About the Role
Join a 15-person B2B construction technology startup as a Software Engineer – AI, owning end-to-end AI features that solve real problems for construction professionals. You'll sit within the Product & Engineering team, working across the full stack — from database schema and LLM optimization to UI — while building platform foundations that allow new use cases to ship in roughly a month.
What You'll Do
-
Build and own end-to-end AI features from concept through production, including document versioning and agentic chat workflows.
-
Design and implement features across the full development lifecycle: database schema, LLM tuning, evaluation, and UI.
-
Manage evaluations, scoring, and error analysis on new and shipped AI features to ensure consistent quality.
-
Contribute to the workflow harness, decision-trace standard, and evaluation tooling that accelerates shipping new use cases.
-
Build reusable human review and approval surfaces that establish trust in AI output.
-
Model and evolve a construction ontology and project graph, including entity resolution across documents such as bills of quantities, contracts, and drawings.
-
Design features that link answers to evidence and make decisions auditable and traceable.
-
Extend multi-modal ingestion of unstructured documents — PDFs, scans, drawings, and 3D models — at scale.
-
Build read/write integrations with customer systems (document management, ERP) to complete workflows end-to-end.
-
Contribute to scalable data pipelines and support native BIM/DWG file processing.
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years of full-stack software engineering experience in fast-paced, B2B startup environments.
-
Proven track record delivering production-grade applied AI features to customers.
-
Proficiency in TypeScript, Python, and SQL for building full-stack applications.
-
Experience building backend APIs and database schemas (e.g. Fastify, Prisma, or equivalent).
-
Experience integrating and optimizing LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, Cohere, or similar).
-
Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS (RDS, S3, Elastic Beanstalk) or equivalent.
-
Experience building data pipelines and ETL workflows for processing unstructured data at scale.
-
Experience with vector databases and semantic search implementations.
-
Experience designing and implementing evaluation frameworks and error analysis for AI systems.
-
Experience building internal platform or developer-facing tooling that other engineers ship on top of.
-
Startup exposure or early-stage founding experience; comfort with autonomy, ambiguity, and end-to-end ownership.
-
Fluent spoken and written English; German is a genuine plus but not required.
-
Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (e.g. Prefect, Airflow), document processing/OCR, or observability tooling (e.g. Datadog, Langfuse) is a bonus.
