About the Role
This is a founding-team product engineering role at a seed-stage construction AI startup, sitting on a small, impact-driven product team. You will shape and ship core features end-to-end, working directly with customers to bring AI-powered blueprint analysis and cost estimation tools to the people who build housing and infrastructure. The work is meaningful: faster, cheaper construction means more homes, hospitals, and schools.
What You'll Do
-
Own features fully, from weekly customer interviews through to production delivery the following week.
-
Build UIs that make complex blueprint and hardware data feel intuitive for users coming from paper-based workflows.
-
Contribute across the stack, working on a React frontend and a Python backend and infrastructure.
-
Architect and build new product capabilities from zero, taking ideas from concept to production.
-
Translate messy domain knowledge gathered from customers into clear, well-scoped product decisions.
-
Shape product direction alongside the team, not just implementation details.
-
Handle the operational and logistical work that keeps an early-stage startup moving.
What We're Looking For
-
Demonstrated ability to ship full-stack features using React on the frontend and Python on the backend; all experience levels considered, including recent graduates.
-
A track record of owning features end-to-end, from customer discovery through production delivery.
-
Strong product taste and user-focused design sensibility.
-
Experience or clear aptitude for 0-to-1 architecture and product building.
-
Excellent communication skills, a growth mindset, and comfort with rapid iteration.
-
Genuine motivation to make housing and infrastructure more affordable, not just to maximise compensation.
-
Bonus: previously built a product that people used or paid for (as a founder or early startup employee).
-
Bonus: construction, blueprint, or estimation domain experience or a clear interest in the industry.
-
Bonus: experience applying AI or computer vision to construction workflows.
-
US work authorization required; visa sponsorship is not available.
