$100K - $180K•0.20% - 0.80%•San Francisco, CA, US

We founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in construction. It's a tough technical problem that requires the newest CV and AI approaches, and we’re impact-driven to make it more efficient to build more houses, hospitals, and schools. Featured on Business Insider.

You’ll

• Own features end-to-end — interview customers every week and watch them use the product, and ship the feature they need by the next week
• Build UIs that make complex blueprint and hardware data feel simple for people who've been doing this on paper for 20 years
• Work across the stack: React frontend, Python backend + infra
• Shape what we build next, not just how we build it

We want

• Great product taste — you care about how things look, feel, and work for the user
• 0-to-1 architect and builder who can work across the entire stack
• Comfort talking to customers directly and translating messy domain knowledge into clean product decisions
• Growth mindset, slope > y-intercept
• Communicate with empathy and honesty. Tell us what makes you happy/unhappy
• Don’t mind schlep. We are regularly knee-deep in schlep

Bonus points (if any)

• Have built something people used/paid for (founder/startup)
• Have a construction background
• Are impact-driven
