About the role

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.

Compensation & Benefits

Equity is offered. Visa sponsorship is not available; candidates must already be authorized to work in the EU, UK, or Switzerland.

Location

Remote within Europe, including the UK and Switzerland. The primary location is Karlsruhe, Germany.
