You'll have a lot of autonomy to design, execute, and iterate. We move quickly, and you'll build deep expertise in the models you ship. We're looking for strong CV/ML engineers with good product judgment who are comfortable both designing solutions and doing the hands-on work to ship them.

Build strong CV models: detection, segmentation, OCR, reasoning over construction drawings. Accuracy matters — mistakes can cost a customer real money.

Own end-to-end pipelines: data ingestion, labeling, training, eval, and low-latency inference.

Improve performance across accuracy, robustness, and latency as we handle a wide range of drawing formats.

Ship to production — work closely with fullstack and product to get models into features customers use daily.
