Job description

🚀 About PermitFlow

PermitFlow is building AI agents for the $1.6T construction industry. We’re creating the leading preconstruction platform, starting with the $12B permitting market.

Our platform automates the slow, manual permitting process for builders, handling everything from jurisdiction research to application preparation, submission, and realtime tracking. By turning fragmented regulations and workflows into structured, intelligent systems, we help contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

Weve raised over $36.5M with Kleiner Perkins leading our Series A, with participation from Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, and Altos Ventures. Our backers include founders and executives from OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, Uber, and more.

We are a team of architects, engineers, permitting experts, and product builders who know the pain of preconstruction firsthand and are committed to solving it. Demand is growing faster than we can keep up, and we’re looking for top talent to help us scale.

Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 inoffice days per week). We prefer NYCbased candidates or those open to relocation.

What You’ll Do

As an Applied AI Engineer, you will design and deploy the AI agents that power PermitFlow’s preconstruction platform. You will own the full lifecycle of intelligent agents—from model development to orchestration, productionization, and evaluation—while contributing to core platform engineering.

You will:

  • Develop and deploy AI agents that automate permitting workflows endtoend

  • Orchestrate multiple models and tools to create reliable, multistep AI systems

  • Build the internal tools and infrastructure that power and monitor these agents

  • Design and implement backend and frontend services, APIs, and data pipelines, integrating AI functionality into userfacing features when needed

  • Contribute to system architecture and core platform design with the engineering team

  • Design and maintain a suite of evaluations and benchmarks to measure agent accuracy, reliability, and costeffectiveness

  • Optimize inference pipelines and backend systems for speed, scalability, and cost

    • 🙌 What Were Looking For
      • 3+ years in software or ML engineering postBSMS

      • Handson experience shipping production AIML systems or AIpowered products

      • Experience building multistep ML systems, pipelines, or agentic workflows

      • Strong backend and API development skills, with some frontend experience

      • Track record of building reliable products with attention to quality and detail

      • Startup grit and comfort in fastmoving, evolving environments


        • 💙 Benefits
