Founding AI Platform Engineer

Our client is a seed-stage enterprise AI company building an AI platform specifically for the commercial real estate industry. Its platform transforms a firm's documents and data into a structured knowledge graph that AI agents can reason over, helping investors, owners, operators, and developers automate workflows and access reliable answers backed by source citations.

The company combines a recurring platform subscription with forward-deployed engineers who build custom workflows within client environments. Its vision is to become the foundational AI platform for the commercial real estate industry, bringing agentic workflows, transparency, and governance to a traditionally underserved market.

Backed by a real-estate-focused venture fund with strong industry relationships, the company already works with established commercial real estate firms. This is an opportunity to join a small, five-person team, work directly with the CEO, and take founding-level ownership of a product with significant growth potential.

Our client is looking for a Senior AI Platform Engineer to build and own the core platform powering its enterprise AI products. While forward-deployed engineers focus on developing custom applications for individual clients, this role focuses on identifying common patterns across those engagements and turning them into reusable platform capabilities.

This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering position with significant architectural ownership. You w
