About the Role

Join an early-stage AI/ML startup tackling one of construction's most challenging problems: automating blueprint reading, cost estimation, and material takeoffs. The team raised a seed round from top-tier VCs before demo day and is deeply customer-obsessed. You'll be among the first engineers, owning the full stack and helping shape the product from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Build beautiful, intuitive UIs that surface computer vision model outputs to end users

• Work with geometries, streaming data, and design complex user interactions

• Ship initial prototypes quickly, then iterate based on direct user feedback

• Collaborate closely with founders and customers to drive product direction

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Strong frontend experience, particularly with React and TypeScript

• Proven full-stack ability — comfortable building 0-to-1 across the entire stack

• Track record of shipping real products used or paid for by real users

• Deep problem-solving skills, especially in open-ended, math-oriented contexts

• Strong communication skills emphasizing empathy and honesty

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field (exceptional portfolio considered in lieu)

• Experience as an early employee or founding engineer at a startup

• Willingness to work fully in-person in San Francisco 5 days per week

Nice to Have:

• Proficiency in Python

• Experience in or with the construction industry (e.g. Autodesk, PDF workflows, real estate)

• Prior founder experience or something you've built that people used or paid for

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $100,000 – $180,000 USD annually, depending on experience

• Equity in an early-stage, venture-backed company

• Direct impact on a product solving a real, large-scale industry problem

Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
