What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer position at Prismera?
About Prismera
Prismera builds AI for commercial real estate portfolio operations. Our platform ingests unstructured portfolio documents and turns them into structured intelligence that powers how institutional owners and operators manage portfolios worth billions. We handle everything from document understanding and data extraction to agentic portfolio workflows and deal execution.
We are backed by industry-leading executives, trusted by publicly traded REITs and national operators, and scaling into the largest institutional CRE firms in the world.
The Role
You will help build the core platform that everything at Prismera runs on: the APIs, data layer, integrations, and infrastructure that connect our AI systems to enterprise customers and their existing workflows.
This is an early engineering hire. You are not inheriting a mature codebase with established conventions. You are building the systems, writing the patterns, and making the architectural decisions that the rest of the engineering org will build on top of. What you ship will be in production, handling real enterprise workloads, immediately.
What You'll Do
- Build and own backend systems, APIs, and data infrastructure.
- Design and implement integrations with enterprise systems (document management, cloud storage, internal tools) that our customers depend on.
- Own data modeling and storage layer decisions as the volume and complexity of customer data scales.
- Build reliable, performant infrastructure that supports agentic AI workflows running at scale across large document sets.
- Work across the stack as needed. This is a small, fast-moving team.
Who You Are
- 1-3 years of experience building and shipping production software. What matters is what you've built, not how long you've been building.
- Strong fundamentals in backend engineering: APIs, data modeling, databases, distributed systems.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and comfort owning your own deployments and operations.
- You write clean, maintainable code and care about the quality of the systems you leave behind.
- You can work across the stack when the situation calls for it.
- You move fast, ship constantly, and take ownership of problems end-to-end.
- Bonus: experience with AI/ML infrastructure, document processing pipelines, or enterprise SaaS.
- Bonus: experience in financial services, real estate, or other domain-heavy industries.
Why Now
We have enterprise customers, real revenue, and a product in a market where the incumbent software is decades old and was never designed for what AI makes possible. You would be joining at the earliest stage with the most leverage: not to maintain what exists, but to build what comes next.
