About the Role

Join an early-stage construction technology team developing AI tools for understanding blueprints and supporting project cost estimation. You will focus on the intelligence layer, building computer vision and machine learning systems from prototypes into dependable tools that improve construction workflows.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and improve the computer vision, machine learning, and AI systems that power blueprint analysis.

  • Explore and apply current computer vision and large language model techniques to practical construction problems.

  • Build initial prototypes quickly, then refine them using user feedback.

  • Contribute pragmatically to early-stage product work beyond core model development when needed.

What We're Looking For

  • Hands-on applied computer vision and machine learning experience, including Python and deep learning.

  • Experience taking an AI system from an early concept through production deployment.

  • Strong problem-solving skills, a growth mindset, and comfort working through ambiguous, practical challenges.

  • Clear, empathetic communication and willingness to be candid about results.

  • Interest in improving housing affordability and construction workflows.

  • Construction or social-impact experience, or having built a product adopted or paid for by users, is a plus.

  • Must be a U.S. citizen and able to work full-time on-site in San Francisco, or relocate.
