About Abode

Abode is an AI fintech startup helping homeowners automate savings on property taxes, energy, insurance and more. We use proprietary agentic AI to simplify data retrieval, parsing, analysis and decisioning to optimize costs on behalf of homeowners.

We believe today’s consumer requires a “no brainer” value prop and a frictionless user experience. Our users are saving $2,512 / year and it takes less than 60 seconds to sign up.

We’re building Abode in a post AI world, meaning we’re incredibly lean and layer AI into both our foundational technology and core business functions. Our team operates with a bias for action, a deep sense of customer empathy, and a scrappy, resourceful mindset.

We’re backed by Tier 1 investors, including: Drive, Sequoia, Goodwater, Core and 81C.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: Make homeownership more affordable for everyday homeowners.

We’re leveraging AI to bring more transparency and less friction to home financial services. Our goal is to be the 1st place every homeowner goes to make any decision related to homeownership. Abode will be to homeowners what Zillow is to homebuyers.

Who We’re Looking For

We're looking for a highly proficient AI agent developer to partner with us on a project-based contract. This is a focused, high-impact initiative to build an intelligent agent that will serve both internal operations and customer-facing use cases.

This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in AI agent architecture, orchestration, and deployment, who can take ownership of a scoped project and deliver tangible outcomes.

You should be fluent in building agents that can handle real-world workflows, integrate with various systems, and operate reliably in production environments.

The following are a must:

• Proven experience building and shipping AI agents (LLM-based or hybrid)
• Deep understanding of prompt engineering, agent frameworks, tool use, and orchestration
• Ability to manage the full cycle: scoping, prototyping, deploying, and iterating
• Comfortable working independently
• Clear communication, reliable delivery, and a sharp eye for practical execution

Our Values in Action

At Abode, our core values shape who we are and how we work:

• Customer Empathy First – We work backward from homeowner needs, always asking: How can we make this easier and better for them?
• Hustle, Grit, and Scrappiness – We do more with less and find creative ways to make things happen. No one here says, “That’s not my job.”
• AI & Automation – We believe in using AI to build our core technology and support business function. We’re automating away operational tasks.
• Build Trust Early and Often – Homeownership is a high-stakes space. Everything we do (whether onboarding users or crafting UX) must instill trust.
