What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full Stack Engineer (Los Angeles) position at Realm?
About the Role:
We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our fast-moving product and engineering team. You'll help build and refine the tools that power Realm's mission to transform the home renovation experience.
You'll build features that help homeowners price, scope, and visualize their projects; empower contractors to evaluate, bid, and manage them; and streamline operations for Realm's home advisor team. Along the way, you'll be at the forefront of AI innovation.
You'll work across the stack using React on the frontend and Ruby on Rails on the backend, collaborating closely with design and product to bring new ideas to life. This is a great role for someone who's excited to take more ownership of their work, grow quickly, and make a real impact at a fast-paced startup.
This is a full-time, Los Angeles-based hybrid role (3-4 days in office depending on your location).
About Realm:
Realm is on a mission to help homeowners complete their renovations and new builds with confidence, ease, and financial clarity. We guide them through every step of the pre-construction journey—from understanding timelines and permitting to refining scope and securing financing. We then match homeowners with high-quality contractors, help set expectations, and support them even after construction begins.
We're an early stage startup founded in 2019 building a category-defining platform for home renovation. Our small but mighty team is based primarily in Los Angeles (Marina del Rey).
