Founding Engineer (Applied AI)

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.
