To date, we’ve helped over 1 million families find their ideal home, and we’re just getting started!

The AI Nurture team uses cutting-edge AI and GenAI technologies to revolutionize the apartment renting experience and engage with millions of renters, bridging the gap between renters and property managers. As a Senior Software Engineer (SE4) on this team, you will play a key role in shaping the future of AI-driven real estate solutions. Your work will contribute to launching new products, improving existing ones, and driving cross-functional initiatives, including technical consolidation projects.

Reporting directly to the Co-Founder & CTO of AI Nurture (acquired by Apartment List in 2022), you will strengthen internal partnerships and foster international collaboration between the US and Israeli teams.

• Problem Solver: Unblock progress even in challenging situations
• Technical Leadership: Scope, architect, and deliver complex engineering projects
• Agile & Scrum Experience: Comfortable working in iterative development cycles
• Constant learner: Always seeking to learn and try new technologies

Timezone: Must be located on East Coast time to maximize overlap with US and IL teams

Advantages:

What’s in it for you:

• Work on cutting-edge AI technologies including generative AI
• Great environment with passionate colleagues
• Key role in a dynamic, international R&D environment
• Technical challenges and collaboration opportunities
• High impact in the prop-tech field
