Research Engineer 2

About Attentive.ai Attentive.ai is transforming the field services and construction industries with our flagship AI solutionBeam AI. Our platform empowers businesses to double their bidding capacity and accelerate growth through automation and intelligent insights. Over 900 businesses across the U.S. and Canada already use our products to boost sales velocity and streamline operations. Backed by Insight Partners, Peak XV (Surge), InfoEdge, Tenacity and Vertex Ventures, were on a mission to make advanced AI tools accessible, practical, and impactful in the real world. Position Description As a Research Engineer-II, you will be an integral part of our AI research team focused on transforming the construction industry through cuttingedge deep learning, computer vision, and NLP technologies. You will contribute to the development of intelligent systems for automated construction takeoff and estimation by working with unstructured data such as blueprints, drawings (including SVGs), and PDF documents. In this role, you will support the endtoend lifecycle of AIbased solutionsfrom prototyping and experimentation to deployment in production. Your contributions will directly impact the scalability, accuracy, and efficiency of our products. Roles & Responsibilities Contribute to research and development initiatives focused on Computer Vision, Image Processing, and Deep Learning applied to constructionrelated data. Build and optimize models for extracting insights from documents such as blueprints, scanned PDFs, and SVG files. Contribute to the development of multimodal models that integrate vision with languagebased features (NLP/LLMs). Follow best data science and machine learning practices, including datacentric development, experiment tracking, model validation, and reproducibility. Collaborate with crossfunctional teamsincluding software engineers, ML researchers, and product teamsto convert research ideas into realworld applications. Write clean, scalable, and productionready code using Python and frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or HuggingFace. Stay updated with the latest research in computer vision and machine learning and evaluate applicability to construction industry challenges. Skills & Requirements 35 years of experience in applied AI/ML and research with a strong focus on Computer Vision and Deep Learning. Solid understanding of image processing, visual document understanding, and feature extraction from visual data. Familiarity with SVG graphics, NLP, or LLMbased architectures is a plus. Deep understanding of unsupervised learning techniques like clustering, dimensionality reduction, and representation learning. Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, OpenCV, TensorFlow, and HuggingFace Transformers. Handson experience with model optimization techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation). Good to have. Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git), project tracking tools (e.g., JIRA), and cloud environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure). Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized ML deployment pipelines. Strong analytical and problemsolving skills with a passion for building innovative solutions; ability to rapidly prototype and iterate. Comfortable working in a fastpaced, agile, startuplike environment with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
