Company info
- Transforming Construction Permitting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbxs_TzlTTo
- PermitFlow provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or family status, as protected by applicable law.
- We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
- All employment decisions are based on merit, qualifications, and business needs.
- Construction remains one of the largest real-world systems still operating on fragmented, manual infrastructure.
- Every project in the U.S. moves through permitting and pre-construction workflows spread across ~20,000 jurisdictions - each with inconsistent rules, systems, and levels of digitization.
- This creates one of the largest bottlenecks in the physical economy, delaying housing and infrastructure projects and costing billions in lost time and capital every year.
- PermitFlow is rebuilding this layer from the ground up - using modern software and AI systems to automate permitting end-to-end.
- We are still early, and the core systems are actively being defined.
- This is one of those rare moments where engineering decisions directly shape an emerging category.

- We're looking for strong technical leaders who thrive in high-ownership, high-ambiguity environments.
