REIT developing and operating 90,000+ apartment homes across U.S. markets
AvalonBay is a publicly traded REIT with 1,000–5,000 employees managing a portfolio of over 90,000 apartment units across major U.S. markets. The tech stack reflects a capital-intensive, operations-driven business: CAD and BIM tools (Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam) dominate design and construction workflows, while Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow handle leasing, HR, and facilities. Hiring velocity is steady, with operations (construction, maintenance, property management) consuming 70% of open roles—consistent with a company scaling development pipelines and managing existing assets rather than building software.
Notable leadership hires: Learning & Development Director, Lead Maintenance Technician
