About the role

Puneet and I (Roop) founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is
blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in
construction. It's a tough technical problem that requires the newest
CV and AI approaches, and we're impact-driven to make it more
efficient to build more houses, hospitals, and schools. Featured on
Business Insider.

You'll

  * Focus on the intelligence-layer instead of the application-layer
  * Apply the newest computer vision, LLM models, and AI systems
  * Ship initial prototypes quickly, and improve them based on user
    feedback

We want

  * Applied CV/ML experience
  * 0-to-1 builder, with your AI in production
  * Growth mindset, slope > y-intercept
  * Communicate with empathy and honesty. Tell us what makes you
    happy/unhappy
  * Don't mind schlep. We are regularly knee-deep in schlep

Bonus points (if any)

  * Have built something people used/paid for (founder/startup)
  * Have a construction background
  * Are impact-driven

Message with

  * Why we're a fit
  * Your favorite fruit (mine is Sitaphal)
  * (Please keep it short)

Logistics

  * SF-based or willing to relocate, fulltime in-office

About Bild AI

Bild AI is an early-stage startup with a ton of really difficult
technical challenges to solve. We're building blueprint understanding
with a model-garden approach, so there is a lots of ground to break.
We raised from the top VCs in the world before demo day and have a
customer-obsessed approach to product development.
