AI Product Engineer

Neho is one of Switzerland’s leading real estate brokerage companies, redefining the industry through innovation. We combine human expertise with powerful digital solutions to deliver a faster, more transparent, and more efficient real estate experience. Our approach has been recognised with prestigious awards, including the SEF Award 2023. What truly sets us apart is our fixed-price model, offering clients a modern alternative to traditional commission-based services, powered by advanced technology.

We are looking for an AI product engineer to lead, hands-on, how we put AI to work. You will build the agents that take the manual, repetitive parts of buying, financing and selling a home off people’s plates, so our experts can spend their time on the moments that matter.

You will not start from zero. We have a compelling vision and working prototypes. Your job is to take this pattern from prototype to product: real agents, real users, measured outcomes. You will get a first agent into production within your first months and grow a pipeline from there.

This is a zero-to-one role with real ownership and visibility reporting directly to our CTO. If you love turning a manual process into working software that ships in weeks rather than quarters, you will feel at home here.

Workload: 80 - 100%

• Find the value: Spend real time with product managers, advisors, real estate agents and operations specialists, map their workflows, identify the agent use cases that remove the most measurable toil across the client journey or internal operations - prioritise by outcome

• Build the agents, hands-on: Design, build, test and ship agents yourself: use agent frameworks & platforms where they are faster, real code where they are not

• Own the delivery surfaces: Take our prototypes to product, and evolve how agents reach users: in-product, in chat, and later on mobile

• Build the MCP layer: Wrap the stable domain APIs in thin, well-designed MCP tools your agents act through. You are the first and most demanding consumer of our API-first architecture.

• Drive the requirements to the teams: Specify the APIs your agents and surfaces need from the domain-owning engineering teams, who build and expose them; you consume clean contracts rather than reaching into systems directly

• Choose the platform with Platform: Lead the selection of the technology & platforms jointly with the Platform team, accounting for security, Swiss/EU data protection, cost and operability

• Ship on rails, within the guardrails: Deploy on the company’s fenced, containerised, API-only path; instrument and evaluate your agents; respect data-sensitivity tiers

• Hand off when an agent grows up: When an agent becomes revenue-critical or touches critical client or financial data, hand it to Engineering for hardening and long-term ownership, and keep building the next one

• Measure outcomes: Track effort removed, cycle-time and conversion impact, and adoption by the people the agents serve. Not the number of agents shipped
  

• Not the builder of core APIs: Domain engineering teams own and expose the stable APIs; you drive the requirements, build the thin MCP wrappers on top, and consume the contracts

• Not the platform/infra owner: Platform owns runtime, deployment, observability and security; you build on top

• Not an AI services desk: You are not here to build bespoke tools for every department; you build the agents that move our priorities, and help others self-serve safely on the sanctioned path

• End-to-end ownership of your product with the authority to drive implementation, challenge the status quo, and own the outcome from conception to launch of new features

• A unique career opportunity to join a fast-growing and award-winning scale-up within the real estate industry

• Shape the future of real estate tech in Switzerland: Have a direct impact on Neho’s growth, and deliver efficient, and scalable AI tools that give Neho a competitive edge

• Enjoy flat hierarchies, quick decision-making processes, and the freedom to work autonomously and leave your mark

• Be part of an energetic, forward-thinking team spanning our offices in Lausanne and Zurich as well as j4id10342232a j4it0833a j4iy26a
