Cheers to Maria Dalarcao, Software Engineering Manager, for her inclusion on Women Impact Tech’s Women of Impact Honorees list for 2025! These talented individuals have been chosen for “surpassing expectations; actively advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); and championing gender equity in the technical field, all while paving the way for the next generation of women to excel.”

Maria started her journey at Realtor.com as a Senior Software Engineer. Although she hadn’t ever considered a management path in her career, she was inspired by her leaders to grow into a manager role. “I have now been managing a fantastic team for two years,” said Maria. “I find joy in teamwork and strive to support collaboration at all levels.”

Maria’s one of the original organizers of our Women in Tech (WIT) program, and currently serves as the Co-chair of our Inspiring Women Employee Resource Group. She understands the challenges of being the only female engineer on a team. “I aim to help others entering the industry to have a strong start, make meaningful contributions, and progress professionally while keeping their authenticity,” said Maria.

Especially passionate about supporting women in technology careers, Maria takes pride in setting the stage for the next generation of women to succeed in this field. “As the mother of a daughter who is about to make her career decision, I want her to feel welcome in the tech industry—and who is going to pave paths for future generations if not us?”

Congratulations, Maria—we take pride in YOU.
