Propy is revolutionizing the real estate industry by building the world's first AI-powered Title and Escrow platform onchain. We have processed over $5B in transactions, and we are on a mission to make closing on a home as easy as buying a stock.

We combine blockchain for security with advanced AI to automate the heavy lifting of closing documents. We aren't just "using" AI; we are building the infrastructure that allows AI agents to securely manage escrow, eliminate fraud, and run 24/7.

We are looking for a pragmatic Applied AI Engineer to join our engineering team.

The role is not about training models and does not involve academic Machine Learning research. It is about building the rails that make AI usable in a high-stakes financial environment. You will bridge the gap between our robust C#/.NET architecture and the probabilistic world of LLMs.

Title and Escrow is a document-heavy industry with zero room for error. Your mission is to use AI to clean up the messiness of real-world real estate data.

You will solve problems like:

• Structured Data Extraction: Converting messy, unstructured data (like emails, PDFs, documents)  from various sources into strictly validated JSON schemas with as close to 100% accuracy as possible.
• Escrow Automation: Designing workflows that reduce human intervention by 50% by intelligently routing tasks based on AI analysis.
• Fraud Detection: Implementing deterministic logic checks on bank and financial documents to detect fraud patterns before they happen.

• Engineer the Integration: Writing production-grade code that interacts with external AI APIs
• "Prompt Engineering" as Code: You won't just write prompts; you will version, test, and optimize them. You will define strict schemas to ensure the AI speaks the language of our internal tools.
• Orchestrate & Validate: Help in building the logic that parses AI responses, validates them against our database (MongoDB), and flags inconsistencies before they reach the user.
• Full-Stack Implementation: Work to visualize AI-aided services and data for user review and approval.
• Collaborate: Work closely with the other senior engineers and product owners to translate complex "Title & Escrow" schemas into technical constraints that an AI can understand.

• Developer DNA: You are a software engineer first. You have strong experience in Python (C# / .NET is an advantage) and understand programming in depth. 
• Applied AI Experience: You have integrated LLMs into applications via API. Have experience with not only models but also AI frameworks. Experience with workflows, AI agent building and orchestration. You understand context windows, token limits, temperature, and guardrails.
• Data Handling: Experience with handling complex data structures.
• The "Glue" Mindset: You enjoy writing the code that connects different services ( like the AWS, AI APIs, and Database) to make a seamless features.
• Collaborative Autonomy: You will own the AI domain, but you won't be on an island. You will be embedded in a senior engineering team that supports you with architecture, code reviews, and best practices.

• Experience with AWS infrastructure.
• Familiarity with the US Real Estate, Title, or Escrow process.

• Working in a transparent environment which focuses on solving problems and getting things done.
• The opportunity to work with very smart and driven people.
• The ability to grow your talents and career in a high-growth sector.
• A remuneration package that is based on the candidate's motivation, skills, and experience.

Please submit your resume to this job ad along with a portfolio of your AI-related experience, GitHub account and anything else you find applicable.

Please note that this is a senior-level role and is full-time in-office in Boston, MA.

Groma is building the real estate coin, an on-chain asset that represents diversified ownership in a $100MM+ portfolio of buildings. We operate at the intersection of real estate and technology to unlock a new real estate asset class while making it easier for everyone, from institutional investors to the residents in our buildings, to participate in ownership. Our property technology platform uses AI and IoT to bring new efficiencies to the small unit count multifamily sector, enabling us to efficiently acquire, upgrade, and operate these 2-20 unit multifamily buildings and bring institutional performance to this massive but historically overlooked sector. Our investor technology platform makes owning these assets accessible to a broad array of investors, with bespoke vehicles available to institutional and family office investors and our flagship vehicle, the blockchain-powered Groma Real Estate Trust, available to everyone, with a special focus on enabling ownership for the residents in our buildings. Visit to learn more about us.

