About the Role
Join an early-stage AI and AEC software team building a new BIM authoring tool designed for AI agents. You will help shape its geometry and data foundations, and may grow into a technical leadership role as the team develops.
What You'll Do
Build the geometry and data core of a new BIM authoring tool.
Develop AI agents that plan and edit building models.
Create generative design capabilities that account for building codes and client constraints.
Work across the stack and take ownership of the areas that matter most as the product evolves.
What We're Looking For
Production software experience. One to two years may be a fit if you have also spent years building substantial projects independently; more experience is welcome.
Hands-on experience with 3D geometry or CAD, such as geometry kernels, B-rep or mesh workflows, CAD APIs, IFC, or Revit.
Regular experience building with LLMs and AI agents, with production experience in AI or generative models.
A generalist mindset, strong ability to get productive in unfamiliar areas, and startup or founder experience.
Fluent English. German is not required.
AEC or BIM experience, technical leadership, Python, PyTorch, TypeScript, three.js, or generative and multimodal models for 3D or visual data are useful.
Compensation & Benefits
Stock options are available.
Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
Remote within Europe, including Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The primary location is Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Candidates should be based in Europe or willing to relocate there.
