Job Description

Position Overview

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 a $1.6T industry burdened by delays and wasted capital, PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development. As America enters a CAPEX super-cycle, joining PermitFlow means building the AI core powering the next wave of re-industrialization. Our headquarters is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week), and we welcome candidates who are NYC-based or open to relocation.

  • Document best practices and repeatable playbooks to make future onboarding faster and more consistent

  • Startup mindset – scrappy, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by building new processes
