The Opportunity
KV Capital is seeking an AI Engineer to help build the next generation of KV's lending platform — AI-powered tools that automate property valuation, deal analysis, document review, and market intelligence, embedded directly into the workflows of our origination teams.
This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role with significant autonomy. You'll work closely with the VP of Operations Excellence, the domain experts and other peer engineers. Good ideas ship fast.
Your Key Responsibilities
- AI agents for property valuation, comparables analysis, and deal screening
- Document extraction pipelines (PDFs → structured data) for appraisals, title documents, and financials
- Internal tools that put AI in the hands of analysts and originators
- Borrower-facing experiences for application tracking and transparency
- Production deployment, monitoring, and iteration with real users
Your Capabilities and Credentials
- Strong fundamentals in Python and one modern web stack (TypeScript / React / Node, or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs — you know when to trust and when to challenge AI
- Ability to ship full-stack features end-to-end: backend services, APIs, database, and a robust, secure frontend
- Comfort with SQL and relational databases (Postgres preferred)
- Working familiarity with cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and CI/CD
- Solid engineering hygiene: version control, code review, testing, clear documentation
- Deep understanding of ALM best practices
- Curiosity about real estate, finance, or lending — domain training is provided, so willingness to learn matters more than prior experience
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Self-direction — you can take a fuzzy problem, scope it, and ship a working solution
- A portfolio of working projects (GitHub, deployed apps, hackathon submissions)
- Nice to Have
- Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom orchestration)
- Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or RAG systems
- Background or interest in real estate, mortgage, fintech, or property tech
- Public AI projects, open source contributions, or hackathon wins
- Proficiency in C# and .NET
- Experience with the Microsoft Power Platform, Microsoft Dataverse, and model-driven apps
- Familiarity with design systems like FluentUI and TailwindCSS
