About The Position

Our client is building applied AI technology for the architecture, engineering, and construction ecosystem. Their mission is to transform how the built environment is designed and constructed by giving civil, structural, and MEP engineering teams modern AI tools to solve complex infrastructure, energy, and climate challenges. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, customer deployment, and applied AI. The engineer will work directly with civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms to understand their operations, identify high-leverage workflows, and build tools that create immediate value. This is not a traditional ticket-based engineering role. The engineer will embed with customers, earn trust with technical users, ship fast, debug in production, and bring learnings back into the core product. The ideal candidate is highly technical, customer-facing, curious, low-ego, and willing to do whatever it takes to make deployments successful.

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with the ability to build practical products quickly
  • Deep curiosity about how organizations, workflows, markets, and users actually operate
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with non-software engineering teams
  • Comfort working directly with users in the field, often in ambiguous or messy environments
  • Ability to turn noisy, conflicting feedback into clear product and technical priorities
  • High agency, low ego, and willingness to do whatever is needed to unblock a deployment
  • Ability to own outcomes, not just tasks
  • Excitement about building in a zero-to-one startup environment

Nice To Haves

  • Interest or experience in LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, browser automation, document parsing, or workflow automation

Responsibilities

  • Embed directly with engineering firms to understand their workflows, pain points, and opportunities for AI leverage
  • Work alongside civil, structural, and MEP engineers to identify the highest-impact problems to solve
  • Own deployments end-to-end, from discovery and build through launch, debugging, iteration, and adoption
  • Build fast, practical, customer-specific tools when needed
  • Translate customer learnings into scalable product and platform opportunities
  • Integrate with legacy AEC and Windows-native engineering software
  • Build scrapers, automation workflows, integrations, prototypes, and internal tools to test ideas quickly
  • Partner directly with the CTO on technical direction, product decisions, and engineering culture
  • Help turn field deployments into repeatable product leverage across future customers
  • Travel when needed to support customer deployments and build strong relationships
