About the Role

Build and scale product experiences and systems for commercial contractors, working across frontend, backend, APIs, and integrations. Partner with Engineering, Product, and Design to solve complex problems, improve reliability and usability, and deliver impactful software. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning technical problems end-to-end, navigating ambiguity, and mentoring others, while leveraging AI as a force multiplier.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain high-quality product features and systems across frontend and backend applications.
Own projects through the full lifecycle, from technical design and implementation through rollout, monitoring, and long-term maintenance.
Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate ambiguous problems into clear technical plans and well-scoped milestones.
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong bias toward simplicity, reliability, and long-term extensibility.
Build user-facing experiences and supporting APIs that work well across client, service, and data boundaries.
Design systems with observability and reliability in mind, including metrics, dashboards, alerting, and health checks.
Improve the performance, scalability, and resilience of the products and systems your team owns.
Proactively identify technical risks, cross-team dependencies, and sources of toil before they become execution bottlenecks.
Contribute to design reviews, technical discussions, and architecture decisions with clear thinking and sound judgment.
Mentor less-experienced engineers through code review, technical guidance, and example-setting.
Help strengthen engineering culture by sharing knowledge, improving standards, and contributing to a collaborative, high-accountability environment.
Leverage AI tools thoughtfully across development, debugging, documentation, and workflow acceleration while maintaining strong engineering judgment.

Requirements

5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale.
Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building product features across frontend and backend systems.
Experience building reliable APIs, services, and user-facing applications in a modern production environment.
Strong software design instincts, including how to decompose complex business problems into maintainable technical solutions.
Solid understanding of databases, data modeling, and tradeoffs across relational databases.
Experience working with modern web application patterns and building polished customer-facing product experiences.
Experience owning projects with meaningful ambiguity and making good technical decisions with incomplete information.
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and drive alignment with stakeholders beyond your immediate team.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify root causes and simplify systems over time.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, especially in design docs, technical tradeoff discussions, and stakeholder updates.
A track record of mentoring teammates and helping raise the quality bar on engineering teams.
A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability for both shipping and operating software successfully.
Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve and strong judgment matters.
Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering throughput, learning speed, and quality of execution.
