Lead Backend Developer

We are TrendTech, a product IT company that develops products for the real estate market in Russia and abroad.

Five years ago, we started as an R&D center, and today we are a dynamic and independent business.

We are an accredited IT company and a Skolkovo participant.

With the help of the IT platforms we develop, properties worth over 50 billion rubles are sold monthly (according to an internal study on the amount of agreements concluded with Developers thanks to the TrendAgent and TrendRealty platforms).

Our goal is to create digital tools that will allow the transfer of all stages of selecting and acquiring real estate to an online format.

We implement and develop products for B2B and B2C markets:

1. TrendAgent — a platform for automating work for professionals, which allows offering a huge number of apartments from Developers, as well as working effectively with clients thanks to a large number of advanced online tools.

2. TrendRealty — a platform that allows clients to find detailed information about apartments for sale through implemented technological solutions and prompt online interaction with a large number of specialists.

We are creating an online space that unites all players in the real estate market — developers, banks, insurance companies, real estate agencies, sellers, and buyers. This is not another advertising platform with duplicate listings or a site that forces specific banks' mortgages on you. This is a fundamentally new product for the real estate market, where market participants interact with each other in a transparent digital environment. Our monetization model is based on transaction volume, not advertising.

Currently, our market share in St. Petersburg's real estate market reaches 50% (based on information received from construction companies: LSR Group, PIK, CDS, FSK, A101, etc.), and the number of users is increasing monthly.
