About Orchard
Orchard is transforming the way people buy and sell their homes. Simplifying it, to the way it should have always been; fair and true to market, straightforward, easy. Every year in the U.S., $1.5 trillion of single family homes transact, generating over $120 billion of fees in a process that has changed little in decades. For the average American, the home purchase and sale process takes months, creates anxiety and is filled with uncertainty and hassle. Orchard offers a modern alternative, making one of life's biggest decisions -- the sale and purchase of a home –so stress free, fair and simple that people cannot imagine any other way. Orchard is headquartered in New York City, has 150+ employees, a network of 600 agents and has grown nearly 2x year over the last 2 years. We have raised equity financing from top tier investors including: Firstmark, Accomplice, Revolution Growth, Navitas and Juxtapose.
About the Role
Orchard’s engineering team values clarity, collaboration, and ownership. Our team builds the systems behind Orchard’s website and the tools that help agents reach new customers. We focus on helping people explore homes, book consultations, and connect with our agents. Our site serves over 150k unique visitors each month and sees about 700k pageviews. The team partners closely with marketing, product, and design to support new campaigns, track performance, and ensure the site is fast and reliable at scale.
You'll work on the systems that make this possible - backend, frontend, or both, depending on where the work takes you. That means building and improving APIs, data services, and integrations that support both customers and agents. Your work will touch many parts of the systems our team owns. We build and maintain the services that bring new customers into Orchard, from the public website and intake flows, to scheduling and consultation booking. We also support the tools that help our agents work with those customers, like managing and syncing leads, powering outreach, and maintaining privacy and consent systems that keep customer data safe and compliant.
You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, engineers, and business stakeholders to plan and ship projects. The team is small and moves quickly, so you’ll have real ownership and visibility in your work. Most of our engineering work today is agent-driven: we use tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex daily, and the job is less about typing code yourself and more about scoping the work well, directing AI tools effectively, and catching it when they get something wrong. We're looking for engineers who are good at that loop, not just comfortable with AI tools existing.
This is a full-time role that will report into our Senior Software Engineer and be based out of the New York office, where we are in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
