Who is Interface?

We are the autonomous safety expert for the industrial world.

Here's what that actually means: we're building an expert that finds and fixes errors in industrial documentation; in the near future, we’ll do the same with digital twins. We’re creating an AI-powered auditing platform that fixes errors in regulatory documents, CAD files, and beyond. You’ll be working at the intersection of LLMs, computer vision, and data pipelines to automate compliance in industries where failure is not an option.

Join our funded SF-based team working with global industrial partners. You’ll help create a product that industrial giants rely on to prevent accidents, save lives, and reshape how they operate.
