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.
