AI Engineer: Computer Vision, LLMs & ML

Intellus Build is the Infrastructure of Truth -the AI-native operating system that connects dirt to dollars. The Problem: Construction sites generate terabytes of unstructured data daily-photos, documents, videos, sensor readings. Currently, this valuable information goes to waste. Your Mission: Build AI systems that transform construction chaos into actionable intelligence.

What You’ll Build As the founding AI engineer, you’ll tackle problems that don’t have Stack Overflow answers:

• Build RAG systems that understand construction terminology-teach AI the difference between ‘pour concrete’ and ‘poor concrete’
• Deploy computer vision that detects safety violations from grainy phone photos taken at 6 AM
• Create AI assistants that answer ‘What’s the status of the Stanford dorm project?’ by reasoning across blueprints, contracts, RFIs, and daily photo logs
• Design real-time progress tracking that works even when construction sites have terrible WiFi
• Build domain-aware AI that makes construction sites safer and more efficient
• Build verification systems that track equipment from PO to energization across complex supply chains, We’re flexible on the stack, but likely:
• LLM APIs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini-multi-model approach
• Orchestration: LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom frameworks
• Vector stores: Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector
• ML frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX You’ll help shape these choices as we build.

• Recent graduate from top AI program (Stanford AI Lab, MIT CSAIL, or equivalent) OR 2-3+ years building production ML systems
• Focused on practical AI applications, not just research demos
• Comfortable with the full ML stack: data processing * model selection * deployment * monitoring
• Able to move quickly-you prototype in hours, not weeks, + Shipped at least one LLM-based application used by real users
• Experience with RAG, embeddings, and vector databases
• Strong Python skills plus PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
• Ability to explain complex ML concepts to non-technical stakeholders, + Computer vision experience (YOLO, Segment Anything, etc.)
• Published ML research or Kaggle competition medals
• Experience with construction, manufacturing, or industrial datasets
• Track record of optimizing inference costs

Construction creates the world around us-yet still runs on WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and gut feel. Sites generate terabytes of data daily-yet none of it tells anyone what to do next. This isn’t a data problem. It’s an Intelligence problem. We’re building the nervous system for construction. Think Palantir meets Procore, but actually usable by contractors. Our first customers are already begging for access. You’ll be the founding AI engineer, building alongside our founder and construction industry veterans. Async-first. Remote-friendly. Zero bureaucracy. No meetings about meetings. Just ship code that moves dirt and dollars.

You’ll turn cutting-edge LLM and vision research into tools that run on dusty job sites and mobile devices.
