About Structured AI
Structured AI is building the AI workforce for construction design engineering.
Today, billions of dollars and months of human effort are wasted because engineers must manually check thousands of drawings for tiny mistakes that lead to massive rework. It's slow, painful, and deeply uncreative.
We're changing that.
Structured builds AI agents that understand complex mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil drawings — and automatically perform high-precision QA/QC, code compliance, and design consistency checks.
Engineers shouldn't be stuck hunting for missing tags at 2 AM. They should focus on designing the future.
Our long-term vision is bold:
become the go-to software platform for design engineers — from quality-controlling plans today, to generating and optimizing them tomorrow.
This means next-generation computer vision systems, autonomous workflows, and eventually true AI co-designers.
Why Join
- Rare combo: frontier AI + a giant industry that actually needs help
- Founders are Oxford grads, ex-finance rebels, and a former Minecraft-coding gremlin
- Vibes: smart, ambitious, funny, no ego, deeply care about great work
- YC-backed, well-funded, and already generating revenue
- Huge ownership and extremely fast career progression
What You'll Do
- Work directly with engineers and architects to understand their workflows and iterate on solutions in real-time
- Build backend services for high-volume drawing processing
- Develop AI/ML pipelines for automated QA/QC
- Create intuitive UIs for engineers and architects
- Optimize performance for massive PDFs and complex images
- Shape architecture, product direction, and engineering culture
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years software experience, strong in Python or TypeScript/JavaScript
- You’re a builder who enjoys talking to humans, gather feedback on the front lines, and translate user needs into code
- Cloud experience (Azure, AWS, GCP)
- Familiar with ML/data pipelines
- Strong debugging + problem-solving
- Clear communicator and solid teammate
Nice to Have
- AEC experience (design, construction, CAD/BIM)
- Computer vision or document analysis background
- Experience with compliance systems or rule engines
