Founding Engineer

About Domos

We're building an AI workforce that transforms property management by automating the most time-consuming tasks while enhancing how people experience their homes. Our AI handles communications and workflows across multiple channels, seamlessly integrating into existing systems to become an extension of property management teams. Based in NYC and venture-backed, we're growing rapidly and passionate about bringing innovative solutions to the industry’s most significant challenges. 

Why work with us?

You'll play a pivotal role in building our AI-first solution from the ground up. You'll work directly with our founding team to shape the technical foundation of our rapidly growing business. You'll experience code → deploy → real-world impact in days, not sprints, in a lean, politics-free environment where you'll have true ownership over what you build. If you're excited about working at the intersection of AI and real estate, and want to join a team that works hard to solve big problems, you belong here!

Your core objectives

• Architect and scale our core AI products 
• Design and build robust backend systems that power our AI agent's interactions across multiple communication channels
• Integrate new third-party APIs and ship resident-facing features end-to-end
• Implement scalable data processing pipelines to handle resident communications and workflow automation
• Help define our early engineering culture, tooling, and best practices
