    About this role

    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 being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity.

    PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.Why PermitFlow Wants YouOur Commercial segment is the highest-permitting-pain, highest upside vertical in our business.

    This is a distinct, multi-stakeholder enterprise sale, not a variation of our existing playbooks.We're already the clear leader in this space. It's a rare, wide-open opportunity to build the category-defining sales engine for Commercial — an
