Founding Engineer (Applied AI)
About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage construction technology startup using AI to automate blueprint analysis, material takeoffs, and cost estimation. You'll own the intelligence layer, advancing computer vision and AI systems from research to shipped prototypes that real users rely on. It's a high-impact position on a small, focused team working to make housing development faster and more affordable.
What You'll Do
Drive the intelligence layer of the product, not the application layer.
Apply the latest computer vision models, LLMs, and AI systems to hard construction-domain problems.
Ship working prototypes quickly and iterate based on direct user feedback.
Coordinate and orchestrate multiple ML models as part of a broader AI system.
Take on pragmatic early-stage work outside the core modeling problem when the team needs it.
What We're Looking For
Hands-on applied computer vision and machine learning experience, including Python and deep learning.
Demonstrated ability to take an AI system from zero to one and deploy it in production.
