人工智能产品经理 (资深/首席)
Product Manager, AI (Staff/Principal)
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：了解哪些可以建设、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，加速全国范围内的住房、清洁能源和基础设施发展。
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、资本浪费和机会损失。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新一轮再工业化建设项目的建筑核心 AI 基础设施。
我们已筹集超过 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 OpenAI、Google、Procore、ServiceTitan、Zillow、PlanGrid 和 Uber 的领导支持。
构建建筑行业的 AI 基础设施
- 建筑是世界上最大的行业之一，也是最分散的运营行业之一。
- 在任何东西开始建造之前，项目必须通过许可和前期施工流程，这些流程分布在约 2 万个司法管辖区，每个地方都有不同的规则、系统和流程。
- 结果是，这成为全国住房与基础设施发展的巨大瓶颈。
- PermitFlow 正从零开始重建这一层，使用现代软件和 AI 系统来实现许可的端到端自动化和协调。
- 我们仍处于早期阶段。产品覆盖面正在迅速扩展，工作流程非常复杂，塑造该行业运作方式的机会巨大。
- 这是少数几个产品决策直接影响现实世界建设方式的时刻之一。
地点
- 我们的总部位于纽约市，采用混合办公模式（周一、周三和周五在办公室）。我们更倾向于纽约市本地候选人或愿意搬迁的人选。

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 is one of the largest industries in the world - and one of the most operationally fragmented.
- Before anything gets built, projects must move through permitting and pre-construction workflows spread across ~20,000 jurisdictions, each with different rules, systems, and processes.
- The result is a massive bottleneck slowing down housing and infrastructure across the country.
- PermitFlow is rebuilding this layer from the ground up - using modern software and AI systems to automate and orchestrate permitting end-to-end.
- We are still early. The product surface area is expanding rapidly, the workflows are deeply complex, and the opportunity to shape how this industry operates is enormous.
- This is one of those rare moments where product decisions directly influence how the physical world gets built.
LOCATION
- Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (Monday, Wednesday and Friday in-office). We prefer NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.
ROLE OVERVIEW
- We're hiring a Product Manager, AI to own PermitFlow's core AI infrastructure and workflow agents. This is a role that will require UX and technical acumen to deliver high quality agents in a genuinely complex domain, while also up-leveling our core agentic infrastructure and data flywheel.
- Submitting a permit means comprehending construction documents, extracting project details, confirming every requirement has been met and often filling in pdf forms. Errors compound across steps and a failed submission adds real cost for our customers as projects slow.
- In this context, you will be asked to deeply familiarize yourself with PermitFlow’s users, customers and use-cases, so you can develop a blended strategy, supporting single-shot full automation where possible and utilizing human-in-the-loop patterns where human judgment is still required. This is not an incremental role, we are looking for someone who can have a major impact in how fast construction gets done in America, Canada and beyond.
- The ideal candidate will mix an exceptional history of product delivery with true experience building AI and Agentic infrastructure from the ground up. You ship quickly, instrument everything, hold a high quality bar, and stay close to the users of what you build.
- This role reports directly to our Head of Product. We're hiring at Staff or Principal, with the level based on past experience and interview performance.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You will operate across agent design, evaluation, and operational execution:
- Deliver our core set of workflow agents for permitting, enabling rapid comprehension of construction projects and accurate compliance submissions for permits and inspections
- Define what "reliable enough to submit" means at both the field and submission level, and own the quality bar that gates release
- Own our path to full automation, segmenting use cases and driving to single-shot submission where accuracy allows
- Design the architecture for assistive use cases, building the agents and tools that empower permit coordinators to move faster where humans-in-the-loop is the best solution
- Work with our operations org to build an evaluation and data flywheel through early testing, golden data set generation, and structured error analysis ahead of submission
- Build a durable design system around our data flywheel, ensuring that users can easily provide feedback on our Agents & AI products
- Build the internal toolset for testing, error analysis, and hill climbing that every team at PermitFlow uses to ship agentic work
- Serve as the internal applied AI expert for teams coming from more traditional software backgrounds
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for product leaders who have shipped AI into production in domains where accuracy carries real-world consequences.
- 7+ years of product management experience, or an equivalent track record in forward deployed engineering, applied research, or operations leadership
- Direct ownership of the quality bar for a shipped AI/Agentic system
- Hands-on experience building evaluations, including experience with golden data sets, LLM-as-judge, human annotation, and online monitoring
- Judgment on when to build an agent and when a simpler product or process change delivers more
- Deep technical fluency and comfortable engaging engineering on technical concepts
- Track record of partnering closely with operations teams and translating operational insight into product
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and create clarity for cross-functional teams
- High sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability
- Track record of high quality delivery and increased scope across multiple roles
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)
CLOSING
If you’re excited by the opportunity to build AI-powered products that simplify complex real-world workflows - and want to help define a category from the ground up - we’d love to talk.
