Buena's Mission
Buena makes real estate as simple and transparent as buying an ETF. Whether it's finding, buying, or financing an apartment. We do this by acquiring property managers across Germany and turning them into technology companies. Throughout the past 2 years we have become Germany's third-largest property manager with less than 25 full-time team members at our HQ.
The Product Engineer Role
We're hiring a Product Engineer to help us rebuild an industry stuck in the early 2000s. Property managers across Germany still run on outdated desktop software with clunky workflows and zero automation. You'll own features end-to-end, from understanding the user problem to shipping the solution. You'll work directly with our property managers, think in systems, and build software that replaces decades-old tools. This is not a ticket-execution role. You'll shape what we build and how we build it.
