Who we are

Belidor is building the AI decision‑making engine for U.S. preconstruction, starting with a painful workflow every general contractor faces: bid leveling. We help select the right subcontractors for any project 100× faster, while fitting seamlessly into the tools construction firms already use.

• Founders with deep AI + B2B track records: ex-Deepmind AI product/ B2B GTM experience (scaled B2B from $0 → $10M ARR) and ex‑BCG X Lead Data Scientist (built production AI for industry leaders)
• Raised $3.1M in venture capital to accelerate product development and hiring
• Multiple design partners with live pilots and data‑sharing agreements; strong US pipeline and active onsite sessions with construction firms.

Our mission

Our ability to design and construct is a fundamental lever of civilization's progress. How fast society can build determines its growth potential and resilience. That’s why our mission at Belidor is to accelerate the rate of construction and design 100x by creating the user-friendly intelligence layer for the built world.

For now, we focus on preconstruction: Transforming messy docs into data that is easy to read, analyze and understand to compound learning from past projects so preconstruction teams bid faster and win more.

About the role

• As a Founding AI Engineer, you will develop and evolve Belidor’s AI core. Building systems that can parse, reason, and learn from complex construction data.
• You’ll work with unstructured and domain-specific data (Plans, bids, and spec sheets) to build pipelines, agents, and models that can **parse documents**, **interpret ambiguous scopes, and highlight discrepancies in real time.
• You’ll design and implement robust validation pipelines as well as ensure explainability, traceability, and reliability of AI outputs.
• Because we’re still early, you’ll shape the entire AI stack and set engineering standards for scalability, security, and experimentation velocity.
• You’ll work hand-in-hand with founders and customers to co-design features that solve real field problems, then productize them so every project makes the next one faster.

What We're Looking For

• Paris‑based (or ready to relocate, we will help). You like the speed and focus of building together in person.
• Experience in successfully building and shipping LLM-powered products: structured extraction, RAG, agents, and evaluation pipelines.
• Value-creation mindset: you care about delivering measurable user impact (time saved, accuracy, fewer misses) and have the empathy to observe how customers work, iterate quickly.

Why join us

• Speed: ship to real general contractors; your code is in production quickly.
• Paris ↔ US: Technical team in Paris, deployed to our customers in the US
• Big tech vision for construction: compounding AI memory toward an intelligence layer for preconstruction and bridging with physical AI in a $12T industry
• Ownership, a competitive salary and meaningful equity

Interview process

We move quickly. Typical flow:

1. Founders chat (2 x 30 min)
2. Technical working session (90 min on site, build/reason through a real problem)
