Product Manager, Applied AI (Staff / Senior Staff)
About The Position
PermitFlow is redefining how America builds by serving the nation’s builders with applied AI. Our AI agent workforce helps construction companies navigate permitting, licensing, inspections, and project closeouts, accelerating development. Construction, a $1.6T industry, faces delays and inefficiencies. PermitFlow has already delivered speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development. As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle, PermitFlow is building the AI infrastructure at the core of these projects. The company has raised over $90M from top-tier investors and leaders in the tech industry. PermitFlow is rebuilding the permitting and pre-construction workflow layer from the ground up using modern software and AI systems to automate and orchestrate permitting end-to-end. This is a unique opportunity to shape how the physical world gets built.
Requirements
- Shipped AI into production in domains where accuracy carries real-world consequences.
- 7+ years of product management experience, or an equivalent track record in forward deployed engineering, applied research, or operations leadership.
- Direct ownership of the quality bar for a shipped AI/Agentic system.
- Hands-on experience building evaluations, including experience with golden data sets, LLM-as-judge, human annotation, and online monitoring.

- Own the path to full automation, segmenting use cases and driving to single-shot submission where accuracy allows.
- Design the architecture for assistive use cases, building agents and tools that empower permit coordinators where human-in-the-loop is the best solution.
- Work with the operations organization to build an evaluation and data flywheel through early testing, golden data set generation, and structured error analysis ahead of submission.
- Build a durable design system around the data flywheel, ensuring users can easily provide feedback on Agents & AI products.
- Build the internal toolset for testing, error analysis, and hill climbing that every team at PermitFlow uses to ship agentic work.
