• Startup or founder experience, and fluency in English.

• Experience leading engineers or making architecture decisions is valuable.

• AEC or BIM experience, including IFC, Revit API, or Rhino/Grasshopper, is valuable, as is experience with Python, PyTorch, TypeScript, three.js, or generative and multimodal models for 3D or visual data.