About the Role

This senior-level role will join a small team of software engineers that build the digital infrastructure and products that power the company. We're looking for someone that has hands-on experience building, deploying, and maintaining smart contracts in a production environment on EVM networks (Ethereum and Base), as well as experience working with a variety of token standards. Specific nice-to-haves include experience with RWAs/real estate, representing securities with compliance constraints on-chain (e.g. ERC-3643), and DeFi protocols like Uniswap.

While we're looking for an engineer with this background, please note that we also expect all engineers to be willing and able to contribute across our entire technology stack. The primary products that you'll be working on include:

• Tools that are designed to make managing our large and growing real estate portfolio highly efficient. These are tools that we use to address the tactical challenges that arise from managing distributed real estate assets as efficiently as possible while still ensuring the best possible resident experience. We use many standard technology solutions, but also IoT smart home technology and AI to solve and optimize many of our resident and maintenance tasks.
• Products that enable investors to initiate and manage their investments into Groma’s real estate funds. A primary goal of Groma is to make real estate work better for everyone. This means not only owning and managing it well, but also expanding ownership opportunities, with audiences ranging from institutional investors to the residents in our buildings.
• Infrastructure to express Groma’s property assets, investor share holdings, and REIT operations on Ethereum and other networks. Blockchain is a powerful tool for us to increase transparency, investor access, and, over time, unlock new functionality to enable our holders to get the most possible value out of owning real estate.

The most important traits for someone joining the team will be:

• Startup interest. We’re an early stage company and still have a lot left to figure out. There will be lots of ups and down, we don’t yet have all of the answers yet and you’ll be a part of finding them.
• Product mindset. As a startup, we need to be fast to identify and solve problems across the business. We do not have a product team, so we expect engineers to be comfortable working directly with stakeholders throughout the business to understand their needs and build pragmatic solutions to them.
• Technical breadth. As a small team, it’s highly valuable for each member to be able to operate across the entirety of our technology stack. This means being willing and able to work on backend and frontend development, our blockchain infrastructure, or occasionally even some spreadsheet hacking.
• Desire to move fast. As an engineering team, we care about building reliable, secure, and easily-maintainable systems, but also recognize the need to move very quickly as we operate within a fast-moving startup. This means finding the right balance between quality and delivery speed.

The core technologies that the team uses are:

• Languages: Python, TypeScript, Solidity
• Frameworks: Django, React
• Infrastructure: Google Cloud, Postgres, Ethereum

This is a role for someone that can quickly ramp up to execute independently and effectively across the range of technologies described above. You do not need to be an expert in everything mentioned, but should be very comfortable building web applications in Django or a comparable framework and at least interested in learning the rest.

About our Culture

At Groma, we’re looking to build something big and are on a fast growth trajectory. A healthy work-life balance is important to our team, but we also expect a high degree of commitment from every team member. We strive to respect individuals and their needs, while also acknowledging the reality that we have a small team that is trying to accomplish some very ambitious goals in a short period of time.

We are also focused on maintaining our dynamic in-office culture at Groma’s headquarters in beautiful downtown Boston, Massachusetts. We believe that in-person collaboration and spontaneous interpersonal interaction is critical to the company’s success at this stage. Also, our office is great! We own the whole building and have made it very much our own space - we’ve got a gym, locker rooms, a game room, a rooftop garden, and all the normal stuff to make an office an effective and fun place to be. We understand that everyone will occasionally need flexibility, but want to be explicit that this is a fully in-person role.

We have an ever-evolving list of values and conventions that guide how we operate as a company, but here are some of our core ones:

• We approach our work with pragmatic idealism that enables us to focus on our desire to make the world a better place in ways big and small while also being open to intelligent compromises that accelerate us on our path to serve our broader societal goals.
• Our whole team believes strongly that the challenges we are trying to solve require effective teams, not individual heroes.
• We have complex conversations well. We sit at the intersection of housing and blockchain policy, both nuanced topics with real world impacts. We pride ourselves on being thoughtful, seeking the best solutions to real world challenges, and implementing them effectively in the real world.

