Join an eight-person team revolutionizing the $13 trillion construction industry. You will build autonomous AI agents that read complex blueprints, manage multi-million-dollar bids, and automate critical pre-construction workflows. This role offers the chance to own a new category, bridging multimodal models with real-world document intelligence to save thousands of hours per project.
Founding Engineer - AI at Muro AI — SF-based AI for Pre-Construction
Join Muro AI as a Founding Engineer and lead the charge in automating the $13T pre-construction industry. Backed by the same VCs behind construction tech legends like PlanGrid, you’ll build agentic workflows and RAG pipelines that process massive, 1,500-page plan sets. If you have 4+ years of experience shipping production AI and want to own the stack from computer vision to Procore integrations in a high-growth San Francisco startup, this is your 0→1 moment to turn weeks of manual bidding into hours of autonomous work.
