Background
Real estate technology platforms operate at the intersection of operational efficiency and user experience. For Tonomo, this meant building a product that could handle high volumes of bookings, automate workflows, and remain intuitive for end users.
Scaling such a platform requires engineers who can work across frontend, backend, and quality assurance while maintaining performance and reliability.
Challenges
Hiring for a workflow automation platform requires candidates who understand both product logic and system scalability.
Tonomo needed to fill several engineering roles simultaneously, each requiring different technical expertise but all contributing to a single product ecosystem. Ensuring consistency in hiring decisions while maintaining speed became a key challenge.
At the same time, competition for experienced developers in the US market added pressure on timelines.
High demand for engineers with SaaS and workflow automation experience
Multiple roles across frontend, backend, and QA opened in parallel
Competitive US talent market for mid and senior engineers
Need for alignment across product and engineering expectations
Requirement for consistent and structured evaluation

We began with role calibration sessions to clearly define expectations for each position. For the Angular Developer, focus was on frontend performance and usability.
