About The Position

Software Mind is building a private, tenant-isolated AI assistant for the real estate title and settlement industry. The platform is a retrieval-first (RAG) system that ingests historical email, documents, and structured metadata into a per-tenant vector index, and serves grounded, cited, expert-weighted answers through a chat-style Q&A interface with single sign-on and full audit logging. The platform is AWS-native with a Python/FastAPI backend, Vue.js frontend, OpenSearch/Pinecone vector store, and OpenAI/Anthropic/Bedrock as LLM provider. You will join a senior, cross-functional LATAM-based team where hands-on AI delivery experience not just familiarity is the baseline expectation. You will serve as the requirements and alignment anchor for the engagement translating domain knowledge, SME expertise patterns, and retrieval accuracy logic into structured, traceable specifications the engineering team can build against. You will also design the accuracy validation rubrics used at go/no-go gates. This is not a documentation-only role.
