About the Organization

We are an early stage AI company building intelligent software for construction capital program owners. Our platform combines AI agents, automation, knowledge graphs, and modern data infrastructure to simplify complex workflows and improve how large scale programs are managed.

We operate with a focused, AI native engineering culture where small teams deliver significant impact. Engineers use modern AI development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining strong engineering judgment, code quality, and architectural discipline.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong backend expertise and an early stage startup mindset.
You will build and own production systems using Python and AWS, develop data pipelines, contribute to architecture, work directly with customers, and help shape our technical direction.
The role is approximately 90% backend and 10% frontend, with React experience being valuable.
High performance in this role can lead to a Lead Engineer position within 3 to 6 months.
Key Responsibilities

Build, deploy, and own production backend systems using Python and AWS.
Design scalable serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and related services.
Develop data pipelines supporting AI powered products and knowledge graph systems.
Make architectural decisions focused on scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability.
Use AI coding tools and agentic workflows to accelerate development while reviewing and validating AI generated code.
Work directly with customers to understand workflows, clarify requirements, and translate problems into effective software solutions.
Mentor engineers and contribute to technical standards and engineering practices.
Support frontend development with React when required.
Own technical problems from concept through production.
Required Qualifications

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong backend focus.
Advanced Python experience in production environments.
Strong AWS experience, particularly Lambda, Step Functions, and serverless architecture.
Demonstrated ownership of production systems from design through deployment.
Experience as a founding engineer or early engineering hire within a B2B SaaS startup.
Previous technical leadership, ownership, or mentoring experience.
Hands on experience with AI coding tools and agentic development workflows.
Strong understanding of software architecture and system design.
Product oriented mindset with the ability to communicate directly with customers and non technical stakeholders.
Ability to work independently in a fast paced startup environment.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications

Experience in AI, machine learning, or data focused startups.
Knowledge of knowledge graphs, NLP, data platforms, or data pipelines.
Experience building AI enabled applications.
React or full stack development experience.
Experience working at seed or Series A B2B SaaS companies.
Construction or AEC experience is a plus but not required.
What We Value

We value engineers who build, own, and solve.
You should be comfortable with ambiguity, making technical decisions, working directly with customers, and taking responsibility for systems end to end.
We also expect engineers to use AI thoughtfully. The ability to guide AI generated code, verify its quality, recognize its limitations, and make sound architectural decisions is an important part of the role.
Career Growth

This is an opportunity to become a key technical contributor within a small engineering organization, with potential progression to Lead Engineer within 3 to 6 months based on performance, technical ownership, and leadership.

Interview Process

Initial Interview: 30 minutes focused on experience, startup mindset, technical ownership, and mutual fit.
Technical Interview: 90 to 120 minutes covering coding concepts, code review, architecture, and the practical use and evaluation of AI generated code.
Onsite Interview: 60 minutes with leadership and the engineering team focused on technical depth, collaboration, communication, and culture.
Additional Requirements

Candidates must already be authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.
