Permit Reviewer - Flexible Hours

The company (Nasdaq: INOD) is a global data engineering company. We believe that data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are inextricably linked. Our mission is to enable the responsible advancement of artificial intelligence by providing the data, evaluation frameworks, and human expertise required to build AI systems that can be trusted at scale. We provide a range of transferable solutions, platforms, and services for Generative AI / AI builders and adopters. In every relationship, we honor our 36+ year legacy delivering the highest quality data and outstanding outcomes for our customers.

Scope of the Role

We are recruiting US-based architects and certified plans examiners to evaluate the output of an AI system that performs automated building-code compliance review on architectural permit applications.

The system ingests permit submissions — new builds, alterations, modifications — and issues a compliant or non-compliant determination for each applicable check, drawn from the International Building Code. Every determination comes with a cited code provision and a marked location on the drawing set showing the evidence relied upon.

Your job is to tell us where the system got it wrong. You are applying the same judgment you already apply in plan review or permit preparation, to a set of determinations that have already been made. Where the system is correct, you confirm it. Where it is wrong, you correct it and the correction becomes training signal.

This is expert review work, not data entry. There is no volume of repetitive clicking to grind through and no generalist labeling pool to compete with — the entire premise of the program is that these judgments cannot be made by anyone without real code expertise.

What You’ll Own

• Review and correct pass/fail verdicts, written rationales, and citation boxes on PDF plans using the in-tool editing toolkit.

• QA and correct labeling: Review AI-generated outputs, fix mislabeled data, and grade agent performance against what a real permit reviewer would conclude.

• Interpret permitting checklists as an experienced reviewer would, applying the relevant requirements to the submitted plans.

• Trace checklist requirements to their applicable source: IBC, IRC or other model codes, state building codes, or county/jurisdiction-specific amendments. Explain which requirement applies and why.

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Have

• ICC certification relevant to building plan review, plus actual experience reviewing permit applications and issuing or resolving plan review comments.

• Based in the United States, with at least 2 years of hands-on permitting experience; 5+ years strongly preferred.

• Deep knowledge of how permitting actually works in the United States, with a preference for experience in Arizona, California, Florida, or Texas.

• Plan examiner or Certified Building Official (CBO) experience and credentials. Provide certification details and the jurisdictions and project types you have reviewed.

The expected hourly range for this position is $40-$70 p/hour, based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
