About the role
PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how . Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.
Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.
As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.
We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins , Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.
Building the AI Infrastructure for Construction
Construction remains one of the largest real-world systems still operating on fragmented, manual infrastructure.
Every project in the U.S. moves through permitting and pre-construction workflows spread across ~20,000 jurisdictions, each with inconsistent rules, systems, and levels of digitization.
This creates one of the largest bottlenecks in the physical economy, delaying housing and infrastructure projects and costing billions in lost time and capital every year.
PermitFlow is rebuilding this layer from the ground up, using modern software and AI systems to automate permitting end-to-end.
Permitting is the gate every construction project's data passes through, giving us a route upstream into design, pricing, and feasibility, and downstream into procurement and scheduling, and a foundation to launch new products from.
We are still early, and the next set of products we build will define how far this category extends beyond permitting.
Role Overview
We're looking for an Engineering Manager, New Products to lead the engineering team turning our next product bets into shipped, revenue-generating systems.
This is a builder-leader role. You will own both people leadership and technical execution for products that don't exist yet, moving from hypothesis to pilot to commercial launch, often on a compressed timeline and with an incomplete spec.
You will report directly to our VP of Engineering and partner closely with our Product Lead, New Products to turn a market bet into an architecture, then into a working system a customer will pay for. Our VP strongly values hands-on technical leadership. The best-fit EMs here are comfortable making fast, defensible architecture calls with limited information, and just as comfortable running a team.
You will be expected to drive your own roadmap end-to-end from technical scoping and build-vs-buy calls through delivery and customer impact, ensuring what your team ships is fast enough to test a new market cheaply and solid enough to scale if the bet pays off.
What You’ll Do
You will operate across systems, people, and execution at scale:
Lead and grow an engineering team shipping new product lines from zero to commercial launch, raising the bar for ownership, quality, and execution speed
Build strong engineering culture through clear expectations, 1:1s, feedback loops, and career development
Partner with our Product Lead, New Products to translate an unvalidated market hypothesis into a technical architecture that can be built and tested quickly
Make fast, pragmatic build-vs-buy and scope calls that let the team test a new product cheaply before over-investing in it
Own technical execution from pilot through commercial launch, including the handoff to a durable, supportable system once a product line earns dedicated investment
Improve system reliability, observability, and engineering efficiency as a new product moves from pilot to scale
Requirements
- ·High standards for engineering quality, reliability, and performance despite compressed timelines
- ·Deep technical fluency: comfortable engaging with code review, architecture, and tradeoffs
- ·Bonus: founding engineer or early-stage startup experience where you built the first version of a product with minimal process scaffolding
- ·Bonus: exposure to complex regulated environments (construction, logistics, government systems, etc.)
- ·Why This Role Matters
Benefits
- ·Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company
- ·100% company-paid base medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees + healthcare FSA
- ·401(k) savings plan
- ·Unlimited PTO and paid family leave
- ·Home office & equipment stipend
