Founding Engineer (Applied AI)

This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI startup transforming the construction pre-construction workflow through automated blueprint understanding and cost estimation. You'll own the intelligence layer — advancing computer vision and AI systems from research to reliable, shipped products that real users depend on. It's a high-impact position on a small, fast-moving team where your work directly shapes the core product.

Drive the intelligence layer of the product, focusing on CV/ML systems rather than application-layer work.

Apply cutting-edge computer vision models, LLMs, and AI systems to real construction workflows.

Ship initial prototypes quickly, then iterate and improve based on direct user feedback.

Coordinate and compose multiple ML models into coherent, production-ready pipelines.

Roll up your sleeves for hands-on, ground-level work — this team embraces "schlep" as part of building early-stage products.

Proven 0-to-1 builder with AI systems shipped to production.

Strong applied ML experience, including machine learning , deep learning , and computer vision (object detection a plus).
