Forward Deployed Engineer

REAL is building an AI Execution Platform for real estate organizations. Today, the data required to run real estate is scattered across PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, drawings, public records, and disconnected systems, leading to preventable leakage, missed obligations, and lost opportunities.

Used by leading enterprises, REAL transforms fragmented information into connected intelligence and automated action. Our AI-powered platform helps customers improve operational accuracy, uncover financial opportunities, and make better business decisions.

We're looking for our first Forward Deployed Engineer in the U.S . to help build one of the most strategic functions at REAL .

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with some of the largest commercial real estate organizations in the world, partnering closely with customers on-site across the U.S. to understand their business, design AI-driven workflows, and deploy production-ready solutions that deliver measurable business value.

As the first member of this function, you'll help define how REAL delivers AI at enterprise scale. You'll own customer engagements end-to-end-from discovery and solution design through implementation, deployment, adoption, and continuous improvement.

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, working directly with customers, navigating ambiguity, and turning AI capabilities into real business outcomes.
