About this Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join a small, high-performing AI startup building the data backbone and automation platform for construction owners. You'll be a deeply technical IC who thrives in early-stage environments, shipping production backend services, making architectural decisions, and mentoring junior engineers, with a clear path to grow into the Lead Engineer role within 3-6 months. We need someone who has been a founding engineer or early hire at a B2B SaaS startup, is comfortable wearing multiple hats, and brings a product mindset alongside deep Python and AWS expertise.

What will you be doing?

Designing, building, and operating production-grade backend services and data pipelines using Python and AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, serverless architectures)
Making critical architectural and system design decisions while using AI coding tools (like Claude) to accelerate development
Owning features end-to-end from backend to front end (React), eliminating handoffs and shipping faster as a full-stack contributor in a 90% backend / 10% frontend codebase
Engaging directly with customers and forward-deployed engineers to understand workflows, clarify requirements, and translate ambiguous needs into shipped software
Mentoring junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and pairing
