About National Fair Housing Alliance&nbsp;
The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) leads the fair housing movement and is the nation's only national organization exclusively dedicated to&nbsp;eliminating&nbsp;all forms of housing discrimination and ensuring&nbsp;equitable&nbsp;housing opportunities for all people and communities. We have a diverse, experienced, mission-driven, and impactful team that has developed equity-based policies at the federal, state, and local levels to expand fair housing opportunities; brought precedent-setting litigation to eliminate some of the most heinous forms of housing discrimination; conducted groundbreaking research to promote equitable solutions; and invested millions of dollars in underserved communities. We have solid relationships, built on trust, with national, regional, and local organizations, and we effectively draw upon these connections to reach vital goals. We are game changers that millions of people rely upon to advance fair housing.&nbsp;
Where you live matters. It affects every aspect of your life and&nbsp;determines&nbsp;whether you have access to the options and opportunities we all need to thrive. Yet despite important existing federal laws, more than 4 million acts of housing discrimination occur in the U.S. each year, and housing inequality&nbsp;remains&nbsp;stubbornly entrenched. That is why—through its education and outreach, member services, public policy, advocacy, housing and community development, responsible AI, enforcement, and consulting and compliance programs—NFHA is dismantling longstanding barriers to equity, rooting out bias, and building diverse, inclusive, well-resourced communities.&nbsp; Position Summary&nbsp; The AI Engineer&nbsp;is responsible for&nbsp;developing, deploying,&nbsp;monitoring, and&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;AI systems that support the organization's mission to advance&nbsp;equitable&nbsp;housing policies. This role ensures the reliability and performance of AI infrastructure while integrating AI-driven solutions to aid in data analysis, decision-making, and policy development. The&nbsp;AI&nbsp;Engineer&nbsp;works closely with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, legal, and housing policy stakeholders, to align AI systems with organizational&nbsp;objectives&nbsp;and to enhance operational efficiency and compliance with fair housing laws. &nbsp; This is a hybrid position requiring the employee to commute to our Washington DC office on Pennsylvania Ave 2-3 days each week.
