Our platform connects nearly 2 million renters with over 3,000 real estate agencies and 65 integrated partners, streamlining the rental journey from search to signing. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a successful company that’s redefining the rental experience — helping create a place that everyone can call home.

About the Role

We're looking for two AI Engineers to build, ship, optimise and own AI-powered products and systems. You'll be pivotal in establishing our AI capabilities including implementing AI / agentic software development practices and tools while shipping features that solve real problems for renters and real estate professionals.

About You

You're a builder - someone who is deeply curious, experiments relentlessly and is excited about using AI to solve real problems. You think like a product person, build like an engineer, ship like a startup founder and have a very high internal accountability and motivation to own operational systems. You're curious about what's possible but focused on what's valuable.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• 4+ years building and shipping software with some AI/ML experience in production.
• Strong engineering fundamentals - comfortable with a Golang/React/AWS stack or eager to learn.
• A systems thinker being able to break down complex and uncertain problems into solvable pieces with leveraging different technologies. You're able to think narrow and broad.
• API integration experience - extensive integration experience with RESTful services, data processing and system integrations.
• Product thinking - understand user needs and business problems before jumping to technical solutions
• Startup/scale-up experience - comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and changing priorities
• Builder mentality - prioritising getting things done and making progress, even with imperfect information. This means shipping early versions, testing ideas, and refining based on real feedback.
• Curiosity and experimentation - proven curiosity and excitement around AI tools and techniques
• Relentlessly removes repetition - automating, finding scalable solutions, reducing the drudge work across your working and personal life.

Highly Desirable:

• LLM integration - experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar APIs.
• AWS experience - ECS, Lambda, RDS, API Gateway, DynamoDB, AWS Bedrock and other AWS services.
• Data processing - experience with ETL, data pipelines, or large dataset handling.
• PropTech or real estate - understanding of property workflows and data.
• Rapid prototyping - comfortable building quick proof-of-concepts to test ideas.

We Want to See:

• Examples of things you've built and shipped (GitHub, portfolio, or just tell us about them).
• Evidence of product thinking - how you approach problems and solutions.
• Curiosity about AI - what excites you about the current AI landscape.
• Pragmatic approach - how you balance experimentation with shipping.

What makes this role Special?

• Rare opportunity - help establish AI capabilities at a market-leading PropTech company.
• Real impact - solve problems for millions of renters and thousands of real estate professionals.
• Key contributors - helping explore, define and develop products, services and systems that genuinely improves user experiences.
• Experimentation culture - try new things, learn fast, iterate quickly.
• Growing platform - work with rich property data and established user base.

Why Join Snug?

• Be at the forefront of AI innovation in the property sector.
• Join a market-leading, award-winning business with a mission to make renting easier.
• Own high-impact product initiatives shaping the experience for millions.
• Work with a passionate, agile, cross-functional team that celebrates wins.
