AI Engineer at bisnow

<div> <p data-start="82" data-end="496"><em><strong>We’re hiring an entry-level AI Engineer to help our company get more value out of AI every day. This is a new, hands-on role for someone genuinely excited about AI—not someone with a decade of ML experience.

You don’t need prior professional experience—what matters is curiosity, clear thinking, a willingness to experiment, and strong written communication. If you’ve been teaching yourself tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through side projects or automations, you’ll fit right in.</strong></em></p> <p data-start="858" data-end="1147"><em><strong>You’ll work closely with the CTO and engineering leadership, partner across teams like Editorial, Sales, Marketing, Events, and Operations, and help identify where AI can remove toil and create real leverage—all while learning, experimenting, and shipping solutions that actually get used.</strong></em><br><br></p> <div><strong style="font-size: 16px;">BISNOW OVERVIEW</strong></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Bisnow is the leading B2B media platform powering the commercial real estate industry.

Build Programs with Claude Code • Use Claude Code as a daily collaborator to build internal tools, automations, scripts, and small applications. • Write AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files that teach agents our coding standards, repo structure, and team conventions. • Develop agentic workflows that combine Claude Code with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for Salesforce, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, and internal systems. • Apply the Plan / Execute / Review loop — decompose work into scoped tasks, run them through agents, review carefully, and ship. • Ship real code: pull requests, tests, documentation, deployment — working alongside senior engineers for mentorship and code review. Enable AI Adoption Across the Company • Be the internal go-to person for "how do I get Claude to help me with this?" • Run training sessions, office hours, and hands-on workshops for non-technical teams on prompting, Claude Projects, skills, and agent use. • Write and maintain internal documentation: prompt libraries, skill directories, how-to guides, and best-practice playbooks. • Partner with team leads to identify high-value AI use cases in Editorial, Sales, Marketing, Events, Finance, and Operations — then prototype solutions. • Stay current on AI product releases (Claude, Claude Code, MCP ecosystem, browser agents, etc.) and translate what matters into actionable recommendations for the business. Prototype and Evaluate AI Features • Build quick proofs-of-concept using the Anthropic API — Python, JavaScript, or whatever fits. • Design and run evaluations: what does "good" output look like, what percentage of the time does the workflow succeed, and what happens in the failure cases? • Think probabilistically. AI features are not deterministic, and part of your job is designing around that reality. • Integrate AI workflows with existing systems via MCP connectors, simple APIs, and light glue code. Collaborate and Document • Write clearly — in Slack, in docs, in skill descriptions, in PR comments. Written communication is central to this role. • Demo your work frequently, gather feedback, and iterate. • Contribute to internal AI policy and responsible-use guidelines. Our AI Stack • Core AI Platform: Claude (claude.ai, Claude Projects, Claude Code), Anthropic API • Skills & Agents: Claude skills (SKILL.md), subagents, MCP servers, Claude in Chrome • Integrations: Salesforce, Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Calendar), Slack, GitHub, n8n • Languages: Python and JavaScript/TypeScript (you should be comfortable reading and writing basic code in at least one) • Supporting Stack: PHP/Laravel, AWS, Redshift/MySQL/PostgreSQL, Docker — you are not expected to know these on day one, but exposure will come quickly • Dev Environment: macOS, VS Code, Git/GitHub, Claude Code CLI What are we looking for? Required • Genuine, demonstrable enthusiasm for AI. Tell us what you have built, broken, or experimented with — side projects, automations, Claude Projects, custom GPTs, hobbyist scripts, anything. • Strong written communication. You can explain a technical concept in plain English and craft clear, specific prompts. • Comfort with basic programming. You can read and write simple Python or JavaScript, use the command line, and work with Git. • Structured thinking. You can break a messy problem into steps and describe each one clearly — this is the core skill behind both prompting and skill authoring. • Willingness to work in public. You ask questions in Slack, demo rough drafts, and share what you learn. • Curiosity and self-direction. When you hit something you do not know, your first instinct is to go figure it out — often with Claude as your study partner. • Attention to detail. Small changes in prompts, skill descriptions, and instructions matter a lot. Nice to Have (none of these are required) • A portfolio of AI experiments — custom GPTs, Claude skills or Projects, agent workflows, Discord/Slack bots, browser automations, etc. • Experience using Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or another AI coding assistant on a real project. • Familiarity with APIs and JSON — making a REST call, parsing a response. • Exposure to SQL. We live in Redshift and will teach you, but any prior SQL helps. • Experience writing technical documentation, tutorials, or how-to content. • A background in teaching, training, customer support, or writing — anyone who has explained technical ideas to non-technical people. • Awareness of the MCP ecosystem or agent frameworks. • A degree in a technical field is welcome but not required — we hire based on skills, not credentials. What's in it for you? • Competitive compensation structure! • Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance - effective the 1st of the month following your start date. • Short and Long Term Disability Insurance - this includes maternity and paternity leaves as well. • 401K Profit Sharing Plan • Flexible Spending Account • Health Savings Account • Dependent Care Account • Unlimited Vacation Days • 7 days paid sick leave • 9 paid Holidays • Referral Bonus Program • Pet Friendly Offices • You’ll get to work with incredibly smart, passionate, driven, ambitious, kind, caring and mindful people and will rarely experience an overload of policies, bureaucracy or toxicity (the latter, we do not tolerate). Before applying, please read our values below. Our values describe and give insight into our culture. If you do not share the same values, this role will not be a mutually beneficial fit. If you do share these values and want to apply, we encourage you to do so. Our values demand that we be curious, self-aware, fearless, consistent. We say yes to seemingly insurmountable challenges because we dare ourselves to push further. And we go the distance because we are individually and collectively entrepreneurial, always asking: Why can’t it be done? We find a way because we care more than the competition. We embrace team and disown ego. We are ruthlessly disciplined and unabashedly kind. We unreservedly challenge the status quo and vigorously fight for new levels of excellence. We believe the difference between good and great is exceptional communication. We obsess over creating value for our team and our customers. We push ourselves and our industry to be more inclusive, to champion diversity and to fight racism, gender bias and all forms of inequality. We never peak. We never quit. We never have excuses. We own our failures and we commit to being smarter and stronger because of them. We give our best today and even better tomorrow. We are here to win.
