About You

We're looking for a talented software engineer who's passionate about what we're building and ready to do the best work of their career. You thrive on ownership, drive results, and care deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.

You would be our dream candidate if...

• You aren't afraid of ambiguity, and it may even excite you
• You enjoy shipping product every day (maybe multiple times a day) while maintaining high quality standards
• You enjoy wearing multiple hats while solving problems; as an engineer, product manager, and designer
• You take end-to-end ownership of features and systems, from conception through release
• You care about the built-world and how to improve construction safety and productivity
• You care about others' growth and welcome mentoring other engineers — you've led or been a major contributor on significant projects
• You have strong opinions, weakly held — you advocate for your ideas but adapt when presented with better solutions
• You communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• You have experience working with Javascript / Typescript (backend and / or frontend)
• You have at least 5+ years of working experience (preferably as a full-stack engineer) with a track record of delivering high-impact products
