Technical Product Manager

Technical Product Manager

Tysons, Virginia

Have you ever lived or worked in a rental community? Did you observe the variety of hardware and software solutions needed to operate the building, and perhaps dream-up improvements when the technology didn't work correctly? If the prospect of working on complex systems that improve the efficiency and profitability of billion-dollar real estate portfolios excites you, and if you have a passion for improving the lives of millions of residents using your technology every day, PointCentral wants to talk!

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to join our Enabling Technologies engineering team, working on the physical access systems that are essential for safe and efficient property operations. Vehicle gates, amenity spaces, unit doors anywhere people move within a community access control is what ensures the right people can get to the right places at the right times. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and product: you'll ship production code alongside your fellow engineers while also driving the technical research, market discovery, and specification work that turns our product vision into a buildable roadmap.

This is a role for an experienced, product-curious software engineer who wants more ownership over what gets built, not just how. You'll partner closely PointCentral's Product Leadership to translate high-level product vision into concrete technical opportunities particularly around integrating new third-party access control devices and protocols. You'll continue to write and ship production code as part of our core engineering team, while building the muscle to eventually take on a full product role.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and ship production code as an active contributor to the Enabling Technologies engineering team, partnering with fellow engineers to increase the team's overall shipping velocity
• Build and ship prototypes and proofs-of-concept to quickly validate new integration approaches and de-risk product decisions before committing engineering resources
• Demonstrate proficiency in leveraging AI tools to accelerate both engineering delivery and product research

Job Requirements:

• 4-6 years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production code
• Working knowledge of SQL for database operations and Object-Oriented Programming to read and navigate codebase
• Experience evaluating, designing or integrating with RESTful APIs, webhooks and event-driven architectures preferred
• Genuine comfort working with hardware, devices, and physical appliances, and interest in learning access control protocols and standards
• Demonstrated curiosity about the "why" behind what you build prior experience or strong interest in product thinking, technical research, or spec writing is a plus, though formal product management experience is not required
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate ambiguous, high-level product direction into clear technical specifications
• Comfortable with ambiguity
• Willingness to occasionally support customer-facing activities (calls, onsite visits) as needed this is not a primarily customer-facing role, but some exposure should be expected
• Real estate, PropTech, or IoT experience is a plus but not required
• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field required

• Collaborate with outstanding people: We hire only the best. Our standards are high, and our employees enjoy working alongside other high achievers.
