About the role

View original

We're building AI agents that design building-systems (fire, HVAC, plumbing, security) instantly and code-compliantly.

The $600B building-system integration industry still runs on spreadsheets and manual drawings, even as building codes rapidly evolve and become more localized. It’s a massive blind spot for the tech world.

We are transforming building-system design from a months-long, error-prone process into an instant, automated workflow. Semble AI is becoming the industry standard for top quality commercial building design.

What you’ll work on

  • As a founding engineer, you’ll work directly with the founders to own and build systems such as:

  • Vision pipelines that segment rooms, walls, and architectural elements from noisy PDFs/CAD files

  • LLM + RAG workflows that interpret building codes and produce compliant designs

  • Full-stack features across our React/Node/Postgres platform

  • You’ll have massive ownership and help set the technical direction of a company in a market that’s about to undergo a once-in-a-generation transition.

  • Our tech

  • Typescript / React / Node / Express / PostgreSQL

  • Python (PyTorch, NumPy, etc.)

  • Vision models : object detection, instance + semantic segmentation

  • AI Agents: multi-agent reasoning, workflow orchestration, MCP

  • RAG pipelines : vector DBs, embeddings, chunking strategies

You might be a great fit if you

Have strong experience in ML (vision AND LLMs), backend, building AI agents, and full-stack engineering

Thrive in fast-moving environments and love shipping end-to-end

Care about building reliable, production-grade AI systems

Want to be early at a YC startup where your work directly defines the company’s trajectory

Why join us

You’ll work directly with the founding team (YC F25)

Ship real AI systems into production for companies across the U.S.

Own major pieces of the product and architecture

Help shape the engineering culture from day zero

Build something that will become the industry standard for top quality commercial building design
