About the role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager, New Products to lead the engineering team turning our next product bets into shipped, revenue-generating systems. This is a builder-leader role. You will own both people leadership and technical execution for products that don't exist yet, moving from hypothesis to pilot to commercial launch, often on a compressed timeline and with an incomplete spec.

What they're looking for

  • We’re looking for strong technical leaders who thrive in high-ownership, high-ambiguity environments
  • 5+ years in software engineering, including 1+ year in engineering leadership
  • Direct experience shipping a 0-to-1 product or system in a startup or high-growth environment, ideally through to commercial launch
  • Strong system design and architecture fundamentals, with the judgment to build for speed of learning first and durability second, then know when to reverse that order
  • Ability to lead through ambiguity and turn an incomplete spec into structured execution
  • Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
More about this role

PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how . Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.

Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.

As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.

We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins , Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos...
