About The Position

Grace Hill is looking for an experienced Principal Product Engineer to focus on our HelloData product, an automated multifamily market analysis platform that leverages daily data updates from hundreds of thousands of property websites and listing sites to drive apartment pricing and investment decisions. If you’re passionate about changing the game in multifamily real estate and thrive in a high-growth, high-reward environment, we invite you to be a part of our journey! Position Overview We are looking for a Principal Product Engineer who is, effectively, a full-stack architect on steroids. Our ideal candidate would be a builder at heart who has taken products from 0 to 1, handling everything from database design and serverless architecture to the frontend UI, who is ready to apply that expertise to a platform operating at massive scale. This role is for a pragmatic leader who sits at the intersection of engineering and product. You will serve as the technical anchor for a small team of talented full-stack engineers, driving high coding standards and architectural decisions while translating complex product requirements into shipping code. You will take ownership of a sophisticated codebase, bridging the gap between business strategy and technical execution. If you thrive on end-to-end ownership, building the backend, configuring the cloud infrastructure, and polishing the user experience, this is your opportunity to define the future of a major revenue-generating platform.
