Position Overview
Join the team building computer vision applications for the construction trades.
Contractors spend dozens of hours per project doing takeoffs by hand. We're automating that — with models that need to perform reliably on messy, real-world drawings.
You'll have a lot of autonomy to design, execute, and iterate. We move quickly, and you'll build deep expertise in the models you ship. We're looking for strong CV/ML engineers with good product judgment who are comfortable both designing solutions and doing the hands-on work to ship them.
Responsibilities
Build strong CV models: detection, segmentation, OCR, reasoning over construction drawings. Accuracy matters — mistakes can cost a customer real money.
Own end-to-end pipelines: data ingestion, labeling, training, eval, and low-latency inference.
Improve performance across accuracy, robustness, and latency as we handle a wide range of drawing formats.
Ship to production — work closely with fullstack and product to get models into features customers use daily.
Dig into real customer data to find and fix failure modes.
Stay current with the field and apply what's useful quickly.
Desired Attributes
High ownership — you take responsibility for model performance without needing to be told what to fix
Strong CV + deep learning background — you've trained and shipped models (segmentation, detection, document AI, or vision-language)
Experience putting ML into production with real reliability requirements
Comfortable with messy, real-world data — scanned, handwritten, imperfect
Practical mindset — you read the research, but your focus is on shipping working code
Comfortable in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
A note on pace
We ship weekly, and priorities move as we learn from customers. Requirements are often incomplete when work starts, and you'll be expected to shape them. If that pace excites you, you'll fit in well.

Bobyard Insights
What We Do
Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point. Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes.
