At Palcode.ai, We're on a mission to fix the massive inefficiencies in pre-construction. Think about it - in a $10 trillion industry, estimators still spend weeks analyzing bids, project managers struggle with scattered data, and costly mistakes slip through complex contracts. We're fixing this with purpose-built AI agents that work. Our platform can do “magic” to Preconstruction workflows from Weeks to Hours. It's not just about AI – it's about bringing real, measurable impact to an industry ready for change. We are backed by names like AWS for Startups, Upekkha Accelerator, and Microsoft for Startups.

High-Impact Code: Your code won't sit in a backlog – it goes straight to estimators and project managers who need it yesterday

Tech Challenges That Matter: Design systems that process thousands of construction documents, handle real-time pricing data, and make intelligent decisions

Build & Own: Shape our entire tech stack, from data processing pipelines to AI model deployment

Quick Impact: Small team, huge responsibility. Your solutions directly impact project decisions worth millions

Learn & Grow: Master the intersection of AI, cloud architecture, and construction tech while working with founders who've built and scaled construction software

Your Role:

• Design and build our core AI services and APIs using Python
• Create reliable, scalable backend systems that handle complex data
• Help set up cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines
• Collaborate with our AI team to integrate machine learning models
