Responsibilities
What you will do
- Architect & Build: Design and implement core Node.js/TypeScript services and multi-tenant architectures that power the entire intelligent agent platform.
- Ship Desktop Experiences: Lead the development of a bulletproof Electron app for Mac and Windows, handling complex offline sync and file system access.

Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for

What makes it remarkable
Why this role is remarkable
- Unrivaled Market Ownership: No one owns the "pre-con AI" category yet; you will be charting the map for a $13 trillion industry that still runs on manual Excel processes.
- Top-Tier Pedigree: Backed by VCs who invested in construction tech giants like PlanGrid and BuildingConnected, and founded by a team from Cornell, McKinsey, and civil engineering.
- True Founding Impact: As one of the first 10 employees, you will make the critical "build vs. buy" calls and design the entire technical architecture from day one.
