About SureHost
SureHost is an early-stage hospitality technology company based in Des Moines, Iowa. We help growing short-term rental operators confirm each property is guest-ready after a cleaning turn, using documented property standards, photo and video evidence, AI-assisted review, and human review where it matters.
We are working with an initial paying customer and preparing for broader growth in the U.S. market. Our customer and product work happens in Des Moines, and our technical team is based in Pune, India. Our stack is Python and Flutter, deployed on GCP.
The role
This is a hands-on field role. You will visit short-term rental properties around the Des Moines metro and capture clear, consistent video using a provided shot list and quality standards. Your footage supports property onboarding and audit workflows, and it helps build the visual dataset behind SureHost's AI-assisted review.
You will work with our Product Manager and see how real property standards become a working product.
What you will do
- Visit assigned short-term rental properties and capture steady, well-framed video that follows the shot list and quality standards.
- Organize, label, and upload footage using a consistent file-naming process so it is ready for onboarding, audits, and product work.
- Note missing, inconsistent, or unusual property details and share findings with the product and operations team.
- Help build a high-quality visual dataset that improves SureHost's AI-assisted review.
- Follow property-access instructions, privacy requirements, and safety guidelines at every location.
What you bring
- Open to high school students and candidates early in an undergraduate program. No prior software or AI experience required.
