YOU
You want to be an important member of a strong team of other makers who take pride in their work and support each other. As a Senior Backend Developer, you will join the AI-Powered Takeoff Team in Vietnam, collaborating closely with U.S. stakeholders and coordinating with external vendors to build an AI-driven product that transforms technical drawings (PDFs, CAD files, and blueprints) into actionable data, directly improving product performance and business efficiency. That’s year one. If career growth is important to you, we not only know how to help you with that, it’s what we love to do: https://youtu.be/PUqzuWryYcU
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AI-Powered Takeoff is an intelligent construction TakeOff platform designed to automate material quantity takeoffs from architectural and engineering drawings. By leveraging computer vision, machine learning, and the system extracts, measures, and categorizes building components directly from digital blueprints PDF, significantly reducing manual effort, errors, and turnaround time.
The objective of AI-Powered Takeoff is to:
- Automate quantity detection from drawings
- Assist with measurements (length, area, count, volume)
- Organize extracted quantities in structured formats
- Support revision comparison
- Reduce manual tracing effort
