· Italian required Why Livia exists Italians have put everything into their homes: the savings of two generations, their identity, their children's future. And no country administers it worse. Most of us live in a condominium. You can track a €10 pizza in real time on your phone, but your building's €200,000 budget disappears once a year into an unreadable PDF. The real monopolist in this market isn't any administrator. It's resignation: "tanto è così." What we're building Livia is building the operating system for residential living, and we are running it ourselves. We don't sell software to administrators. We are the administrator, and we build the technology that powers us from the ground up. That lets us make promises no one else in the market makes: every euro visible in real time, no kickbacks from contractors, an answer within one hour on emergencies, and a full refund if a building isn't satisfied in the first year. Underneath, we're building something harder to see: the deepest context layer on Italian buildings. Every repair request, contractor job, assembly decision, and resident conversation becomes structured knowledge. When a pipe leaks, our system knows which pipes are in the wall and which plumber last worked on them. The better the context, the better the AI; the better the AI, the more buildings run proactively rather than reactively. That compounding context is our moat, and it's why we're rebuilding the data architecture from scratch instead of bolting AI onto legacy tools, as incumbents are now trying to do. But property management is a trust business, and AI can't take responsibility. So our administrators become what they should always have been: dedicated people who know their buildings, run assemblies well, and put their name on every decision, while software handles the groundwork. We welcome their teams and expertise and give them better processes and tools. We're backed by Italian Founders Fund, Vento, 2100, and leading Italian families and angels. The market has thousands of fragmented firms and no reference company yet. At Livia, software is not the product we sell. It's how we keep our promises. Every hour of paperwork the platform absorbs is an hour an administrator spends answering people and looking after buildings. As one of our first AI Engineers, you'll design the technical foundations that everything else is built on: the context layer, the automations, and the tools our administrators and residents use every day. You'll work across the whole stack, from an understood problem to code in production, with the people who use your tools a few metres away or one call away. You see the real work, decide what to build, and ship it. How We Work Livia is not a typical Italian company, and this is not a typical Italian job. We're a team of internationals and Italians who left, built careers at some of the world's fastest-growing startups and unicorns, and came back. We brought that playbook home: high standards, fast decisions, radical ownership, and an intensity that doesn't exist in Italy. We believe Milan can become a startup ecosystem that rivals London, Paris, or Berlin, and we intend to help build it. That means proving that a world-class company can be built here, with homegrown and international talent, in one of the most traditional industries in the country. What you build in the morning can be in an administrator's hands the same afternoon. We own outcomes, not tickets. "Merged" isn't the finish line; We work hard, on purpose. We protect what matters (health, rest, the people you love), but we won't pretend this is an easy job. It just means Livia isn't the right place for you. Design and own the data model for Italian buildings: units, owners, systems, contractors, contracts, decisions, and their full history. Build it so retrieval is fast and AI can actually reason over it. AI automation. Take the repetitive side of the trade off people's hands: reading and classifying invoices and documents, tracking deadlines, drafting communications, reconciling bank movements, preparing assembly materials. Internal platform. Build the tools our administrators and operations team use all day, so every request has a name, a deadline, and a clear status. Ship the experience that makes our promises visible: real-time accounts, request tracking, documents, and direct contact with the building's administrator. Every firm that joins Livia brings its buildings and data in a different format. Build the pipelines that bring years of messy records onto our platform cleanly, and connect us with banks, payment providers, and contractors. Our software touches real money and real homes. Own monitoring, testing, and evaluation, and keep the platform something people can trust.
