Role overview
SEKTOR is an AI-driven transformation platform for the construction and broader built-environment industries that deploys autonomous “transformation agents” to map how organisations actually work, uncovering and orchestrating the complex processes buried in legacy systems and habitual workflows.[24] Its AI agents automatically map operational processes across an enterprise, then help source, deploy and operate best-of-class technology solutions for heavy industries without traditional change-management overhead.[2][10][24] By focusing on progress monitoring, reality capture, BIM-based logistics planning, and other construction-specific technologies, SEKTOR supports large infrastructure and construction firms in scaling AI and digital tools across their organisations.[2][10][19][24] The company positions itself as a business transformation and autonomous technology deployment platform, aimed at accelerating adoption of enterprise AI technologies in real estate and construction while improving efficiency and sustainability outcomes.[2][10][13][15][19][24]
What you will do
- Directly interface with engineering enterprises to decompose ambiguous operational bottlenecks into scalable technical architectures for AI agents.
- Build and ship production-grade agentic workflows using TypeScript, LLMs, and advanced tool-use frameworks that automate complex administrative and technical tasks.
- Lead the continuous iteration and evaluation of deployed agents, ensuring high reliability and measurable impact on customer business performance.
Who this is a fit for
- Has 5-12 years of professional experience, ideally with a background as a Forward Deployed Engineer at top-tier AI companies like Palantir, OpenAI, or Anthropic.
- Demonstrates deep hands-on expertise in AI engineering, specifically building autonomous agents, agentic workflows, RAG systems, and comprehensive evaluation frameworks.
- Combines full-stack capability (ideally TypeScript) with strong product instincts and the high agency required to lead projects independently from concept to production.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a high-growth startup already serving industry giants like AECOM and Ferrovial, moving traditional consultancy to automated, agentic operations.
- Enjoy true end-to-end ownership, from scoping ambiguous customer challenges to deploying production-ready AI agents that integrate directly into enterprise workflows.
- Work at the cutting edge of agentic AI, utilizing MCP, tool use, and RAG in a role that prioritizes shipping over pure research.
