About the Role

Join an early-stage AI and construction technology team building a new BIM authoring tool designed for AI agents. You will help shape its core architecture and may have the opportunity to grow into a technical leadership role.

What You'll Do

  • Build the geometry and data core of a new BIM authoring tool.

  • Develop agents that plan and edit real building models.

  • Create generative design capabilities that account for building codes and client constraints.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience shipping production software, typically one or more years; substantial personal projects can complement shorter professional experience.

  • Hands-on experience with 3D geometry or CAD, such as geometry kernels, B-rep or mesh modeling, CAD APIs, IFC, or Revit.

  • Daily practical experience building with LLMs and AI agents.

  • A generalist mindset, with the ability to work across the stack and become productive in unfamiliar areas.

  • Startup or founder experience, and an interest in an early-stage environment.

  • Fluent English; German is not required.

  • Experience with Python, PyTorch, TypeScript, three.js, AEC or BIM workflows, or generative and multimodal models is useful.
