About Rivo
Rivo is building an AI-native real estate brokerage designed for the next generation of agents and buyers.
We believe the future of real estate will be driven by AI-powered workflows, conversational customer journeys, and lean, high-performance agents supported by intelligent automation.
Starting in Singapore, Rivo combines AI-driven lead generation, WhatsApp-native customer engagement, and operational automation to help agents close more transactions with greater efficiency.
The company is founded by an ex-Google / Uber / Amazon operator and fourth-time founder with prior startup exit experience in EdTech.
We are now looking for a highly technical founding engineer / technical co-founder to help architect and build the AI and workflow infrastructure powering Rivo.
The Role
This is not a traditional manage engineering teams CTO role.
We are looking for a hands-on builder who wants to work at the intersection of:
- AI agents
- workflow orchestration
- conversational systems
- operational automation
- real-world service businesses
You will work directly with the founder to shape:
- product architecture
- AI workflows
- automation systems
- customer experiences
- engineering culture
- long-term technical moat
This role is ideal for someone excited by:
- building from 0 → 1
- shipping fast
- solving messy operational problems
- applying AI to real-world workflows
- creating category-defining software
What We're Building
Initial product focus includes:
- AI-powered lead qualification
- WhatsApp-native customer journeys
- automated follow-ups
- intelligent viewing booking
- agent workflow automation
- conversational transaction workflows
- operational tooling for AI-native brokerage operations
Over time, we believe this evolves into a broader AI-native operational layer for real estate services.
Responsibilities
- Design and build core backend architecture
- Develop AI agent workflows and orchestration systems
- Build conversational experiences powered by LLMs
- Own technical infrastructure and engineering decisions
- Work closely with the founder on product strategy and roadmap
- Ship quickly and iterate aggressively with real users
- Build scalable systems for messaging, workflows, and automation
- Help shape long-term technical vision and defensibility
Ideal Background
We care far more about capability and obsession than pedigree.
Strong candidates may have experience in:
- AI/LLM applications
- agentic workflows
- backend systems
- automation infrastructure
- conversational products
- startup engineering
- workflow orchestration
- shipping products quickly
Experience with some of the following is a plus:
- Python
- FastAPI
- PostgreSQL
- OpenAI APIs
- WhatsApp APIs
- vector databases
- workflow engines
- real-time systems
What We're Looking For
You might be a fit if:
- you build products obsessively
- you ship quickly and independently
- you think in systems and workflows
- you are deeply curious about AI-native businesses
- you prefer execution over meetings
- you want meaningful ownership from day one
- you are excited by difficult operational problems, not just pure research
Compensation
- Meaningful equity package
- Founding team role with high ownership
- Cash compensation to scale alongside future funding milestones and company growth
Why Join Rivo
- Build one of the first AI-native real estate brokerages in Singapore
- Work directly on real-world AI workflows and operational systems
- Help define how AI and human agents collaborate in the future
- Join at the earliest stage with meaningful ownership and impact
- Opportunity to shape both product and company from the ground up
Location
Singapore preferred, but open to exceptional candidates globally.
