You'll also enhance our collaborative environment by mentoring your engineering colleagues and promote knowledge within and across development teams.

In this leadership role, you will partner cross functionally with Innovation, Analytics, Project Management, QA, and IT to help craft and deliver software and analytical products that allow our professionals to illustrate real estate markets and help our clients find more successful outcomes.  In doing this, we focus on intuitive design, analytical rigor, and innovative visualizations to demonstrate complex data relationships and support data-driven decision making.
