Additional Information
About the Project 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.
