About the Role

We’re launching a Domain Experts in Residence (DEIR) program to embed experienced AEC practitioners directly into how our AI agents and workflows are designed, evaluated, and shipped.

This is not a traditional advisory role. As a Domain Expert in Residence, you’ll be hands-on in defining real-world AEC tasks, building datasets, and shaping evaluation criteria that determine how our agents perform across the project lifecycle.

This role is ideal for practitioners who want to shape the future of tools used by their profession.

What You’ll Do

  • Define real-world AEC task specifications for AI agents (e.g., drawing reviews, code compliance, RFIs, submittals, spec review, QA/QC, coordination)
  • Create and label gold-standard datasets from real project artifacts (drawings, specs, RFIs, submittals)
  • Design evaluation rubrics for agent outputs (severity, discipline, correctness, usefulness)
  • Co-design default workflows that ship to customers
  • Pressure-test agents against real-world project scenarios and common failure modes
  • Partner closely with product, ML, and engineering teams to translate domain practice into scalable AI systems

Who You Are

6+ years of professional experience in one or more of

  • Architecture
  • Structural Engineering
  • MEP Engineering
  • Construction / Project Management
  • QA/QC or Code Compliance
  • Deep familiarity with real AEC workflows and project deliverables
  • Comfortable articulating how work is actually done in practice
  • Curious about AI tools and automation (no ML background required)
  • Motivated to shape the future of AEC tooling

Nice to Have

  • Experience with QA/QC processes or design reviews
  • Familiarity with building codes (IBC, ADA, NFPA, local codes)
  • Experience writing standards, checklists, or internal review frameworks
  • Interest in product development

Why This Role Is Different

  • You’ll help define how AI supports real AEC workflows
  • Your expertise will directly shape products used by real firms
  • You’ll work closely with product and ML teams
  • You’ll influence the next generation of tools for your profession

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Equity for full-time roles
  • Flexible part-time options for specialists
