Senior AI Engineer I

The future is bright for the Porch Group, and we’d love for you to be a part of it as our Senior AI Engineer I .

We are building an AI layer that reads professional inspection reports — produced in a dozen incompatible formats by a dozen different vendor tools — and turns them into structured, actionable data for the people who have to act on them, without ever altering the inspector’s original wording. This is a founding AI engineering role: you will own the extraction pipeline end to end, from ingestion and parsing through model selection, evaluation, confidence thresholds, and the human review loop. You will work directly with a domain expert to define what “correct” means, and you will be the person accountable for knowing whether the system is getting better or worse. This is a production engineering role, not a research role — success is measured in recall on real documents, not in novel methods. If you want to build the foundational AI infrastructure for a category-defining product and see your work ship straight into production, this is that role.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred)

5+ years of hands-on with Software Engineer and ML/AI systems

Experience designing evaluation harnesses and working with precision/recall or similar quality metrics for ML systems

Experience building or partnering closely on human-in-the-loop review workflows
