- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively across functions.
- Sales and marketing awareness, including comfort supporting investor conversations, product positioning, and technical input into go-to-market efforts.
- Research skills for evaluating technologies, understanding market trends in the built environment and capital markets, and informing product decisions.
- Proven experience architecting and building software products (e.g., web applications, data platforms, or analytics tools), ideally in an early-stage or startup context.
- Hands-on expertise with modern development tools and practices (e.g., cloud infrastructure, APIs, version control, CI/CD, testing, and security-by-design).
- Ability to operate as both an individual contributor and a strategic leader, comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
