Our Mission:
ButterflyMX is on a mission to empower people to open and manage doors & gates from a smartphone. Our products are installed in more than 20,000+ multifamily, commercial, gated communities, and student-housing properties worldwide, including properties developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in real estate. Our features are designed for developers, owners, property managers, and tenants and our products lower operating costs and improve tenant satisfaction
Our Solution:
Developers and owners no longer need to run building wiring or install in-unit hardware. Property managers can grant building access, revoke permissions, and review entry logs from an online dashboard. Residents can open doors from their smartphones, issue visitor access, and see who is trying to enter the building.
Our Culture & Values:
Fantastic people are the key to our success. As a distributed, primarily remote workforce, we’re looking for more intelligent, passionate, collaborative, ai-forward, and down-to-earth individuals to join our growing team. We’re driven by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, grounded in our core values: We delight our customers, We take ownership, We are a community of collaborators, We speak up, We think big and do small, and We are tenacious.
Role Overview:
ButterflyMX is hiring a first-in-company opportunity where you will get to embed AI directly into the heart of our software development process. You will accelerate engineering velocity, enhance code quality, and empower developers to leverage AI confidently and effectively. You’ll explore new tools, put best practices into action, and drive AI adoption across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC).
This is a hands-on role that blends technical curiosity, developer advocacy, and organizational change helping our engineering teams become faster, smarter, and more effective through AI.
It’s a rare chance to participate in a top-priority initiative from day one: turning executive vision into tangible AI solutions, shaping how our business operates, and enabling every team in the organization to work faster and smarter. You will be the bridge between cutting-edge AI and the internal community of development teams building a category-defining SaaS platform, directly shaping how engineers work every day, from code review to onboarding. Your influence will extend beyond tools to culture itself: how we evaluate, hire, and grow AI-fluent engineers.
The AI Enablement Engineer builds and maintains the infrastructure, tools, and platforms that empower teams across the organization to develop and deploy AI-powered features efficiently.
