About the role

Join a small, impact-driven product team at a seed-stage AI startup transforming the construction industry.
As a Founding Product Engineer, you'll be one of the earliest engineers on the team, owning features end-to-end, working directly with customers, and helping shape the product and company from the ground up.

Own features end-to-end - from customer discovery to shipping in production.
Build intuitive UIs that make complex blueprint and hardware data feel simple for users accustomed to paper-based workflows.
Demonstrated ability to build and ship full-stack software (React frontend + Python backend)

Construction, blueprint, or related domain knowledge or a genuine interest in the industry.
High-ownership, founding-team role with significant influence over product direction
San Francisco, CA, USA - full-time, in-office
Candidates must be based in SF or willing to relocate
Visa sponsorship: Not available - US work authorization required

The company builds computer vision and AI solutions that simplify blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications - helping teams deliver more homes, hospitals, and schools faster and with less waste.
Early-stage equity opportunity

Act as a 0-to-1 architect and builder, taking ideas from concept to production.
Shape product direction - not just implementation details.
Apply strong product taste to how things look, feel, and work for real users.
Communicate with empathy and honesty within the team and directly with customers.
Roll up your sleeves for the operational "schlep" that keeps a seed-stage startup moving.
Interview customers weekly and translate messy domain knowledge into clear, useful product decisions.
