Founding Product Engineer

Bild AI is an early-stage startup with a ton of really difficult technical challenges to solve. We're building blueprint understanding with a model-garden approach, so there is a lots of ground to break. We raised from the top VCs in the world before demo day and have a customer-obsessed approach to product development.

We founded Bild AI to tackle the mess that is blueprint reading, cost estimation, and permit applications in construction. It's a tough technical problem that requires the newest CV and AI approaches, and we’re impact-driven to make it more efficient to build more houses, hospitals, and schools.

We're building computer vision object detection models and coordinating these models. We're really focused on the intelligence-side more than the application-side, so it's a lot of ML and algorithm development.
