NOW HIRING: Marketing Manager w/ Real Estate Experience

Company: AgentFire.com

Website: https://agentfire.com

Headquarters: Remote


AgentFire is a complete real estate website solution used by agents, teams, and brokerages throughout the US and Canada. Our core offering is the ‘Spark Site’ - which our customers can dress up via various design options, and power up via incredible proprietary as well as 3rd party ‘addons’ - so that they can get the perfect solution based on their unique needs!

Founded in 2013, AgentFire has become the #1 reviewed real estate website solution on Facebook and Google (out of hundreds of competitors) - and we’re now ready to launch our Affiliate Partner program, which we have every reason to believe is what will take our company to that next level.


About the position:

  • We’re growing fast and we’re looking for someone to work directly under our CEO to take the lead on various initiatives such as
  • Coordinate within each of our departments (sales, support and design) to be able to effectively manage top-level marketing initiatives
  • Managing our team of writers & help establish processes to get backlinks & guest post opportunities on other blogs
  • Manage our advertising & sales funnels (drip emails, auto-responders and more
  • Work with our Affiliate Manager(s) to expand our Affiliate Partner Program (our MOST important growth initiative)


What we’re looking for in an ideal candidate:

  1. Copywriting:
    Someone who will understand our platform, tools on how to communicate those things to our target audience via compelling, succinct, SEDUCTIVE copy! You should understand how to write GREAT ads, GREAT emails, and GREAT blog posts (we have a team of writers to handle that last one, but we’ll still need you to step in once in a while when we have new features or massively important initiatives that require someone with expert knowledge of our product and target audience).
  2. Marketing & Advertising
    We have extremely talented marketing & graphics people, but we’ll expect you to be able to create new ad ideas (based on a combination of research and intuition… but more so research!) and coordinate large campaigns to drive more awareness and more sales!
  3. Real Estate Experience
    Experience having worked in a technology or marketing role within the real estate industry in SOME capacity. If you’re a former agent with a passion for technology and marketing… that works just as well!
  4. Managing Teams & Systems
    To be able to do everything we need to do, we’ll need the help of our very talented team members and bullet-proof systems. We’ll expect you to have experience working within and/or managing teams of people, using technology like Asana (what we use) or something similar.
  5. Passion
    Just as important as anything we listed above, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about what they do! We’ve got a passionate team here and we’ve got an ‘energy’ that anyone we hire will be expected to positively contribute to!


Hours & Compensation:

We’ll expect around 40 hours a week, and for you to be mostly available during standard EST hours (although we’re flexible here!) but beyond that, this is a 100% remote position and there are no geographic requirements.

We are only considering candidates with fluent/native spoken English.

Compensation will start at $20-$35/hr based on previous experience and how much of a fit you are for the position, and we can quickly increase and create additional compensation incentives based on your performance!


How to Apply

Please submit a short video detailing your overall experience as it relates to the position (please address the 5 points listed above!) and send it to hiring@agentfire.com with the subject line: AgentFire Growth Manager Position.

NOW HIRING: Senior DevOps Engineer

Company: Showcase IDX

Website: https://showcaseidx.com

Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia, United States


Showcase IDX is a leader in home search, consumer engagement, and lead generation for real estate agents and teams. In August 2020, we were acquired by eXp World Holdings (Nasdaq: EXPI) and will continue to operate as an independent company. For our sister company, eXp Realty, we will be developing a national and international search portal product, while maintaining the growth of our existing business.

This is a rare opportunity to join our team at the beginning of a new mission, as we look to redefine how people find and buy homes on a national and eventually international scale. We are rethinking today's generic home search experience and creating a set of next-generation tools that will help millions of people around the world find and buy their next home. To achieve these ambitious goals, we'll be keeping things simple and transparent in the product design, code, and team. We believe that simple can be hard, but simple is worth the effort.

It's important to us that work is as enjoyable and drama-free as possible. Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows, but we've got each other's backs, and come together to help each other when we're unsure, stuck, or facing adversity. We like making well-reasoned decisions and making them quickly. We don't particularly like too many meetings, but we love working together to figure things out. We're laid back with each other, don't take ourselves too seriously, and laugh (probably more than we should), but we ship awesome, well-documented, and tested code, often.

Our team is made up of experienced, talented people who see opportunities where others may not. We understand that innovation comes from experience, experimentation, iteration, taking smart risks, and rejecting the idea that the status quo is the only or best way to solve a problem. You'll be challenged by big ideas, and have the opportunity to influence a product that truly impacts one of the biggest decisions in people's lives in very real ways.

We are picky about our code. We want our codebase to be readable, maintainable, performant, reliable, and well-tested. We encourage use of language features to make code more readable, not overly clever. We aggressively, but nicely, code-review each other. We learn from each other, and push each other to get better.

We believe that delivering value outweighs how many hours you work or where you work. In our eyes, the best performance and outcomes come from focusing on our personal and team growth and development. We provide a flexible work schedule, generous vacation, a relaxed work environment, and opportunities for professional growth and development. You'll never be asked to come into an office.
