MeltPlan develops an AI-powered planning engine that helps construction stakeholders optimize code compliance, cost, and scheduling decisions during pre-construction.
<p>MeltPlan is building the “planning engine” for the $14 Tn construction industry, an AI system designed specifically to optimize decisions before construction begins. While design software optimizes use and aesthetics and construction software optimizes execution and control, MeltPlan is building the missing layer - software that optimizes decisions and tradeoffs upstream, before scope is locked, procurement begins, and change orders become inevitable. MeltPlan’s long-term goal is to help teams make construction “boring” by making planning more intense: surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, aligning stakeholders before plans are frozen, and reducing the need for late-stage redlines, rework, and change orders.</p> <p>MeltPlan is founded by operators who have built at scale. Kanav previously co-founded Innovaccer, a $3Bn healthtech company focused on making US healthcare more affordable and accessible. He’s now applying that systems-level thinking to construction.He’s joined by Tanmaya Kala, former Project Executive at DPR Construction, who led large commercial, healthcare, and life sciences projects. We combine deep tech scale with real construction execution.</p> <h3 data-section-id="mnwnmf" data-start="196" data-end="218"><strong data-start="200" data-end="216">What This Role Really is :</strong></h3> <p class="isSelectedEnd">We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically strong AI QA Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of Large Language Model (LLM)-based systems.
