Founding Engineer

Company Description:

MARC is a residential property maintenance software company based in Dublin. We are building AI Agents for property management. We are developing state-of-the-art ML models and agentic systems to power our AI-native platform to streamline and expedite the residential repair process for tenants, firms, and contractors involved.

This is an incredibly large market with less than a handful of players worldwide, who have all traditionally-focused on legacy processes and technology. We recently had to close a very large and oversubscribed angel round, in a tough raising environment and in little over a month, we were 30% oversubscribed on the round. We are backed by a who’s who of highly successful Irish founders with several large 9-figure exits.

We are already working with the largest property managers in Ireland. With a diverse customer base across the UK and Ireland, we’re now seeing significant demand from major European firms eager to adopt MARC’s agentic solutions. Our thesis is that the proptech industry is ripe for disruption and a perfect match for the recent breakthrough advances in AI. This technology has yet to be deployed in Europe or at scale anywhere globally. We believe these agentic solutions will transform this global industry.
