Visiting Engineer: Interlock AI

AIFund • Mountain View, CA

23h • Onsite

About The Position

This role is to build an AI review assistant that flags inconsistencies, mismatched parameters, and checklist gaps across technical documents, making review teams faster and more systematic without replacing their judgment. The goal is to pressure-test the idea quickly and honestly with real users and customers. You will be building an AI Fund idea, not bringing your own startup idea into the program.

Requirements

• Strong engineering skills and hands-on experience with document AI, PDF extraction, cross-document reasoning, or review workflows.
• Comfort building systems for regulated or high-consequence environments where citations and traceability matter.
• Judgment about how to combine deterministic extraction, heuristics, and model-based reasoning without overpromising.
• The ability to build useful reviewer workflows instead of pure backend demos.
• You know how to use AI coding assistants and modern AI tools to move faster while keeping the evidence chain explicit.
• US work authorization. We are unable to sponsor visas for this role.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in AEC, utilities, legal tech, compliance tooling, or enterprise document review.
• Experience with scanned PDFs, table extraction, document citation systems, or audit trails.
• Founder or founding engineer experience in workflow-heavy B2B software.

Responsibilities

• Own the product from document ingestion and structured extraction through discrepancy detection and reviewer experience.
• Make pragmatic choices about OCR, layout parsing, citations, confidence, and escalation paths.
• Focus the system on verifiable mismatches rather than overclaiming expert-level engineering conclusions.
• Work with domain experts to understand what kinds of misses are expensive and what evidence they need to trust a flag.
• Work with AI Fund's build team on wedge selection, technical scope, and the fastest path to real workflow value.

Benefits

• Compensation $10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total).
• If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.
