Software Engineer, Product
The American Housing CorporationAbout the role
As a Product Engineer, you will help build Alamo, the internal software platform that powers The American Housing Corporation’s manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, production, real estate, design, and operations workflows.
You will work directly with the people running the business to understand real operational problems, shape product solutions, and ship software that makes the company faster, clearer, and more capable. You will build tools that help architects design homes, help real estate teams identify developable opportunities, and help manufacturing teams turn those designs into physical products.
This role is ideal for an engineer with strong product instincts, excellent taste in user experience, and the technical depth to take ideas from ambiguous problem to reliable production system.
The role is based full-time in Austin, TX.
What You’ll Be Working On
Build product workflows for Alamo, our internal MES/ERP platform.
Build software that helps architects design, configure, and refine homes from concept through production.
Build tools that help the real estate team evaluate land, identify developable opportunities, and understand project feasibility.
Work closely with manufacturing, supply chain, finance, design, real estate, and operations teams to understand their workflows and identify high-leverage product opportunities.
Turn messy operational processes into simple, elegant, and reliable software.
Own features end-to-end: discovery, design, implementation, rollout, iteration, and maintenance.
Build polished user experiences using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui.
Develop backend services, database models, and APIs that support mission-critical operational workflows.
Help define the product and design standards for internal software at AHC.
Improve speed, quality, traceability, and decision-making across the business.
Qualifications
3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Strong fullstack engineering ability, especially with TypeScript, React, and relational databases.
Excellent product judgment and a track record of building software that users genuinely adopt.

About The American Housing Corporation
The American Housing Corporation is focused on one of the world’s most neglected engineering frontiers: housing. Based in Austin, Texas with developments underway across the country, we’re an organization of engineers, builders, and architects working to industrialize the homebuilding process, bringing an abundance of beautiful starter homes to the nation’s most dynamic cities and neighborhoods. We’re motivated by a simple truth: housing is the cornerstone of the American Dream. Today, too many families are forced out of the cities they love because attainable, high-quality homes no longer get built. We call it the Missing Middle. We’re here to solve that crisis by fundamentally rethinking how homes are designed, delivered, and assembled in America. We’re not the first to make this promise — but we are the first to fully own the machine behind it. From buying land to building our own factories, software, equipment, and homes, we control every step of the development process. This vertically integrated, end-to-end approach gives us unprecedented control over quality, cost, speed, and aesthetics, while creating a rare opportunity for engineers to work on high-stakes problems at a national scale. If you want to build beautiful things that shape the lives of millions — and do for housing what modern technology has done for aerospace, energy, and defense — we’d love to hear from you.
