At Percy, we're building new ways to connect talented professionals with meaningful career opportunities at leading companies in the multifamily industry. We're currently seeking an Affordable Housing Compliance Expert to join a product and affordable compliance team based in New York, NY, with remote work considered for the right profile.

This is a rare chance to help build an affordable housing compliance product from the ground up, translating real-world regulations into product requirements that engineers can implement. You’ll bring deep, multi-program expertise, review system-generated certifications for accuracy, and work directly with customers to ensure the platform reflects how layered affordable portfolios operate in practice.

If you'd like to be considered, please submit a resume for review.
