🚀 About PermitFlow

PermitFlow is building AI agents for the $1.6T construction industry. We’re creating the leading pre-construction platform, starting with the $12B permitting market.

Our platform automates the slow, manual permitting process for builders, covering everything from jurisdiction research to application preparation, submission, and real-time tracking. By transforming fragmented regulations and manual workflows into structured, intelligent systems, we help contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

We've raised $36.5M+ with Kleiner Perkins leading our Series A, joined by Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, and Altos Ventures. Our backers include founders and executives from OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.

We are a team of architects, engineers, permitting experts, and product builders who have felt the pain of pre-construction firsthand and are committed to fixing it. Demand is growing faster than we can meet, and we’re hiring top talent to help us scale.

Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). Preference for NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.

What You’ll Do

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll join our growing infrastructure team in building, scaling, and fine-tuning the systems that keep our services running smoothly. You’ll help architect the backbone of our platform, focusing on automation, reliability, and continuous improvement. While your primary responsibility will be infrastructure, coding and problem-solving across the stack are core parts of the role. As a fast-growing startup, we all roll up our sleeves where needed, so flexibility and a collaborative spirit are key.

  • Architect, design, and implement secure, scalable, and cost-efficient infrastructure solutions to support a rapidly growing product.

  • Design and implement backend and frontend services, APIs, and data pipelines to support AI-driven workflows.

  • Own features end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to testing and production deployment.

  • Develop and maintain automation through Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Monitor, optimize, and scale our cloud infrastructure for performance and reliability.

  • Establish and enforce best practices for observability, logging, and alerting.

  • Lead and participate in incident response, troubleshooting complex issues and driving postmortem learning and improvements.

  • Collaborate across engineering teams to improve developer velocity while balancing reliability, security, and cost.

🙌 What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in Platform, Site Reliability, Infrastructure, or similar roles.

  • Strong experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes a plus).

  • Expertise with CI/CD pipelines and modern infrastructure automation tools.

  • Coding and scripting proficiency (Python, Go, Bash, etc.).

  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) and distributed systems.

  • Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and incident management best practices.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment, where adaptability and ownership are essential.

💙 Benefits
  • 📈 Equity packages

  • 💰 Competitive Salary

  • 🩺 100% Paid health, dental & vision coverage

  • 💻 Company issued laptop

  • 🍽️ Lunch & Dinner provided via UberEats w/ a fully stocked kitchen

  • 🚍 Commuter benefits

  • 🎤 Team building events

  • 🌴 Unlimited PTO

Compensation Range: $110K - $240K
