Join Sunrise AI as a Founding Lead Engineer and be part of a game-changing team that's revolutionizing the rental housing market. We empower residential property owners with a cutting-edge proptech platform that delivers fair, accurate tenant credit assessments, ongoing credit monitoring, and streamlined payments.

We're on a mission to improve access to capital for all -- our market-leading solution for evaluating individual credit goes beyond housing and has applications to insurance, mortgage, consumer lending, auto finance, and credit cards. Our vision is supported and funded by AI Fund, founded by Dr. Andrew Ng, a venture studio backed by NEA, Softbank, Sequoia and Greylock, that bridges AI technology and critical applications.

As a Lead Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in developing Sunrise AI's technology strategy and data/software architecture, leading the building of our early prototype and MVP solution.
