About the role
Our mission
AutoSitu’s mission is to increase global GDP by making development approvals faster, clearer, and more consistent.
Every new home, hospital, school, data center, factory, and piece of infrastructure must move through layers of design review, code compliance, coordination, and government approval before it can be built. These processes shape how quickly communities grow, but much of the work is still performed manually across spreadsheets, PDFs, email threads, disconnected regulations, and hundreds—or thousands—of pages of technical drawings.
The result is months of avoidable delay, repeated review cycles, costly rework, and experienced professionals spending their time searching for information instead of making decisions.
We are building autonomous development-review agents that do the heavy lifting: understanding plans, researching requirements, identifying issues, gathering evidence, and escalating the judgment calls that genuinely require human expertise.
If we get this right, housing, infrastructure, and economic development will move faster around the world.
Who we are
AutoSitu was founded by George Zhai and Xuanshu “Asher” Lin. George brings expertise in robotics, autonomous systems, and applied AI, while Asher brings experience across architecture, urban planning, and development review. Together, they combine frontier automation expertise with firsthand knowledge of the systems governing how cities and buildings get approved.
What you will own and drive
As a Founding Engineer, you will work directly with the founders on difficult applied-AI and distributed-systems problems that sit at the intersection of vision, reasoning, regulation, and the physical world.
You will help build systems that can reason across hundreds or thousands of pages of architectural, civil, structural, and engineering documentation—then produce reliable conclusions that expert users can verify.
You will:
