AI Engineer - Platform

About Build

AI for the Built World: Build has created the agentic AI stack for institutional real estate, automating complex development and acquisitions workflows 90% faster than humans to accelerate the world's most important built projects - digital infrastructure, energy, industrial - from concept to completion.

Our mission is to accelerate and amplify the world's most important built projects - inventing a better way to build through a collaboration between human experts and agentic AI. We envision a future where the world's buildings are driven from concept to completion, autonomously. Without delays, cost, and complexity. Enabling people to deliver a magnitude more deals. To make decisions, build relationships and create.

To start, we're partnering with the world's biggest built world institutions from $T alternative assets investors, prolific developers and even governments to push the frontier of what's possible. We're backed by c-suite from Blackstone and OpenAI alongside the world's best venture capital firms.

Join us in shaping the future of the Built World and exponentially accelerate your career in the process. We welcome you to do your life's work here.

About the role

Build is building an autonomous factory for knowledge work. The platform is the factory floor: where experts run work, where workflows are created and managed, where Build is accessed by the outside world, and where the organisation itself runs.

This role owns the experience of that platform. Not the data layer underneath it. The surface that people actually use.

That means the workflow builder that lets domain experts create and configure workflows without engineering. The interfaces through which clients and internal teams drive work output. The gateway that makes Build accessible via email, Slack, and API. The automation that runs the organisation itself. The speed and quality of every surface the team and the world touches.

Build's internal operations are a product too. How the team coordinates, how work is routed, how progress is visible, how feedback loops close. You own that as much as the customer-facing surfaces.

What you will own

• The workflow builder: domain experts should be able to create, edit, and test workflows without engineering involvement
• The platform surfaces that drive work output for the internal delivery team
• The gateways through which Build is accessed externally: email, Slack, API
• Build's internal automation: the organisation running as a product
• The speed, reliability, and quality of everything above

How to win at Build

Growing Build requires a radically different approach to company building. As a company we're focused on one outcome: winning. That means we move fast, work with intensity, and demand excellence from ourselves. We operate with intensity but create an environment that allows for a lot of fun together. The result is that we're one of the fastest shipping teams in vertical AI, partnering with the best to automate the world around us.

Performance and teamwork are the core of Build's operation. We look for those who are able to do both, who often exhibit a particular ability for;

• Velocity: You are relentless in asking the right questions to set direction. Once you find the right direction you go all-in.

• Excellence: You obsess with being the best. For you, excellence is a non-negotiable standard rather than an aspiration.

• Long time horizons: You choose to be in something for the long run, because that's where most of the returns are realized.

• Ownership: You take full ownership of the outcomes. You're meticulous in your pursuits and believe you can actively shape your environment rather than adapt to it.

• Customers: You have a passion for the built world and those who shape it. You probably have a quirky hobby or story that relates to your love for building.

• Integrity: You chose to do the right thing even when it isn't easy.

• Trust: You only work with people you can trust because it's the only way to do truly extraordinary things.

• Yield: You have a burning need to see a result on every action you take and you're always looking for routes to do more with less.

What we offer

• Radical autonomy, real ownership: High standards. Minimal bureaucracy. You own problems end-to-end, choose how the work gets done, and are accountable for exceptional outcomes. Ownership is matched with meaningful, generous equity.

• An accelerated founder's track: Build is for builders. If you want to learn what it actually takes to create a generational company - Product judgment, execution speed, and accountability - there is no faster path than building from zero when everything is for grabs.

• Elite teammates, uncompromising bar: You work with people who think clearly, execute relentlessly, and take full ownership. The team you build becomes the company you build. Growth here is not just professional; it reshapes how you operate and in return how Build operates.

• Perpetual adventure: We attract the strongest of the strange. Extraordinary experiences are part of the culture - from the food we eat together to the space we occupy. Intensity is intentional.

• Shape the built world: We are rebuilding how the physical world gets made. Our software doesn't live in the abstract - it turns into real projects breaking ground because we exist. We work with the largest institutions, push the frontier of AI, and watch our decisions translate directly into the world around us.
