Senior Software Engineer - SAM AI

<p><strong>Who We Are</strong><br>SuiteSpot is a PropTech company transforming how residential real estate is managed and operated at scale. Our award-winning Maintenance and Capital SaaS solutions serve the top 50 multifamily property management operators in North America, helping them streamline operations across hundreds of thousands of units.<br><br>We move fast, ship real solutions, and measure ourselves by customer outcomes.

It manages every interaction from request to resolution: voice and chat, 35+ languages, 24/7. SAM detects emergencies in real time and escalates them, walks residents through mitigation while help is on the way, and deflects non-maintenance calls so the front office stays focused.<br><br>The team is small and ships fast. We're expanding SAM beyond resident maintenance into more of the platform, with plenty of greenfield ahead. This is the part of SuiteSpot where the AI is the product.<br><br><strong>The Role</strong><br>We're hiring a <strong>Senior Software Engineer</strong> to build and scale SAM.

You are familiar with Node.js, Angular, MongoDB, and AWS.</li><li>1+ years of hands-on experience building platform‑level AI capabilities.</li><li><strong>Product-minded.</strong> You ask "what does this do for the customer?" and "is this the highest-value thing we could be doing?" before "how should we build it?"</li><li><strong>Ownership mentality.</strong> You don't wait to be told what to do. You see a problem, figure out what needs to be built, and drive it to completion. You're accountable for outcomes, not just output.</li><li><strong>Fast learner.</strong> AI tools, models, and patterns change fast. You pick up new ones quickly and bring the rest of the team along.</li><li><strong>Comfortable owning production.</strong> You're at home with on-call rotation, incident response, and observability tooling (Datadog).</li><li>Experience with message queues, pub/sub, or caching layers — Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.</li></ul><p><strong>Nice to Have</strong></p><ul><li>Experience with Agentic Engineering tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi Coding Agent, Cline, Kilo, etc.</li><li>Experience with AI Engineering: Prompt Engineering, RAG, CAG, or similar.</li><li>Experience with telephony, voice, or IVR systems.</li><li>Background in PropTech, multifamily, or enterprise SaaS.</li></ul><p><strong>What's In It For You</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Immediate impact.</strong> Our customers manage hundreds of thousands of apartments. What you ship gets used — fast.

No red tape, no waiting for permission.</li><li><strong>AI is the core of the role.</strong> You'll be building with LLMs daily — Claude and Bedrock at the product layer, agentic tools like Claude Code in your workflow, and continuous tuning of how the agent behaves in production.</li><li>We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits starting day one, and flexible remote work options.</li></ul><p><br><strong>Hiring Process</strong></p>We aim to move quickly and respect your time.
