About the job
About BrikMate:

BrikMate is the agentic operating system for commercial real estate. It replaces
fragmented, manual back-office work with intelligent agents that execute and
coordinate the operational workflows required to run a portfolio.**

Commercial real estate is a trillion dollar industry that is still dependent on
unstructured documents, spreadsheets, and human-driven processes. This makes
routine tasks slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale, while limiting visibility across
leasing, compliance, and financial execution. BrikMate centralizes portfolio
knowledge by unifying data into a structured, auditable data foundation.

On top of this foundation, BrikMate deploys AI agents that manage data, monitor
critical dates, respond to tenant requests, generate reports, maintain compliance,
and support workflows. Work is automated where possible, escalated when
necessary, and always traceable back to source data.

BrikMate is built to become the system of record for commercial real estate
operations. By owning both the data and the execution layer, BrikMate enables
property teams to operate with speed, accuracy, and confidence across the entire
property ecosystem.

Why Now:

The timing is perfect. Recent AI breakthroughs have finally made it possible to
extract, structure, and reason over the complex legal language buried in leases
and related documents. This is the data that powers every major transaction,
compliance decision, and portfolio operation.

What used to require armies of employees and months of work can now happen in
days with the right system. The tooling in this industry hasn't changed in decades.
We already have 6-figure enterprise contracts and proven adoption by global real
estate firms and tier-one universities.

All of these tailwinds make now the moment to fundamentally reimagine how this
industry operates.

Why You:

You're a seasoned engineer who's experienced the AI shift firsthand. You've
worked in both startups and larger companies, and you've felt what it's like to be
10x more productive than you were two years ago. You're shipping features that
would have taken your entire team weeks, debugging systems faster than you
thought possible, and architecting solutions you couldn't have designed alone.

You know the leverage you have now changes everything. You're not interested in
building another CRUD app or marginally improving conversion rates.

This is a hands-on role where you'll own problems end to end, make architectural
decisions, and shape how we build software.

You'll work directly with:

Josef CEO CRE operator, $600M+ transacted, built this from his own real estate pains
Marcin Head of Product & Engineering): Scaled Handy/Angi through hypergrowth, launched $50M business, led post-acquisition integrations
You want to point your AI leverage at a concrete problem and fundamentally change how an industry operates. This is that opportunity.

What You'll Work On:
The Hard Problems:

Legal document extraction where a single wrong term can mean millions in losses. Async pipelines that must process thousands of documents with correctness guarantees and full audit-ability. Multi-step AI systems that need to learn from human feedback and get smarter over time. Canonical data models that represent decades of inconsistent legal language. Building systems that are fast enough for daily use, but reliable enough to power financial decisions.

You'll Build:

Mass Ingest pipeline that onboards entire complex real estate portfolios in days
Agentic workflows connecting tenants, owners, and property managers
Tenant-facing billing, payments, and work order experiences
Platform architecture for document ingestion, canonical data modeling, async pipelines, and workflow execution.
What We're Looking For:

You've built production AI systems. Not prototypes or side projects. Systems that real users depend on. You've worked with agent frameworks LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen) or have strong distributed systems experience and can learn them quickly. You understand prompt design, tool invocation, and state management for long-running workflows. You use AI coding assistants daily.

You have strong engineering fundamentals. You know software architecture, understand when to use design patterns and when not to, write code that others can maintain, and ship systems that stay healthy in production through observability, testing, and failure-aware design.

You make good decisions, fast. You design from first principles, weigh tradeoffs deliberately, take work from idea through production, communicate technical decisions clearly, and raise the bar through example.

You're fluent in this stack: TypeScript, React, Postgres, Prisma (or similar ORM, async workers/job queues, NestJS (or similar), pub/sub systems, LLM APIs.

This Role Is NOT For You If...

You prefer tickets handed to you over defining the work yourself
You want clear separation between product, engineering, and operations
You need a large team or lots of process to feel productive
