Job Title: Head of Engineering
Salary: $225K–$325K + 0.75%–1.6% Equity
Company Description: BUILD, Inc. - Seed-stage AI startup backed by Index Ventures, OpenAI, and Blackstone.
Job Description:As Head of Engineering, you will lead the technical execution of an agentic AI platform automating institutional real estate workflows. You will own the architecture end-to-end, scale a high-output engineering team, and translate complex domain logic into production-grade software. This is a hands-on leadership role for a builder ready to define a $300T+ asset class.
Location: San Francisco & New York City, USA

Direct access to elite mentorship and backing from industry titans including OpenAI and Blackstone leaders.
Significant equity stake (up to 1.6%) in a company already generating seven-figure revenue with a trillion-dollar market opportunity.
Rare opportunity to lead the technical ""zero-to-one"" journey, moving from a scrappy founding team to a scaled institutional platform.
What you will do:
Architect and scale a robust agentic AI stack capable of processing complex real estate data 90% faster than human analysts.
Recruit and lead a world-class engineering team, setting a high bar for technical excellence, ownership, and shipping velocity.
Partner with the CEO and CTO to make critical build-vs-buy decisions and define the long-term technical roadmap.
The ideal candidate:
Proven experience scaling early-stage vertical AI or LLM-based systems (e.g., Harvey, Sierra, or Glean) through major growth phases.
Deep technical proficiency with the ability to navigate high-level architecture while remaining hands-on enough to debug production code.
Strong background in B2B enterprise software, understanding the reliability and security requirements of institutional financial clients.
