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, handling everything from jurisdiction research to application preparation, submission, and real-time tracking. By turning fragmented regulations and workflows into structured, intelligent systems, we help contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

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

We are a team of architects, engineers, permitting experts, and product builders who know the pain of pre-construction firsthand and are committed to solving it. Demand is growing faster than we can keep up, and we're looking for top talent to help us scale.

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.
