Our client is building an AI-native financial modeling platform designed to transform how real estate developers and investors underwrite deals. Their product integrates natural language prompts, structured financial logic, and dynamic model building to streamline the development of pro formas and investment memos. With a strong understanding of real estate development workflows, the platform aims to reduce modeling time, improve accuracy, and enhance decision-making through AI.

Location and Time:

Fully-Remote (Work from Home), 9 AM - 5 PM EST

Role Overview

We are seeking a software developer who can work independently within an existing backend/frontend codebase to help finalize the MVP. You will play a key role in refining the product's ability to translate natural language prompts into structured financial models. This includes working closely with the lead developer during a two-week handoff phase, then independently completing scoped development tasks. You should be comfortable managing assumptions, integrating with the OpenAI API, and working with development logic based on real estate Excel models.

Key Responsibilities

• AI Integration & Development:
• Expand the platform’s ability to interpret user prompts and dynamically generate structured modeling logic.
• Help encode limits, constraints, and definitions from a reference Excel model into the AI agent's context.
• Refine agent workflows, function calls, and prompt engineering logic.
• Product Logic & Technical Implementation:
• Contribute to backend development (FastAPI) and light front-end components (TypeScript/React) to support prompt testing and UI functionality.
• Collaborate during a two-week overlap with the lead developer to ensure smooth handoff, then continue development independently.
• Work with financial data and real estate modeling logic (e.g., unit mix, dev budgets, timelines, returns) and help structure these into machine-readable input.
• Testing & Feedback Iteration:
• Help structure the MVP’s feedback loop: test prompts, review outputs, refine assumptions and logic with clear updates.
• Work closely with the founder for alignment on deliverables and priorities.
• Codebase Navigation & Collaboration:
• Play a key role in pushing the MVP to completion by ensuring all technical requirements are met on time.
• Take feedback from testing and client interactions to iterate and improve on the product.
• Data & Tools Management:
• Work within an existing codebase with clarity and organization.
• Coordinate with the lead developer as needed post-handoff (hourly consultation only) to ensure continuity.
  
  

• Experience & Skills:
• 3+ years of experience in software development, ideally including AI or GPT-based applications.
• Familiar with OpenAI function-calling and prompt/response workflows.
• Strong proficiency in FastAPI, TypeScript, React, and integrating APIs.
• Excel proficiency (for reading reference models and understanding data flow).
• Experience with real estate development logic or structured financial models is a major plus, but not required.
• Working Style:
• Ability to take ownership of scoped development milestones and operate with autonomy post-handoff.
• Comfortable managing tasks in a remote environment with async coordination.
• Clear communicator—able to flag blockers, propose fixes, and deliver clean, testable code.
• Mindset & Attributes:
• Strong communication skills, especially in remote work environments, to coordinate effectively with the lead developer and team.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and stay organized.
• Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and tools.
• A problem-solving mindset with a passion for improving products and systems.
  
  

• Full MVP is completed by end of sprint (4-week runway), using the existing codebase, scoped logic, and guidance.
• You’ve translated structured Excel logic into real-time agent constraints and prompt behaviors.
• The handoff from the lead developer is seamless, and your independent velocity is strong.
• You’ve contributed to a stable, AI-powered tool that generates a working real estate model from user prompts.
  
  

• Fill in the application form
• Record a video showcasing your skill sets
  
  

• Seniority level Mid-Senior level

• Employment type Contract

• Job function Engineering and Information Technology
• Industries Marketing Services
