Zero acquires and transforms Owner. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Design and implement generative AI models for automated building design, including floor plan generation, facade design, and structural optimization using state-of-the-art architectures (diffusion models, transformers, GANs). Develop computer vision pipelines for design and drawing analysis using modern frameworks like YOLO, SAM, and NeRF-based 3D reconstruction.
What they're looking for
- Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, AI/ML, Computational Design, or related field (or equivalent industry experience)
- 3-5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying ML models in production environments
- Deep expertise with modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)
- Strong foundation in computer vision, 3D geometry processing, and spatial reasoning algorithms
- Experience with generative AI models (VAEs, GANs, Diffusion Models, Transformers) and their practical applications
- Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, Open3D, trimesh)
More about this role
Artificial intelligence is rewriting every industry it touches — but construction, the second largest sector in the global economy, has barely felt it yet. That's not a problem. That's an opening. ZeroRFI is the AI company building the intelligence layer for the built environment — the platform that makes every building project smarter, faster, and more predictable than the last. We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to architect the systems that put AI at the center of how buildings get designed, built, and operated. This isn't AI as a feature. It's AI as the foundation.
We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to lead the development of automated building design systems and advance the state-of-the-art in AI/ML applications for the built environment. You'll architect and implement generative design algorithms, computer vision systems, and optimization models that fundamentally transform how buildings are conceived, designed, and validated. This role sits at the intersection of deep learning, computational geometry, and architectural design, creating AI systems that augment human creativity while respecting engineering constraints and building codes.
