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.


What you will Build

This role exists to take Build’s AI capabilities into the field and make them work against real customer constraints. You own the gap between what is technically possible and what actually delivers value in production. This is a deployment-first role. Success is measured by adoption, outcomes, and reuse, not prototypes or demos.

You can expect to:

  • Work directly with customer stakeholders to understand workflows, define requirements, and set explicit success criteria.

  • Translate ambiguous customer problems into scoped, shippable solutions.

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI agents using Python, LangGraph, and emerging AI frameworks.

  • Lead live pilots, gather field feedback, and iterate rapidly until measurable value is achieved.

  • Execute full-stack development to tailor experiences to real customer use cases.

  • Build data collection and automation pipelines using web scraping, browser agents, and voice agents to enable end-to-end workflows.

  • Own deployments end to end, from initial build through production reliability and adoption.

  • Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Capture deployment learnings and convert them into reusable patterns, playbooks, and product input.

  • Operate as a true generalist, moving fluidly between agent behavior, data workflows, infrastructure, and platform concerns.

  • Help define engineering culture by setting a bias toward shipping, learning, and real-world impact.

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.
