Our client is building a platform to transform how contractors manage land planning and development, one of the most complex and underserved stages in construction.
Backed by an established contractor with 17+ years of experience, they’re now hiring a Founding Engineer to build the product from scratch and shape the technical direction from day one.
Do you want to take full ownership of a greenfield product, stay hands-on, and work towards a path to technical co-founder?
About the company
This is a newly launched tech venture tackling a major inefficiency in the construction and development lifecycle.
Today, planning projects require coordination between dozens of consultants and reports, often managed through fragmented, outdated systems.
The vision is to build a centralised platform combining workflow management and document collaboration, creating a single source of truth for the entire planning process.
With a clear MVP scope and early user demand, the business is now moving into build phase.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for a highly autonomous engineer who is comfortable building in ambiguity and making key technical decisions early.
You’ll likely enjoy this role if you:
*
Take ownership and execute without needing heavy direction
*
Enjoy building from zero to one
*
See messy, complex systems as an opportunity to simplify
*
Want to shape both product and technical direction
*
Are motivated by long-term impact and potential equity upside
What you’ll do
*
Architect and build the platform from the ground up (greenfield)
*
Own technical decisions across stack, architecture, and integrations
*
Deliver the MVP (workflow hub + document management system)
*
Integrate external data sources and APIs into a unified platform
*
Work closely with product and data architect stakeholders to shape functionality
*
Chance to build automation tools that create immediate operational value
*
Contribute to long-term product and technical strategy
Must-haves
*
Full-stack engineering experience with end-to-end ownership
*
Experience building production-ready applications independently
*
Ability to design architecture in greenfield environments
*
Experience working with APIs and integrating multiple data sources
*
Strong product mindset — focused on outcomes over process
*
Comfortable operating in ambiguity with high autonomy
Nice-to-haves
*
Experience building or working with document management systems
*
Experience in PropTech, ConstructionTech, or related sectors
*
Exposure to SaaS platforms and subscription-based products
*
Familiarity with workflow automation tools and systems
*
Interest in applying AI to document and planning workflows
*
Experience working with data-heavy or integration-heavy platforms
Why join
*
Build a category-defining product in an underserved market
*
Take full ownership from day one — architecture, code, and product direction
*
Work directly with experienced operators with deep domain expertise
*
Join a funded venture with real users and clear product demand
*
Clear pathway to technical co-founder
*
High impact: your work will shape how an entire industry operates
