We are also the first-ever venture capital-backed commercial appraisal firm, having raised over $80MM. Powered by big data, advanced technology, and extensive expertise, Bowery is redefining the entire commercial appraisal space.\nInside Bowery, we’re a people-forward company dedicated to providing a productive and inspiring working culture. We are a collection of hard-working and enthusiastic types focused on building great teams to support great work. We balance our dedication to success with a commitment to gratitude, kindness, and a team-first attitude.\nAbout the Role\nBowery is in a new phase: rethinking the whole appraisal process with AI at the core. We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our AI-first engineering team, reporting to our Head of Technology.\nAs the first truly tech-enabled appraisal firm - having raised over $80mm backed by Goldman Sachs, Capital One, and numerous venture funds - Bowery has a strong foundation to build on: a proprietary appraisal-writing platform, high-quality data, and a team of 100+ appraisers across 17 offices from more than 1,000 clients. We’ve grown over 30% year-over-year and are fully profitable.\nFew industries are better suited for AI than appraisal. The work is structured, repetitive, and data-driven, and it pulls from fragmented sources. We want to use AI to turbocharge appraisers, who can spend their time on judgment, comparables, and compliance instead of data entry. The result will be a better product for our clients and a transformation in the industry.\nThis is a senior engineering role, not a prompt-writing role. We want someone with a strong software engineering foundation who also uses AI tools like Claude Code and Codex to get far more done than they could alone. You’ll make product decisions, own systems end to end, and hold a high bar for how they’re built.\nBowery is a post-Series B company with clear product-market fit and material scale, but with a small engineering team. You get the security and data of a late-stage startup with the impact of a very early one.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign, build, and ship features end to end across our appraisal platform and AI-powered workflows, from data extraction and analysis to narrative generation\nWork directly with appraisers and Ops to understand the problem, decide what to build, and make the product calls to get it shipped\nUse AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) every day, and help shape how the team uses them well, including knowing where not to trust them\nBuild LLM-backed features with evaluation, testing, and monitoring in place so quality is measured, not guessed at\nOwn infrastructure and deployments on AWS, including CI/CD with GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and containerized services with Docker\nKeep the bar high on system design, code review, testing, and observability as we move faster\nExperience and Skills\n4+ years building and shipping production software, ideally including time at an early-stage or fast-moving company\nStrong fundamentals in system design, data modeling, APIs, and testing\nFluent in TypeScript and Node.js; React experience is a plus\nAI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) are a real part of how you work today, and you have opinions on how to use them without giving up quality\nExperience building with LLMs: prompt design, RAG, structured outputs, and evals\nExperience with AWS preferred, along with GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Docker\nWhy You’d Be a Good Fit\nYou want ownership. You’d rather figure out what should be built than wait for a fully specced ticket, and you’re comfortable making and defending product decisions.\nYou think critically. You use AI to multiply your output, and you review its work the way you’d review a teammate’s. You know when something is good enough to ship and when it isn’t.\nYou care how things are built. Speed matters, but so do clean interfaces, tests, and systems that the next engineer can understand.\nYou enjoy having direct access to end users. Our core users (appraisers and Ops teams) are all in-house, so you’d be iterating with a tight feedback loop. Many of them work 3x/week from our office in Cooper Square.\nYou value a remote-first eng culture. Our engineers prioritize async communication and make space for deep focus time to help us ship faster.\nWhy You Might Not Be a Good Fit\nYou want well-defined tickets and a narrow scope. This role means wearing many hats and working through ambiguity with the business.\nYou’d rather not use AI tools in your work. They’re central to how our team operates and how we expect to scale.\nYou’d ship code you don’t understand. AI-generated code still needs to meet our engineering standards, and you own what you merge.\nBowery’s Tech Stack\nLanguages: TypeScript, JavaScript\nFrontend: React\nBackend: Node.js (NestJS framework)\nDatabase: MongoDB, Postgres\nInfrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions\nBowery Leadership\nJohn Meadows, Chief Executive Officer; LinkedIn\nMadeline Pinkner, Head of Technology; LinkedIn\nEliot Jenkins, President and Chief Operating Officer; LinkedIn\nSteve Schaller, Chief Revenue Officer; LinkedIn","description_format":"text","description_chars":5329,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Real Estate","Commercial Real Estate","Real Estate Appraisal"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T20:33:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T06:39:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9238,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":671398},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=671398"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbowery-valuation-software-engineer-ai-team"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3482460}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"boweryvaluation.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3482460},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
