• Research and vet new external data sources such as public property databases, municipal documents, API feeds, infrastructure datasets, and online portals to broaden the platform intelligence.
• Perform competitive product benchmarking, evaluating features and UI/UX flows to spot gaps; contribute to shaping internal tools and dashboards.
• Engage with local real estate developers, property managers, and agents to gather unstructured data regarding properties, yields, and transactions.
• Develop standard operating procedures and test documentation, and provide detailed feedback and specifications to developers for workflow improvements.

• Curiosity in technology and product operations, understanding the interplay of backend pipelines, dashboards, and AI agents in delivering property insights.
• Proficiency with tools like Postman, LLM playgrounds (ChatGPT, Claude, OpenAI API), SQL editors, and Python scripting for dataset evaluation.
• Ability to communicate effectively and clearly with developers and leadership, articulating bugs, insights, and research outcomes.
