About the team

StreetEasy is the most-used local real estate platform in New York City — the place where millions of buyers and renters begin, conduct, and ultimately make one of the highest-stakes decisions of their lives. Unlike when searching for everyday items, our users aren't just looking for quick, easy results. They're navigating a complex market defined by co-op boards, neighborhood nuance, and inventory that moves fast and unevenly. Search & Evaluate sits at the center of that experience, where users spend the most time and where the most critical intent signals are generated.
This role owns the core shopping experience — search, browse, compare, evaluate — and the data and signals it produces that power personalization, agent matching, and growth across the platform.

About the role

• Define and drive the search and shopping experience across web, iOS, and Android, from initial query through listing and building detail, saving and comparing.
• Rethink how we personalize the process of finding a home—a high-stakes, infrequent decision. User intent shifts over months, so our sparse signals have to do more heavy lifting than in typical search contexts.
• Partner with engineering and data science to lead the evolution of our search strategy, prioritizing high-impact AI-native opportunities that will transform how users navigate the market.
• Own the property evaluation pages and experience, helping users navigate NYC-specific nuances like co-op policies and pricing.
• Navigate the structural tension between organic relevance and advertising products that are core to the business model — not a side constraint, but a daily design problem.
• Set the measurement framework for search quality in a non-deterministic, AI-powered experience — defining what "good" looks like when you can't rely on clean A/B tests alone.

This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions.

In California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington state, and Washington DC the standard base pay range for this role is $148,600.00 - $237,400.00 annually. This base pay range is specific to these locations and may not be applicable to other locations. In Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia the standard base pay range for this role is $141,200.00 - $225,600.00 annually.

In addition to a competitive base salary this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location. Actual amounts will vary depending on experience, performance and location. Employees in this role will not be paid below the salary threshold for exempt employees in the state where they reside.

Who you are

• 6+ years of digital product management experience, at least 3 years owning search, relevance or discovery in a marketplace context.
• Owned a search or discovery experience at a transactional, two-sided marketplace, one where supply and demand have competing interests on the same results surface.
• You understand how search and discovery engines function under the hood, and you can apply that knowledge to build ranking and personalization strategies that drive better results.
• Fluency in managing behavioral data as a core product input that powers personalization and agentic systems.
• Track record of running rigorous A/B experiments on search flows — from designing the hypothesis, defining the metrics, interpreting ambiguous results, and making a decision on next steps.
• Exceptional cross-functional leadership, consistently aligning Engineering, Design, Data Science, and business stakeholders through clear product vision and compelling storytelling.
• Experience managing the tension between optimizing the organic user experience and successfully integrating advertising products without compromise.
• Analytical, structured thinker who thrives in ambiguity and moves quickly from insight to action without waiting for perfect information.
