Greystar's D2AI team is responsible for the platforms, processes, and practices that power AI across the organization. This role goes beyond traditional delivery: your decisions influence how data is transformed into intelligent, scalable solutions used by teams company-wide. 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 day-to-day work, and partnering effectively with engineering, analytics, and business teams to ensure AI solutions are reliable, responsible, and impactful.

We hire for Greystar, not for a single team. You'll join a fast paced engineering group and get to 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.

Once you're assigned to a project, we expect you to own your piece end to end and then move on to the next. The engineers who thrive here are versatile, self-directed, and able to pick up unfamiliar business context quickly. In addition to your resume, we suggest that candidates include a short video (2-5 min) demonstrating how you have used AI tools in your engineering workflow: code generation, debugging, architecture, documentation, or similar.

Greystar is building the data foundation that will power the most AI-advanced operator in global multifamily real estate. We're seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and operate the core data infrastructure that enables AI-powered products, analytics, and decision-making across a multi-billion-dollar global portfolio.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and applied AI: you'll build the pipelines, platforms, and interfaces that make Greystar's proprietary data accessible, trustworthy, and AI-ready. You will work across our Data Management Platform (DMP), MCP integrations, and AI-enabled analytics tools that serve every business unit. Our team includes engineers, designers, and product leaders with experience from Google, Microsoft, Airbnb, Strava, Amazon, and more.

You won't be boxed into one standing domain. Once you're assigned, you'll take a project from ingestion through certified “gold” data and into production, hand it cleanly to operations, and then 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.
