JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY Greystar's D²AI organization (Data, Digital, and AI) is responsible for the platforms, processes, and practices that power analytics and AI across the company. This role sits on Decision Intelligence, the team within D²AI that turns that capability into better business decisions. The name is the mandate: we exist to make the company's decisions faster, sharper, and better informed, not simply to produce reports. We require AI fluency because this role sits at the intersection of data, technology, and business outcomes. That means understanding how AI systems are designed and operationalized, using AI-enabled tools in your day-to-day work, and partnering effectively with engineering, analytics, and business teams so the solutions we ship are reliable, responsible, and impactful.

We hire for Greystar, not for a single team. You'll join a fast-paced group and work across many initiatives as we modernize and rethink how the company operates. That range is the benefit: broad exposure to the business, real variety in the problems you solve, and the chance to help shape a multi-billion dollar global operator rather than maintain one corner of it. The people who thrive here are versatile, self-directed, and able to pick up unfamiliar business context quickly.

Decision Intelligence reports through Technology, but each pod's priorities and success are defined by the business it serves, not by the technology organization. Instead of a central intake queue, the team organizes into small, forward-deployed pods: analysts and engineers who sit alongside one another, each pod devoted to a critical area of the business such as Marketing, Property Operations, Resident, or FP&A. Pods become a standing part of that business rather than a rotating project resource. The best of what a pod builds graduates onto shared platforms, so a win in one area of the business becomes a capability for the whole company. JOB DESCRIPTION

Greystar is building the data foundation that will power the most AI-advanced operator in global multifamily real estate. As an Analytics Engineer on one of Decision Intelligence's forward-deployed pods, you'll turn that foundation into working data products that a business team uses to make decisions every day, whether those are traditional dashboards, predictive models, or lightweight web apps. Our team includes engineers, designers, and product leaders with experience from Google, Microsoft, Airbnb, Strava, and Amazon.

You'll spend most of your time devoted to one critical area of the business rather than behind a ticket queue. You'll learn its data, workflows, and real pain points firsthand, then use SQL, Python, Databricks, and AI tooling to build the product that solves the actual problem. AI is core to how this team works, not an afterthought: you're expected to use it daily to build faster, and we'll actively support you in doing that well. In practice, that means pods regularly ship predictive models and working web applications, the kind of work that would have required a dedicated engineering team not long ago.

Once you pick up an initiative, we expect you to own your piece from question through delivery, hand it off cleanly, and move to the next. Some initiatives will play to a deep specialty; others will ask you to learn a new part of the business fast. Comfort with that kind of movement is part of the job. As your understanding of the business deepens, you'll grow from answering its questions to bringing it recommendations of your own, and you'll be a confident, trusted voice in the room, from working sessions with on-site operators to briefings with senior leaders and executives.

What You'll Do Own Initiatives End to End • Take assigned initiatives from the original business question through a data product people actually use to decide, staying with the work through deployment and handoff. • Embed inside your assigned area of the business, learning its goals, data, and workflows well enough to spot the highest-value opportunities yourself. • As your understanding deepens, bring the business proactive recommendations, not just answers to the questions it already knows to ask. • Default to doing it right; when speed is genuinely required, ship a usable solution with a documented path back to the governed, certified standard. Build Data Products That Drive Decisions • Ship a working data product quickly, ranging from a dashboard to a statistical model to a lightweight web app, then iterate live with the people who will use it. • Build and maintain the data models behind those products in Databricks and SQL, with real rigor around grain, keys, and referential integrity so results hold up under scrutiny. • Design sound experiments and measurement plans to establish baselines and prove out program impact, keeping correlation and causation distinct. • Present findings, trade-offs, and recommendations to stakeholders ranging from on-site operators to senior leaders and executives, tailoring the message to the audience. • Iden
