Company: PARAKEET COMMUNITIES, LLC

Location: Potomac, MD (with regular travel to Miami, FL)

Job Type: Full-Time, Exempt

============================================================

WHO WE ARE

Parakeet Communities is a rapidly expanding real estate investment company specializing in Manufactured Housing Communities and RV Resorts across the United States. We acquire, upgrade, and operate communities that deliver attainable housing solutions and exceptional experiences for our residents and investors alike.

We are a lean, fast-moving team that aggressively adopts AI across acquisitions, asset management, operations, and reporting. We are now building proprietary tools and internal software—and we are seeking the right innovator to own this frontier. If you have a "Yes" attitude, thrive in a forward-thinking environment, and want a sense of purpose beyond your next paycheck, we encourage you to apply and "Join the Flock!"

THE ROLE

This is not a traditional, siloed departmental position. You will not have a fixed queue of repetitive tasks. Instead, you will operate as your own standalone division, reporting directly to the Co-Founders. You will act as the vital connective tissue between deep AI engineering capabilities and the team running the business operations.

The Core Problem You Will Solve: Our leadership team deeply understands our business and is rapidly embracing AI, but we are only leveraging a fraction of its potential. We are developing AI-driven tools and systems at a pace that outstrips our current ability to standardize, optimize, and scale them effectively. You will bridge this gap.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Tool Development: Collaborate closely with Founders and Department Heads to turn strategic business priorities into practical, production-grade tools and internal software.

- System Hardening: Audit and secure internal builds. Identify fragile code, hidden dependencies, and "Frankenstein" structural risks that break silently. Make our AI-built systems auditable, resilient, and trustworthy.

- Workflow Optimization: Improve the team’s utilization of cutting-edge AI tools (including Claude, Claude Code, custom agents, and supporting infrastructure) to supercharge employee productivity.

- Agentic AI Expansion: Design, scale, and build out robust Agentic AI workflows across various business units.

- In-Sourcing: Transition outsourced projects (such as website development and management) in-house when practical and scalable.

- Executive Collaboration: Attend and contribute to EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) and Leadership calls as a junior member of the Executive Team.

QUALIFICATIONS

1. Experience: 3–5 years of relevant software engineering or technical analysis experience (flexible for the right candidate).

2. Technical Depth: A strong software engineering/coding background. You must understand code at a structural level—not just surface-level prompt engineering.

3. AI Expertise: Hands-on experience building, testing, and scaling Agentic AI workflows.

4. Business Acumen: Experience working within a startup or a fast-paced, real-world business environment.

5. Communication Skills: An exceptional communicator who can seamlessly bridge the gap between deep technical environments and non-technical senior leaders.

6. Autonomy: Highly comfortable being handed a strategic direction rather than a rigid specification document, with the drive to turn ideas into functional reality.

7. Travel: Willingness and ability to travel to Miami, FL on a regular basis.
