Sales Engineer
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.
America is entering a CAPEX super-cycle, from data centers and factories to housing and renewables, and joining PermitFlow is building the AI at the heart of every construction project powering the next wave of re-industrialization.
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.
Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). We prefer NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.
Why PermitFlow Wants You
This is a foundational GTM role that combines industry credibility with integration know-how to help customers modernize how they build. You’ll partner closely with Sales but you’re not a seller - your role is to help customers understand how PermitFlow fits into their existing systems, why it matters to their operations, and what it will take to implement successfully.
You’ll act as the connective tissue between our customers’ operational realities and our platform’s technical capabilities - ensuring every solution we propose is practical, scalable, and ready to deploy.
As PermitFlow scales, this function will become increasingly central to how we sell, scope, and implement enterprise-wide solutions - anchoring around your expertise in workflow design, integrations, and industry operations.
