🚀 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, TypeScript, 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/TensorFlow, 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, TypeScript, 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.
