Landing in US, Remote

Join Sunrise AI as our Technical Co-Founder 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. With over $58Bn lost annually due to rent delinquencies and eviction costs, our platform is a first-of-its-kind AI algorithm for assessing retail credit risk, that supports the owner-tenant commercial relationship.  This is a remote role that will include a base salary, benefits, and equity.

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 our Technical Co-Founder, 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. You'll also be responsible for ensuring alignment between our technology development plan and our business and customer goals.
