Overview

We founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in construction. It's a really 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

Own features end-to-end — interview customers every week and watch them use the product, and ship the feature they need by the next week
Actually use the algorithms, data structures, and system design that you learned
Revolutionize how people read blueprints today for people who've been doing this on paper. They actually thank us on customer calls and are giddy when we launch new features
Work across the stack: React frontend, Python backend + infra
Have ownership on product direction and approach across everything we build

We want

Great product taste — you care about how things look, feel, and work for the user
0-to-1 architect and builder who can work across the entire stack
Comfort talking to customers directly and translating messy domain knowledge into clean product decisions
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
