Job description

Product Engineer / Technical Product Manager

Seattle, WA (Hybrid)

$90,000 – $120,000 + benefits

Arboreal Management, the service arm of Great Expectations SPC, is building the next generation of property management: an AI-enabled service company that uses software, automation, and data to run thousands of homes better than anyone else in the industry.

We are growing 100–200% per year and rapidly replacing legacy real‑estate software with our own internal platform, Maynard. Maynard sits at the center of our operating flywheel:

Better software → better staff → better owner results → more properties → more data → even better software

We are hiring a Product Engineer / Technical Product Manager to own that flywheel from the product side. We ship new features every week, and this role directly determines what gets built, in what order, and how it lands with users.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who wants to shape what gets built, why it gets built, and how it ships inside a real, fast‑growing business.

Arboreal is part of Great Expectations SPC, a Social Purpose Corporation. Our work supports a broader mission to increase the supply and quality of affordable housing across the Pacific Northwest.

What you’ll do

You will be the person who turns Arboreal’s business needs into a clear, executable product roadmap for Maynard.

That means you will:

• Own the platform roadmap across leasing, accounting, operations, reporting, and compliance
• Work directly with our Founder to shape product vision and priorities
• Work directly with internal users to:
• Understand what’s broken
• Identify what’s missing
• Spot what’s slowing them down
• Support rollout of new features
• Translate those needs into:
• Clear product specs
• Prioritized backlogs
• Well‑defined engineering work
• Decide what gets built now, next, and later, from major features to small improvements
• Work daily with our distributed engineering team to:
• Clarify scope
• Answer questions
• Keep projects moving
• Use AI‑first development tools (Cursor, Claude, GitHub) to:
• Review and shape implementations
• Make small changes directly when helpful
• Keep velocity high and friction low

You are not just managing tasks.

You are shaping the evolution of the platform that runs the company.

The kind of person who thrives here

This role is for someone who sits comfortably between users and code.

You are likely someone who:

• Has worked in product, engineering, or technical operations (3–5 years)
• Is comfortable reading code and discussing architecture
• Uses AI tools to move fast and learn new systems
• Likes making decisions and taking ownership

You don’t need to be a senior engineer.

You do need to be code‑literate, curious, and unblocked by technology.

Why Arboreal is different

Most property‑management companies are stuck on off‑the‑shelf software and manual workflows. That creates burnout, limits scale, and holds back a $50B+ industry where even the largest players have less than 2% market share.

Arboreal is building something different:

• vertically integrated, AI‑enabled service company
• With its own software stack
• With real scale and real users

Maynard isn’t a side project.

It is how the company runs.

Your work will directly affect how:

• Homes get leased
• Rent gets collected
• Owners get paid
• Compliance gets handled
• Teams do their jobs

Few product roles have this much real‑world impact.
