Senior Civil Engineer

About The Position

We are automating construction end to end to usher in a new era of abundance and beauty in the physical world. The company is looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to bring deep, practicing site-civil expertise into their product. This role involves pairing hands-on design experience (grading and earthwork, hydrology, permitting, geotechnical, etc.) with product development, translating how an excellent civil engineer thinks, checks, and makes judgment calls into capabilities within their automated design engine product. This product leverages AI to automate every step of the engineering design process to produce end construction design deliverables for large scale capital projects such as utility scale power and data centers. The Senior Civil Engineer will set the bar for what "correct" means on every civil deliverable shipped. This role is in-person in San Francisco, CA.

Requirements

• Owned significant civil engineering scopes within the design of large scale projects such as utility scale power stations, data centers, launch vehicle facilities, mass-scale manufacturing operations, mining operations, or similar.
• T-shaped technical excellence: broad understanding of how the civil scope connects to adjacent disciplines, and the implications of trade-offs across them, while also having deep expertise in 1-2 areas.
• Evidence of strong first principles thinking: someone who has challenged "this is how we've always done it" syndrome.
• Excitement to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and embrace extreme ownership where we rethink many of the traditional "best-practices" of an industry that has been mostly frozen for 70+ years.
• The ability to prioritize impact by ruthlessly finding the bottlenecks and solving the most important problems.
• Hands-on engineers who can speak to the excruciating minutia and details of their work, and are excited to execute instead of manage/organize others' work.
• Mission alignment and desire to build a future of abundance.
• Significant hands-on civil design experience.

Nice To Haves

• PE strongly preferred.
• Experience with utility scale natural gas power generation plant and/or solar design.
• Experience building your own calculation, analysis, or design-automation tools.
• Experience with AI coding agent tools (Codex, Claude Code, etc) for work or personal uses.

Responsibilities

• Bring deep, practicing site-civil expertise into the product.
• Pair hands-on design experience with product development.
• Turn how an excellent civil engineer thinks, checks, and makes judgment calls into capabilities within the automated design engine product.
• Set the bar for what "correct" means on every civil deliverable shipped.
