工程经理
Engineering Manager
PermitFlow 正在重新定义美国的建设方式。我们是一家应用人工智能公司，为全国的建设者服务，解决经济中最大的信息挑战之一：了解什么可以建设、在哪里建设以及如何建设。我们的 AI 代理团队帮助增长最快的建筑公司处理从许可和执照到检查和项目收尾的所有事项，加速住房、清洁能源和基础设施的发展。
尽管建筑行业规模达到 1.6 万亿美元，但仍面临严重的延误、浪费的资金和错失的机会。PermitFlow 已经为超过 200 亿美元的开发项目带来了前所未有的速度、准确性和可见性，帮助承包商减少合规时间、降低项目风险，并自信地扩大规模。
随着美国进入数据中心、工厂、住房和可再生能源领域的新的资本支出超级周期，加入 PermitFlow 意味着构建每个推动下一轮再工业化建设项目的建筑核心 AI 基础设施。
我们已经筹集了超过 9000 万美元，最近完成了 B 轮融资，https://www.permitflow.com/blog/permitflow-series-b，投资方包括顶级机构 Accel、Kleiner Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7401703305569275904/、Initialized、Y Combinator、Felicis 和 Altos Ventures，同时还有来自 OpenAI、Google、Procore、ServiceTitan、Zillow、PlanGrid 和 Uber 的领导支持。
构建建筑的 AI 基础设施
- 建筑仍然是最大的现实世界系统之一，仍然依赖于碎片化、人工的基础设施。
- 美国每个项目都要经过分布在约 20,000 个司法管辖区的许可和施工前流程 - 每个地区都有不一致的规则、系统和数字化程度。
- 这导致了物理经济中最大的瓶颈，延迟住房与基础设施项目，每年造成数十亿美元的时间和资金损失。
- PermitFlow 正从零开始重建这一层 - 使用现代软件和 AI 系统实现许可的端到端自动化。
- 我们仍处于早期阶段，核心系统正在积极定义中。
- 这是工程决策直接塑造新兴类别的罕见时刻之一。
职位概览
- 我们正在寻找一名工程经理，带领并扩展一支高效运作的工程团队，打造 PermitFlow 的核心基础设施。
- 这是一个以建造者为导向的领导角色。你将负责人员管理

PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how. Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.
Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.
As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.
We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, https://www.permitflow.com/blog/permitflow-series-b from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7401703305569275904/, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.
BUILDING THE AI INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CONSTRUCTION
- Construction remains one of the largest real-world systems still operating on fragmented, manual infrastructure.
- Every project in the U.S. moves through permitting and pre-construction workflows spread across ~20,000 jurisdictions - each with inconsistent rules, systems, and levels of digitization.
- This creates one of the largest bottlenecks in the physical economy, delaying housing and infrastructure projects and costing billions in lost time and capital every year.
- PermitFlow is rebuilding this layer from the ground up - using modern software and AI systems to automate permitting end-to-end.
- We are still early, and the core systems are actively being defined.
- This is one of those rare moments where engineering decisions directly shape an emerging category.
ROLE OVERVIEW
- We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and scale a high-performing engineering team building the core infrastructure behind PermitFlow.
- This is a builder-leader role. You will own both people leadership and technical execution in a fast-moving environment where systems are complex, ambiguous, and deeply connected to real-world outcomes.
- You will report directly to our VP of Engineering. Our VP strongly values hands-on technical leadership - the best-fit EMs here are deeply technical, strong communicators, and comfortable staying close to architecture, system design, and the codebase to make high-quality technical decisions.
- You will be expected to drive your own roadmap end-to-end from technical direction and execution planning through delivery and customer impact - ensuring what your team builds consistently performs in production and delivers real value to users.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You will operate across systems, people, and execution at scale:
- Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team, raising the bar for ownership, quality, and execution speed
- Build strong engineering culture through clear expectations, 1:1s, feedback loops, and career development
- Define technical direction across architecture, scalability, reliability, and long-term system evolution
- Own roadmap planning and execution from definition through delivery and customer impact
- Partner closely with product, design, and leadership to translate ambiguous real-world problems into scalable systems
- Drive delivery of critical infrastructure used across thousands of jurisdictions
- Improve system reliability, observability, performance, and engineering efficiency
- Play a key role in hiring and developing engineers and future leaders
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for strong technical leaders who thrive in high-ownership, high-ambiguity environments.
- 5+ years in software engineering, including 1+ year in engineering leadership
- Experience building and scaling engineering teams in startup or high-growth environments
- Strong system design and architecture fundamentals (scalable web or distributed systems)
- Ability to lead through ambiguity and turn unclear problems into structured execution
- Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- High standards for engineering quality, reliability, and performance
- Deep technical fluency - comfortable engaging with code review, architecture, and tradeoffs
- Bonus: experience in workflow-heavy, enterprise SaaS, or infrastructure products
- Bonus: exposure to complex regulated environments (construction, logistics, government systems, etc.)
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
This is not a maintenance role - it is a systems-building role at the foundation of a category being created in real time.
PermitFlow sits at the intersection of:
- fragmented real-world regulatory infrastructure
- high-friction physical economy workflows
- emerging AI systems capable of automating end-to-end complexity
The systems built here directly impact how quickly housing and infrastructure projects move from idea to execution.
This role offers rare leverage: your decisions will shape both the engineering organization and the core product surface area at an early but rapidly scaling company.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company
- 100% company-paid base medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees + healthcare FSA
- 401(k) savings plan
- Unlimited PTO and paid family leave
- Home office & equipment stipend
- Daily in-office lunch and dinner provided
- Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking)
If you want to build complex systems connecting software to real-world infrastructure and help define a category from the ground up, we’d love to talk.
