We’re working with a client building a platform at the intersection of AI and digital construction, focused on turning complex building models into structured, intelligent systems.

They are looking for a hands-on software engineer to work directly with BIM models (Revit / IFC) — extracting, processing, and integrating 3D building data into production-grade platforms.

This is not a BIM coordination or modelling role, and not a pure AI research position. It is a core engineering rolefocused on building systems around IFC and BIM data.

What you’ll be doing:

Writing production-grade Python code to process and analyse IFC and Revit datasets
Building pipelines for geometric and spatial analysis of 3D models
Developing APIs and backend services that integrate BIM data into wider systems
Working with structured building data across architecture, structural, and MEP domains
Contributing to systems that connect BIM data into AI-driven workflows
Collaborating with engineering teams to deliver features into production environments

Must have (non-negotiable):

Strong Python software engineering experience
Direct, hands-on experience working with:

IFC data, or
BIM datasets / Revit models

Experience handling 3D geometry or spatial data
Proven ability to build production-grade systems (not just scripts or academic work)

Important qualifier:

We are prioritising candidates who have worked on IFC or BIM data at code level — not just through tools

Nice to have:

Experience with libraries such as:

ifcopenshell
trimesh
open3d
pythonocc

Exposure to tools/platforms like:

Speckle
Blender

Experience integrating engineering data into AI / LLM workflows
Background in AEC / construction technology products
Arabic language skills

Tech environment:

Python (core language)
BIM / IFC ecosystems
3D geometry and spatial processing libraries
GitLab CI/CD pipelines

Opportunity to work on a high-impact AI + construction platform

Exposure to a highly niche and in-demand problem space (BIM + AI)

Work on systems that move BIM from static models to intelligent, queryable data platforms

Collaborative, engineering-led environment with real-world application

Based in Abu Dhabi with on-site collaboration
