ABOUT THE ROLE

Full job description

ABOUT THE ROLE Join an early-stage construction technology team as a Founding Engineer focused on applied AI. You will build the intelligence layer behind tools that interpret construction blueprints and support faster, more affordable construction workflows. WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop and improve computer vision, machine learning, and AI systems, with a focus on object detection and coordinating models.
  • Explore and apply current computer vision techniques, large language models, and other AI systems to practical problems.
  • Build and ship early prototypes quickly, then refine them using user feedback.
  • Contribute to pragmatic early-stage work beyond core modeling when needed. 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 broad range of experience levels.
  • Experience building an AI system from 0 to 1 and deploying it in production.
  • Comfort working through ambiguous, challenging problems and taking on practical work beyond modeling.
  • A growth mindset and an empathetic, candid communication style.
  • Motivation to use AI to help make housing more affordable.
  • Construction or social-impact experience is useful, as is having built a product or project adopted or paid for by users.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $120,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. LOCATION Full-time, on-site in San Francisco, California. Candidates must be based in the area or willing to relocate.
