About the role
We are looking for a Director of AI Engineering with 8-15 years of experience to lead the development of our AI capabilities from the ground up. You are a hands-on technical leader who thrives in ambiguity, has deep expertise in computer vision and production ML systems, and is excited by the prospect of building — not just scaling — an AI function. You'll own the entire ML pipeline and infrastructure end-to-end, making fast decisions on what to pursue and what to abandon. This is a greenfield opportunity at a rapidly growing construction tech company where AI will define the next generation of our product.
What will you be doing?
-
Developing and executing the computer vision strategy across edge and cloud, including resource allocation and architectural decisions within the first 60 days
-
Running rapid experimentation to determine how LLMs/LVMs can be combined with custom CV models to elevate the product's value proposition for construction customers
-
Building initial prototypes and proof-of-concepts yourself before pulling in ICs to scale promising ideas
-
Leading and growing a small team of ML engineers (currently 2, scaling to 5-10 over the next year), with minimal management overhead and maximum technical contribution
-
Fine-tuning open-source large vision and language models with construction-specific imagery and data to solve domain-specific problems
