About the RoleJoin an early-stage, seed-funded AI startup in the construction tech space that is automating the process of reading construction blueprints and extracting material and cost data. The company is tackling a massive, largely manual industry problem using cutting-edge computer vision and AI - and this hire will be a core part of the technical foundation. If you love hard problems, shipping quickly, and iterating directly with users, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do- Focus on the intelligence layer - ML models, algorithms, and AI systems - rather than the application layer
- Apply the latest computer vision, LLM, and AI techniques to real construction documents (blueprints, plans, specs)
- Ship initial prototypes fast, then iterate based on direct user feedback
- Help design and coordinate a model-garden architecture for blueprint understanding
- Work on object detection models and supporting ML pipelines in production
What We're Looking ForRequired:- Hands-on applied Computer Vision and ML/Deep Learning experience
- Strong Python skills
- Proven 0-to-1 builder - you have shipped AI/ML systems to production
- Growth mindset: we value trajectory over pedigree
- Comfortable with ambiguity, early-stage grind, and getting deep into hard problems
- Communicates with empathy and honesty
Nice to Have:- Prior founder or startup experience - you've built something people used or paid for
- Background in construction, architecture, or related trades
- Impact-driven mindset aligned with making housing and infrastructure more accessible
Compensation & Details- Salary: $100,000 - $180,000 USD annually
- Employment: Full-time
- Visa sponsorship: Not available
LocationThis role is
fully on-site in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be SF-based or willing to relocate.
