Join an early-stage construction technology team building AI systems that interpret construction plans and support faster, more affordable building workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and improve computer vision, large language model, and other AI systems for construction workflows.

  • Build and ship early prototypes quickly, then refine them using user feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • Hands-on applied computer vision and machine learning experience, including Python and deep learning; the role is open to a range of experience levels.

  • Experience taking an AI system from an initial build through production deployment.

  • Strong communication skills, empathy, candor, and a growth mindset.

  • Comfort with pragmatic early-stage work and challenging problems outside a narrow technical specialty.

  • Motivation to use technology to make housing more affordable, rather than focusing primarily on compensation.

  • U.S. citizenship and willingness to work full-time from the San Francisco office or relocate.

  • Construction or social-impact experience, or a history of building something adopted or paid for by users, is helpful.
