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.

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.

What You’ll Do

Dive into the world of construction permitting and learn from our internal resources and team about how permitting works. Success requires our team becoming experts in construction permitting.

Identify and assess opportunities for UX and visual improvements in the PF application

Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction

Lead end-to-end design projects and work closely with our customers, engineering, and other teams to design internal and customer-facing applications

Help establish our early processes that advocate for a design-centric approach

Collaborate with the sales and marketing team to produce sales collateral and branding material as needed

Help us design a really amazing permitting product that is not only beautiful, but works and scales

What We’re Looking For

All applications must link to or include a portfolio. We’re looking for your ability to craft design solutions in relevant or related product areas and an ability to deliver high-quality design thinking and product design in a fast-paced environment

4+ years of experience designing software; we're especially looking for experience with B2B products and complex workflows but any experience building software interfaces applies.

Our team primarily uses Figma, Notion, Linear. You should be comfortable with those or similar tooling.

High tolerance for ambiguity. We are moving fast, and our design, product, and engineering processes are constantly in flux. We value team members that can roll with this messiness and contribute to discussions on how to constantly improve.

Strong communication skills. Both designers and engineers and Permitflow spend time talking to internal and external stakeholders.

Technical competence. You don’t need to know how to code (although it’s a bonus) – but we value the ability to effectively communicate designs and decisions with engineers. It’s certainly not a requirement for the job, but the product team is very collaborative and being able to understand technical implications and trade-offs is a valuable skill.

What We Offer

Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company

100% company-paid base medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees + healthcare FSA

401(k) savings plan

Unlimited PTO and paid family leave

Home office & equipment stipend

Daily in-office lunch and dinner provided

Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking)