Disclaimers

While we think that this role is an amazing opportunity for the right candidate, we also want to be upfront about some of the reasons that it might not be a fit for you:

• You want to work in a partially or fully remote environment. We take great care to enable flexibility for team members, but our default will always be to be in office together.
• You just want to write code and are less interested in learning about the business. We expect engineers to spend lots of time with stakeholders figuring out what the right problems are to solve (i.e. doing "product" work), then building the solutions to them.
• Job titles are important to you or you're looking for a quick pathway into engineering management. We're a small, flat organization and intend to keep it that way for the foreseeable future. That said, there are many other types of leadership opportunities available.
• You want a highly predictable job. We're a startup and there have been and will continue to be lots of twists and turns in our story - we change direction quickly and throw a lot of things against the wall to see what sticks.
• You don't want to use AI. While there are tradeoffs that must be managed, we believe that AI-powered coding tools will transform the software engineering profession and are a powerful accelerant.

Job Benefits

• Competitive salary and bonus for the Boston area
• Early stage equity
• 5% 401k match
• 100% employer-paid premiums for high-quality health, dental, and vision insurance plans
• Fully covered commuter passes for bus, subway, boat, or commuter rail
• Unlimited PTO
• 13 official company holidays
• 1 floating holiday: We recognize that there are lots of holidays that are meaningful to different people in different ways and we want to celebrate that by enabling team members to have the time/space to commemorate those days however is appropriate, and using it as an opportunity - if they’d like to - to share the meaning of that day with the broader team
• A beautiful office in downtown Boston with a gym, locker rooms, game room, rooftop garden, and at least one catered lunch and breakfast per week

At SMK, you’re not just filling a role, you’re joining a group of professionals who respect each other’s expertise, enjoy working together, and are committed to growing the firm thoughtfully and sustainably.

The Role:

SMK is seeking a seasoned Senior Construction Scheduler to support and lead scheduling efforts for complex infrastructure and heavy civil design and construction projects, which may include transportation, rail, facilities, multi-modal, and large highway programs. The successful candidate will bring advanced Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling expertise, deep hands-on experience with Primavera P6, and a proven ability to develop schedules and analyze, manage, and communicate schedule risks, constraints, and construction sequencing.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being trusted to take ownership of their work and is comfortable operating without heavy oversight. They are naturally curious, ask the right questions early, and think several steps ahead when developing or reviewing schedules.

They have the confidence to challenge assumptions, respectfully and constructively, and are comfortable explaining schedule logic, risks, and impacts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Rather than simply updating schedules, they focus on understanding why activities move, where risk is accumulating, and how decisions affect the overall program.

The ideal candidate values clarity, accuracy, and professionalism in written communication and takes pride in producing narratives and analyses that stand up to scrutiny. They are organized, pragmatic, and calm under pressure, with the judgment to prioritize what truly matters when multiple deadlines compete.

Finally, the ideal candidate is someone who appreciates working in a small, close-knit team. They are generous with their knowledge, supportive of colleagues, and motivated by contributing to a respectful, collaborative environment where people genuinely enjoy working together.

• Perform independent time-impact analyses and review contractor requests for time extensions and delay-related submissions.

• Conduct site visits to active heavy civil construction projects to verify progress, document conditions, and perform or review schedule updates.
• Perform “what-if” schedule scenarios to assess impacts to milestones and overall project delivery.
• Prepare clear, well-documented technical reports, narratives, charts, and graphics summarizing schedule analyses and findings.
• Provide quality review of schedule-related reports prepared by others.
• Attend and participate in client progress and scheduling meetings; confidently present schedule updates, analyses, and recommendations.
• Coordinate closely with project managers, designers, contractors, and internal teams to resolve schedule issues and support effective project delivery.
• Support the maintenance and updating of SMK’s company-wide project and program schedules.

Key Attributes:

• Exceptional written, verbal, and organizational skills.
