About the role
- Position Overview Join the AI lab bringing visual intelligent applications to the construction trades.
- Contractors burn dozens of hours per project doing takeoffs by hand.
- We automate it - with models that have to be better than human, on messy real-world drawings.
Responsibilities
- Build SOTA CV models: Detect, segment, OCR, and reason over construction drawings. Accuracy isn't academic - one mistake costs a customer millions.
- Own end-to-end pipelines: Data ingestion, labeling, training, eval, and low-latency inference. If it doesn't run in prod, it doesn't count.
- Architectural Stewardship: Having shipped extensively at Bobyard, you define the infrastructure strategy, ensuring our ML systems remain scalable, modular, and performant across the increasing diversity of construction trades we support.
- Trade-Expert Execution: You translate deep understanding of diverse construction trade requirements into model architectures. You don't just build models
- Technical Leadership & Mentorship: You elevate the team by embedding your learned expertise into our engineering culture, guiding junior engineers through the nuances of production-grade CV and setting the bar for robust system design and testing.
- Strategic Project Ownership: You partner with Product and Engineering leadership to set the technical roadmap. You take ownership of high-impact, cross-functional projects, steering them from architectural ideation through to reliable production deployment.
- Build SOTA CV models: Detect, segment, OCR, and reason over construction drawings.
- You don't just build models; you guide projects that require orchestration across multiple trades to solve complex, real-world takeoff challenges.
- Founder-level drive: You own model performance like it's your company. No one tells you what to fix - you already know.
- Bobyard targets competitive top-of-market compensation because we hire people who ship and drive real impact - and we aim to reward that, including through variable pay tied to performance.
Requirements
- We want world-class ML engineers with product taste and the ability to go heads down and produce exceptional systems.
- You know the gap between 90% and 99.9% and how to close it.
Compensation
- Bobyard targets competitive top-of-market compensation because we hire people who ship and drive real impact — and we aim to reward that, including through variable pay tied to performance.
Benefits
- Segmentation, detection, document AI, vision-language - you've been in the trenches.
- Learning machine: New architecture on Monday, beating our baseline by Friday.
- Learning rate and dedication beat pedigree.
