You will build the tools that transform how the world’s largest asset class—real estate—is transacted. This role goes beyond executing builds; you will use professional judgement to direct product development and shape the foundations of Orbital’s next growth phase.

• Work with a stack commonly including TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL and Python, reviewing and shaping code produced by AI agents.
• Rapidly turn new ideas into customer‑facing features, often within days rather than months.
• Continuously improve engineering practices by adopting AI‑assisted development and modern software workflows.

• Evidence of high‑level excellence in a professional, academic, or personal domain.
