About Pelles
Pelles transforms trade contractors' knowledge, documents, and workflows into AI-powered systems — so projects run the way their best people would. We're building agents that read drawings, ground claims in spec paragraphs, and orchestrate real workflows across Procore, Autodesk, and the project document library.
Key Responsibilities
Design and ship agent architectures that solve real construction workflows: RFI drafting, submittal compliance, schedule Q&A, pay-app validation
Build evaluation pipelines and domain-specific test sets from real customer projects
Push the boundaries of long-context retrieval and multi-document grounding
Work directly with customers — superintendents, estimators, project managers — to validate and refine
Own a workflow end-to-end, from research idea to production rollout
Requirements
Strong background in modern ML — LLMs, retrieval, agent systems
Experience shipping AI to production, not just notebooks
Comfort with messy, document-heavy domains
A real interest in evaluation as a discipline, not an afterthought
Bonus
Published work on agents, retrieval, or evaluation
Experience with vision-language models on document or technical-drawing data
Construction or AEC industry exposure
What we offer
Equity in an early-stage AI company at the start of its scale-up
Work on problems that show up on real jobsites the next day
Small team, high agency, no management ladder
