You'll work directly with our engineering, product, and GTM teams, telling us where our AI falls short, what would actually change how you operate, and what it would take for a tool like this to earn a place in your workflow. You will QA and correct AI-generated outputs — fixing mislabeled data and grading agent performance — and help us understand how permit reviewers interpret and apply permitting requirements.
