About The Position

About Hypha Hypha is an AI-native platform transforming asset management across the full lifecycle—acquisition, management, and exit. Focused on healthcare facilities and multifamily real estate, we're revolutionizing the industry through three key pillars: Observability: Providing real-time visibility into asset performance, deal progress, and market conditions for all stakeholders Intelligence: Enabling AI-driven multidimensional optimization with risk scores, tax strategies, and benchmarking Orchestration: Creating seamless workflows and a single source of truth to eliminate inefficiencies Role Overview As a lead engineer, you’ll take full ownership of a product area - from initial concept, through production, and into ongoing support. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders to shape your team’s roadmap and set clear priorities. By working directly with users and partnering with internal product and GTM teams, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the problems we solve and translate those insights into thoughtful, high-quality solutions with product and design. You’ll guide sprint planning, mentor and delegate work to other engineers, and uphold engineering excellence across the team. But this is also a hands-on role: you’ll spend a meaningful portion of your time designing and writing code yourself.
