AI Engineer at Bisnow in New York City

Summary: Bisnow is the leading B2B media platform powering the commercial real estate industry. They are seeking an entry-level AI Engineer to help apply AI in real business scenarios by building Claude skills, writing programs, and creating tools that enhance team workflows. Responsibilities: - Build Claude Skills for the Company - Design, write, and maintain Claude skills (SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter and supporting scripts) that encode repeatable workflows our teams use every day - Interview stakeholders across the business to identify tasks worth turning into skills — from editorial workflows to sales outreach to data pulls - Follow skill authoring best practices: clear when-to-use descriptions, progressive disclosure, bundled reference files, and embedded scripts when needed - Test, evaluate, and iterate on skills — measure whether they actually improve outputs versus a baseline prompt, and tune accordingly - Maintain a central, documented skill library with versioning and clear usage guidance - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 Required Qualifications: - 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 Preferred Qualifications: - 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 Required Skills: AI Enthusiasm, Python, JavaScript, Command Line, Git, Prompt Engineering, Skill Authoring, API Familiarity, JSON, SQL, Structured Thinking, Curiosity, Self-direction, Willingness to Work in Public Benefits: 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
