About Crexi

Crexi is reimagining commercial real estate with an AI-powered platform built to deliver smarter, more efficient solutions at every stage of the deal lifecycle. From real-time data and market insights generated by Crexi Intelligence, to targeted property marketing and seamless deal management through Crexi PRO, and a transparent, time-bound bidding experience with Crexi Auction— Crexi enables users to evaluate opportunities, maximize exposure, and close with speed and confidence. To date, Crexi has facilitated over $1 trillion in transactions, 8.6 billion square feet leased, and supports a growing community of more than 2 million monthly active users.  

Crexi’s mission is to catalyze the next generation of commercial real estate through three core pillars: Access, Innovation, and Connection. Crexi’s platform democratizes CRE by providing unprecedented access to market insights and opportunities, accelerates CRE dealmaking with purpose-built technology that enhances speed and transparency; and empowers CRE professionals with a centralized platform designed for real-time collaboration and success.

About the Role:

The AI Engineer builds the agentic AI systems that power Crexi's platform, including orchestration, retrieval, and action layers grounded in Crexi's proprietary commercial real estate data. The role builds multi-step agentic workflows that understand user intent, orchestrate the right capabilities, and complete real work, not just answer questions, using tools like LangGraph and AWS Bedrock AgentCore . It exists to extend Crexi's AI-powered research, document generation, and zoning intelligence into unified, trustworthy agentic experiences for brokers, appraisers, lenders, and investors.  

What You'll Do:

A typical day may include:  

• Design and implement multi-step agentic workflows, including routing, planning, tool use, and state management, using frameworks like LangGraph/LangChain to move from user intent to real, completed actions.  


• Build evaluation frameworks and production monitoring (offline evals, human-in-the-loop annotation) to measure quality, reliability, and business outcomes, not just model metrics.  


• Build context and retrieval pipelines over Crexi's proprietary CRE data, handling the compound, qualitative queries that structured filters can't answer.  


• Work primarily with Anthropic frontier models on AWS Bedrock, using Bedrock AgentCore for agent runtime, identity, and memory, and helps evaluate open-weight alternatives on cost, latency, and capability.  


• Implement guardrails, structured outputs, and graceful ambiguity handling so agentic systems ask for clarification rather than acting on unclear intent, and establishes trace-level observability across LLM calls and tool invocations.  


• Leverage agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, and debugging, while critically reviewing AI-generated output for correctness, security, and performance.  


• Rapidly prototype against real user feedback, partnering with Product and Design, and helps convert successful prototypes into scalable, reusable capabilities.  


• Ensure AI outputs are explainable, source-linked, and trustworthy enough to inform real business decisions.  

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience in production environments with meaningful scope/ownership, including 2+ years hands-on building LLM-powered applications in production.


• Real experience with agentic architectures (multi-step pipelines, tool/function calling, state machines, memory), ideally with LangGraph or similar orchestration frameworks.  


• Strong retrieval design skills: RAG systems, embeddings, vector search, and the judgment to know when retrieval is the problem and when the data is.  


• Strong Python proficiency and real-world experience building backend services and APIs in production.


• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and modern collaborative workflows (GitHub/GitLab, code reviews, CI/CD).  


• Demonstrated use of agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) in a professional workflow, without compromising quality.  


• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast iteration cycles; experience designing LLM evaluation pipelines (offline evals, production monitoring, human-in-the-loop annotation) is a plus.  


• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.  

Who You Are:

• Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.  


• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to provide clear and concise information to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.  


• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex information, identify patterns, and present insights clearly and accurately.  


• Excellent organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously.  


• Self-starter who independently owns their own success and demonstrates strong initiative.  


• Responsive, action-oriented, and proactive in identifying and resolving issues.  


• Strong problem-solving and creative thinking skills, with the ability to evaluate options and implement effective solutions.  


• Effective collaborator and team player, with the ability to work cross-functionally and build strong working relationships.  


• Demonstrated ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with the utmost professionalism and discretion.
