Senior Backend Software Engineer

Are you a seasoned backend engineer looking to shape the future of real estate technology in one of Denmark’s fastest-growing B2B startups? At Resights, you’ll be at the forefront of building and scaling a data-driven platform that is transforming the real estate industry from the ground up.

Resights began with a vision to consolidate real estate data onto a single platform - to save time and improve decision making. No more cluttered spreadsheets or gut feelings ‍ Since then, we’ve developed an innovative solution through close collaboration with our customers, enabling data-driven decision-making like never before.

Data is often called the new oil, but why should it be so complex and time-consuming to harness? At Resights, we believe that data should be as easy to access as it is to understand. And that’s where you come in. As a backend engineer, you’ll help us collect, structure, and visualize all the data that’s relevant to real estate—fueling smarter decisions and better outcomes for everyone involved.

So, in a nutshell, that’s Resights. But in truth, what really defines us are the people behind our software. A collection of team players who, in three years, have built one of the fastest growing startups in Denmark, boasting over 1300 customers. Even with healthy finances and no big VC check all with a rock solid product that creates value for our customers! Most importantly, we have had a lot of fun, because that's truly a part of our DNA (read our culture memo here)

Product at Resights

Let us take you inside the Product team at Resights. We are approx. 20 people strong split between frontend, backend, designers and product managers. We are a mix of problem thinkers and solution designers, all working towards improving our product and paving the way for the future of the commercial real estate industry. We are a team where all thoughts and opinions are valued, no matter who it comes from. Our role is highly cross-functional, and we are working with all teams and customers to improve our product.

Tech stack

Our platform ingests and processes vast amounts of public real estate data, delivering it in user-friendly formats for various market use cases. As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, you’ll work with:

• Data pipelines ingesting data from various data sources using a variety of protocols collecting these in our own databases. We use PostgreSQL as our primary database but we also store graph data in Neo4J.
• Batch processing jobs that process ingested data into consumable data materializing these in our relational database or in Elasticsearch.
• Backend services and APIs created with Python asynchronous web-frameworks (FastAPI) that are consumed by our front-end and by customer integrations.
• We deploy to AWS cloud with Kubernetes using ArgoCD.

Our stack is Python based, with strong preferences for:

• Type safety through type hints and static type checkers
• Runtime type validation with Pydantic
• Standardized linting and formatting
• Good testing practices with unit tests/integration tests.

Your Role and Expectations

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer at Resights, you’ll play a pivotal role in developing new customer facing features while also improving the quality, reliability, and security of our systems. We recognize the common pain points of developers—technical debt, complex tech stacks, and unreliable tools—and are committed to addressing these head-on. Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product managers, designers, and frontend engineers to ensure a seamless product experience. We thrive on customer feedback, so your work will have an immediate impact on our users.
• Lead with strategy: As a senior engineer, you’ll also have the chance to influence the broader technical strategy, ensuring that our platform remains cutting-edge and scalable as we continue to grow.
• Improve code quality and development environment: Help us tackle technical debt and simplify our tech stack, so our development process is smoother and more reliable. Your input will directly enhance our team's efficiency.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and who is excited by the prospect of not only coding but also mentoring and leading. If improving code quality, learning new technologies and diving into the intricacies of real estate data, and contributing to the strategic direction of a fast-growing platform sounds like the next step in your career, we want to hear from you!
