Florida Realtors, the state's largest trade association, boasts a rich dedicated history of serving our members, the real estate community, and Florida homeowners for over a century. We stand as a key business partner for Realtors statewide, providing value-adding programs and services, outstanding business contacts and networking opportunities, engaging educational opportunities, up-to-the-minute industry data and research, and powerful legislative representation.

Florida Realtors is seeking a Mid-Level Application Developer to join our Applications Development team and help build, enhance, maintain, and support the web-based applications that serve our members and staff across Florida.
This is a hands-on full-stack application development role with a strong backend/PHP focus. The ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in software development, application architecture, databases, APIs, and modern web development, along with the curiosity and problem-solving skills to work across both established and evolving technology environments.
You will participate throughout the software development lifecycle—from understanding business needs and designing solutions to development, testing, deployment, documentation, and production support. You will work closely with the Applications Development team, business stakeholders, vendors, and internal clients to turn business requirements into reliable, secure, and maintainable technology solutions.
This role is well suited for a developer who enjoys more than simply writing code. You will have the opportunity to understand how applications support the organization, identify opportunities for improvement, modernize existing solutions, and contribute ideas that make our systems and processes more effective.
You will be part of a collaborative team environment where developers are encouraged to learn, share knowledge, communicate openly, and continuously improve their technical skills. This is a long-term opportunity for a developer who values stability, meaningful work, collaboration, and the opportunity to grow within an established organization.
The position has no supervisory responsibilities.
