Staff Applied Research Scientist (Datagrid)
About the role
We’re looking for a Staff Applied Research Scientist to join Procore’s AI & Frontier Models organization. In this role, you’ll act as the hands‑on technical leader for applied machine learning systems that extract spatial intelligence from construction drawings, BIM, and project data. The primary goal of this role is to design and deliver reliable, scalable ML systems that reduce design risk, improve constructability, and expand the range of spatial problems Procore teams can solve. As a Staff Applied Research Scientist, you’ll partner with ML engineers, software engineers, product managers, and construction domain experts to lead day‑to‑day technical execution for spatial intelligence initiatives. Use your expertise in applied machine learning, software architecture, and system design to translate complex, ambiguous problems into high‑quality production systems. This is an opportunity to remain deeply hands‑on while shaping technical direction and raising the engineering bar for the team—join us and help define how spatial intelligence shows up in real construction workflows.
Responsibilities
- Act as the day‑to‑day technical lead for applied ML projects within the Frontier Models & Spatial Intelligence team.
- Design, implement, and iterate on machine learning systems that analyze 2D drawings and BIM data to detect clashes, inconsistencies, and constructability risks.
- Lead hands‑on development of model training
