🚀 About the Company: We’re partnering with a well-funded, early-stage startup that’s revolutionizing residential real estate with an AI-powered platform unifying e-signatures, payments, compliance workflows, and intelligent automation. Backed by $6M in seed funding and an elite investor network, the team is now building its founding engineering team from scratch.
🧠 The Opportunity: We’re seeking 1–3 Senior AI/ML Engineers to work closely with the CTO and CEO to design and build advanced machine learning systems that power automation across real estate workflows. This is a rare opportunity to architect, design, and implement NLP, document understanding, and AI-driven automation from the ground up, with direct ownership over the models and systems that will shape the product and technical trajectory of the company.
🔧 What You’ll Do: Design, develop, and deploy production-ready machine learning models for NLP, document parsing, and workflow automation, establishing best practices for model lifecycle management. Lead the technical implementation of AI-driven contract creation, e-signature verification, and payment automation systems. Integrate complex ML solutions with modern web technologies using React, Next.js, Type Script, and Node.js. Architect scalable AI services in a microservices framework, leveraging Supabase, Vercel, and other modern dev tools, while mentoring junior team members. Establish and maintain robust ML pipelines, model monitoring, and CI/CD for AI systems. Research and implement state-of-the-art algorithms in NLP, embeddings, LLMs, and structured data to maintain a competitive edge. Drive technical decision-making and contribute significantly to the overall product and engineering strategy.
💡 What We’re Looking For: 5+ years of professional experience in AI/ML or related software engineering roles, with a track record of deploying systems to production. Expert proficiency in Python, PyTorch/Tensor Flow, and core ML frameworks. Deep experience with NLP, OCR, or document understanding systems, ideally in a regulated or high-accuracy domain. Proven ability to architect and scale ML systems in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).Experience with React, Next.js, Type Script, and Node.js preferred for seamless integration with production platforms. Comfortable taking high-level ownership in zero-to-one environments with high ambiguity and significant impact.
Bonus: Experience in proptech, fintech, or compliance automation, and working with production-level LLMs, embeddings, or generative AI.Must be U.S.-based (remote-first, with hubs in Miami, NYC, SF, or LA preferred).🎁 What You’ll Get Competitive salary + meaningful early equity reflective of a senior, founding role. Direct technical and architectural ownership of AI/ML systems that impact real-world workflows. A chance to shape product architecture and engineering culture from the ground up. Remote flexibility with high autonomy and purpose. Work on a fast-moving, mission-driven team solving complex real-world problems. Ready to build and architect AI systems that redefine real estate workflows? Apply now and join a founding team driving innovation from day one.
