Principal Solution Architect

Occulytics is building the data layer for the senior living industry.

We partner with operators and investors to turn fragmented data into systems that drive occupancy, pricing, and growth. Our work goes beyond dashboards—we design end-to-end data and decision platforms used across portfolios.

We’re a fast-growing company operating at the intersection of data, analytics, and real-world operations in a large, underserved market.

We’re hiring a Principal Solution Architect to own the technical direction of our client work.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role combining architecture, delivery leadership, and system design. You’ll define how we build—and ensure everything we ship meets a high bar.

You’ll work across:

• Data platforms and analytics systems
• KPI and modeling layers
