## Description

We are hiring a Founding AI/ML Engineer to architect and ship production-grade AI systems transforming one of the world's largest and least automated industries - construction. This is a product-first AI engineering role focused on multimodal intelligence, document understanding, and agentic workflow automation. You will work directly with the Chief AI Officer and founders to move from low-automation to high-automation mode, where AI agents perform core operational work with light human oversight., Build and ship production-grade AI systems used daily by real customers
Design multimodal pipelines for drawings, specs, and construction documents
Build agentic workflows automating preconstruction tasks:

 * Document intake
 * Extraction
 * Takeoff support
 * Bid preparation
 * QA workflows

Build and improve:

 * Retrieval systems (embeddings, reranking, chunking)
 * Evaluation systems
 * Orchestration layers

Optimize model quality, latency, reliability, and cost efficiency
Prototype and iterate quickly on customer-facing AI features
Own systems end-to-end (experiment deploy monitor improve)
Help shape engineering culture and long-term technical direction
