Senior Computer Vision / Applied AI Engineer - Construction Plans

KonstructIQ is modernizing residential construction with an AI-centered system for estimating, project management, finances, and money movement. The Senior Computer Vision / Applied AI Engineer will improve systems that read construction plans, detect and measure plan elements, and generate reliable takeoffs. The role owns the full pipeline from document ingestion and multimodal processing through validation, evaluation, and production improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Build and improve computer vision and multimodal AI systems that detect, classify, segment, and measure plan elements - walls, rooms, doors, windows, fixtures, finishes, and symbols - extracting counts, dimensions, and areas
• Improve scale detection and geometric reasoning across drawings of varying scale, orientation, resolution, and format, combining vector PDF data, raster imagery, OCR, and multimodal foundation models
• Decide when to use traditional CV, specialized models, multimodal LLMs, deterministic algorithms, or hybrid approaches, and build structured, production-ready outputs from foundation models
• Build deterministic post-processing and validation systems - including confidence scoring - that turn probabilistic model outputs into stable, explainable takeoffs and flag ambiguous results instead of silently guessing
• Build evaluation frameworks and datasets (labeling strategies, estimator feedback loops) that measure detection accuracy, measurement variance, and end-to-end takeoff quality, and turn production failures into new test cases and model improvements
• Build visual overlays and debugging tools that make it easy to see what the system detected, measured, and missed
• Partner with construction estimators, product, and engineering to translate real-world estimating workflows into technical solutions, and evaluate new CV/multimodal models where they materially improve accuracy or simplify the system
