## About the role

In this role, you will build the intelligence behind the product that gets stuff built. Permitting runs on messy inputs—scanned plan sets, jurisdiction code, reviewer comments, application forms that differ in every city—and turning that into something fast, structured, and trustworthy is the core technical problem at Pulley. As a senior-level AI engineer, you will:

## What they're looking for

- You thrive in ambiguity—you’d rather define the right problem than execute a spec, and you’re energized rather than paralyzed when the path isn’t laid out
- You’re product-minded: you care whether the thing you built actually solved the customer’s problem, and you’ll talk to users to find out
- You’re rigorous about what “working” means—you don’t trust a demo, you trust an eval, and you build the measurement before you build the feature
- You have strong opinions about quality and velocity and don’t treat them as a tradeoff—you look for the tools, abstractions, and processes that buy both
- You default to ownership: when something is broken or missing, your instinct is to fix it, not to file it as someone else’s problem
