Founding Engineer at VC-backed pre-construction AI startup
Help lead the 0→1 journey at a San Francisco startup redefining the $13 trillion construction industry.

As a Founding Engineer, you will own the entire stack—from Node.js services to a mission-critical Electron app—working alongside ex-McKinsey and Cornell alumni founders. If you are a scrappy builder with 4+ years of experience ready to trade spreadsheets for intelligent agents, this is your chance to own a category before it's even fully mapped.
