Build the Future of Permitting
Join our early-stage team and use AI to change how America builds.
Open Positions
Founding ML Engineer
Planweave has cracked a research problem that's gone unsolved for over half a century: how to automatically check architectural plans comply with the building codes. The challenge is that over a hundred thousand pages of building codes and referenced standards govern architecture in America, and the complexity is a drag on permitting and a drag on designing.
We’re looking for one (1) cracked founding ML Engineer to help us push this from “works in pilots” to “changes how America builds.”
Joining us comes with risk. Our competitors have raised over a hundred million dollars; who knows what the AI bubble bursting will do to the application layer; and we are a two-person team with de minimus revenue. This opportunity is not for the faint of heart.
But what we do offer is the adventure and challenge of a lifetime. You will go deep on the cutting edge of building multimodal AI agents; you will hillclimb on computer vision evals; and you will run time-boxed experiments that are high-risk, high-reward. You will learn more than you ever thought possible about the ADA, Wildland-Urban Interfaces, and other wonky parts of the building code. Your work will directly affect the built environment of California within the first month of joining.
You will have a massive impact on the product, the company's future, and the country's. Join us.
Who you are
- Either a cracked SWE getting into ML or a cracked ML Engineer who's comfortable with SWE.
- You're mission-oriented and looking for your life's work

What you'll do
- Architect and build full-stack applications using Typescript and Python.
- Design and execute experiments to improve AI agents - you'll build and test new tools, fine-tune models, optimize prompts,and more.
- Use advanced computer vision techniques like spatial autoencoding with recurrent patches.
Our operating principles
- Internal tooling is a first-class use of time
- We can make a lot of mistakes as long as we get a few things right.
