The opportunityOur core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession. Our plan is to close it by acquiring engineering firms, building purpose-built tools for their staff, and compounding that proprietary intelligence across acquisitions.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll work directly with the CTO to own the long term vision of our platform. We'll all be building at the edge with our users, but the value created here needs to be synthesized into a cohesive offering that compounds in value over time. You get a front-row seat to building a company from zero-engaging with architecture decisions, firm acquisitions, and product strategy-on a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI.
What you'll do- Embed with staff at engineering firms alongside the founders; then come back and build against what you saw
- Own problems end-to-end from problem discovery to deployment to debugging in prod
- Collaborate directly with the CTO on engineering culture, technical direction, and what we'll build next
- Build and deploy the core layers of our platform: data connectors, document intelligence, and a structured knowledge store that gets richer with time
What we look for- Has a deep curiosity for how things work (e.g., an organization, a workflow, a market)
- Isn't afraid to expose their ignorance and is constantly asking why
- Has the poise and communication skills to earn trust with people who've never worked with a tech company before
- Can sit with noisy, conflicting feedback from users and distill it into a clear opinion about what to build
- Is willing to get on a plane with us
- Has experience or interest in LLMs, Agent Frameworks, RAG, browser automation, or doc parsing
- Is not above any task: Up to write the web scraper, help users leverage off-the-shelf tools, or build the plugin for Windows native AEC software
Compensation- Competitive cash compensation ($150K-$300K depending on experience)
- Founding equity, scaled to scope
- Full healthcare benefits
- In-person office in NYC
