The AI operating system for the built world. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
As a Founding Engineer, you will work directly with the founders on ambitious applied-AI and distributed-systems problems spanning multimodal reasoning, spatial intelligence, and the built world. You will help build BIM-native systems that understand plans, models, technical documents, regulations, and spatial relationships, and power autonomous agents that review, reason about, and coordinate complex development and construction projects.
What they're looking for
- Has built and shipped technically ambitious products
- Wants to work across AI systems, backend infrastructure, product, and frontend when necessary
- Understands that reliability, traceability, and evaluation matter more than impressive demos
- Thinks carefully about concurrency, state, retries, idempotency, rate limits, and failure modes
- Is deeply curious about frontier multimodal and agentic architectures
- Can turn ambiguous, real-world workflows into clear technical systems
More about this role
AutoSitu’s mission is to increase global GDP by making development approvals faster, clearer, and more consistent.
Every new home, hospital, school, data center, factory, and piece of infrastructure must move through layers of design review, code compliance, coordination, and government approval before it can be built. These processes shape how quickly communities grow, but much of the work is still performed manually across spreadsheets, PDFs, email threads, disconnected regulations, siloed BIM and discipline models and hundreds—or thousands—of pages of technical drawings.
The result is months of avoidable delay, repeated review cycles, costly rework, and experienced professionals spending their time searching for information instead of making decisions.
We are starting with autonomous development-review agents that understand plans, research requirements, identify issues, gather evidence, and escalate the judgment calls that genuinely require human expertise. Over time, this foundation will power agents that can help design, coordinate, and build the physical world.
If we get this right, housing, infrastructure, and economic development will move faster around the...
