Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout 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.
Location
San Francisco, CA — fully on-site, 5 days per week. Candidates must be SF-based or willing to relocate.
