We’re here to change that by building modern, AI-powered software that simplifies operations, empowers homeowners, ensures transparency, and protects property values. By joining our team, you’ll be part of a movement to reshape an entire industry, and you’ll have the chance to make a real impact, not only on the product but on the lives of millions of homeowners.

- Shape the Future of AI in Workflows: Work on integrating AI/LLM capabilities to create seamless, intelligent automations that redefine how users interact with our product. This includes prompt engineering, fine-tuning models, multi-modal inference, and agentic design.

- Drive Key Tech Decisions: Help shape our technology stack, define APIs, and scale new capabilities. Your input will directly influence the trajectory of our product and company.

- Innovate and Iterate: We move fast. You'll be responsible for building and shipping features frequently, continuously learning and adapting to ensure we’re delivering the best experience for our users.
