Technical Lead / Product Architect – Real Estate Intelligence and Lead Generation Engine

We are building a real estate data, CRM, lead generation, and AI automation platform for internal business use.

The platform will combine property records, owner information, contact data, CRM history, public data sources, lead scoring, campaign workflows, dashboards, and AI-assisted recommendations into one centralized operating system.

This is not a basic website or a simple chatbot. This is a data-driven internal software platform with CRM, dashboard, automation, and AI components.

We are looking for a Technical Lead / Software Architect who can help turn the business requirements into a practical, scalable technical plan and guide the development team through the first MVP and future phases.

The right candidate should be able to understand both technical systems and business workflows. We need someone who can take a large product vision and break it into a practical, organized MVP that can be built, tested, and improved.

• Help select the appropriate technology stack
• Create a 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day technical roadmap
• Break development into clear tasks for frontend, backend, data, and AI developers
• Review code, architecture decisions, and database design
• Set up or improve GitHub workflow, branches, pull requests, and development standards
• Help evaluate developers and review paid test tasks
• Identify technical risks early

• Communicate clearly with a non-technical founder

• Data import from CSV, Excel, APIs, and future public data sources
• Clean property, owner, contact, company, and CRM records

• Experience working with structured data

Preferred experience:
