Own end-to-end launches of affordable housing scoring configurations for new states. Translate state housing guidelines into system logic, execute scripts and data operations, validate scoring with SQL, perform QA, manage timelines and risks, resolve rule ambiguities, and support customers through scoring updates. The role combines technical implementation, project management, quality assurance, and customer advocacy without requiring traditional software engineering.
About Parcell
Parcell is a modern site-selection and scoring platform built for affordable housing developers leveraging the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. LIHTC is responsible for roughly 85% of all affordable housing development in the U.S., and every state administers the program through its own Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP)—a complex set of scoring rules that developers must navigate.
Our platform used AI to turn this complexity into clarity. We help developers pinpoint the best sites, optimize scoring, and make higher-confidence decisions in minutes instead of weeks. Industry leaders often describe Parcell as “the ChatGPT for LIHTC site selection.” We work with many of the most reputable affordable housing developers in the country including the likes of Pivotal Housing, Columbia Residential and Dominium (all in top 50 affordable developers nationwide).
We are headquartered in Atlanta, GA, with a remote team composed of highly driven technologists, former executives and entrepreneurs. The founders are Sang Venkatraman and Carlos Lawton.
About the Role
Launching a new state on Parcell is a high-ownership, high-impact technical challenge. Because each state has its own scoring system, rules, and data requirements, every launch is like solving a new puzzle.
We are looking for someone who is part project manager, part technical implementer, part quality assurance, and part customer advocate. If you're strong with SQL, comfortable running scripts, enjoy digging into rule systems, and want to be the expert responsible for bringing new states live on our platform, you’ll thrive in this role.
This role is ideal for someone who likes end-to-end ownership, technical problem solving, and visible impact—without needing to be a software engineer.
