Software Engineer, Intern/Co-op

Provision

Provision is automating construction. We help contractors speed up their work, reduce risk, and eliminate errors that cost the industry more than $500B every year. Our mission is to make construction more profitable, so society can build more. We are building the most ambitious vision of what is possible with AI in construction.

Provision is a YC-backed late Seed stage company with over 10M in recent funding from some of the world's best investors and operators in the construction technology space, including YCombinator, Sequoia Capital (via their scout program), DroneDeploy, PlanGrid (acquired by Autodesk), and Cercano (Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen’s fund), formerly known as Vulcan Capital (investors in Uber, Alibaba and Spotify).

We’re looking for driven, ambitious students who want to learn by doing. Our engineering team works across the web application stack, and develops novel workflows on our own platform using both AI APIs and our own custom trained models.
