PermitFlow simplifies permit preparation, submission, and tracks nationwide. Our platform handles the paperwork across all municipalities. Backed by Accel, Kleiner Perkins and Y Combinator.
About the role
We're hiring a Staff/Principal Engineer to build PermitFlow's core product AI Assistant, infrastructure, and workflow agents. This is a role that will require UX and technical acumen to deliver high quality agents in a genuinely complex domain, while also up-leveling our core agentic infrastructure and data flywheel. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You've shipped an assistant or agentic product at meaningful scale
- Deep, current knowledge of the agentic stack (tool calling and tool design, context engineering, memory, retrieval, orchestration patterns, etc)
- You’ve built eval harnesses that changed what a team worked on, and you can articulate what makes an eval trustworthy
- You are a genuinely strong software engineer, not an AI specialist who needs someone else to make it production-ready. You’ve owned services in production and you write code that other people are glad to inherit
- You operate with earned authority. You influence through demonstrated judgment, working code, and clear writing rather than title or mandate
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with recent time spent building LLM-powered products
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...
