms.

Engineers work closely with architects, business leaders, product partners, and other developers to translate business requirements into secure, reliable, and scalable technical solutions.

Successful candidates will bring recent, hands-on ownership of production AWS serverless systems and must be prepared to explain their architectural decisions, technical tradeoffs, observability strategy, and resulting business impact. General AWS familiarity without substantive serverless delivery experience will not meet the requirements of this position.
