About the company

The client is an early stage start up.

We are enabling the future of construction documents. We are starting by solving old school construction problems using AI (NLP). The construction industry is one of the least digitized/inefficient industries in the world. Unlike most industries, construction productivity has been declining for the last couple decades. We’re building Spexbook out of necessity because the industry deserves better than crappy enterprise software that doesn’t move the needle forward.

We’re a remote first company. We maintain core working hours of 10AM to 4PM EST – That’s when we’re all online and available at the same time.

We are an early stage company, the ideal candidate will have the opportunity to not only build our product but the company itself. But best of all, you’ll get to build something people actually want.

About the job

We are building the future which is why we are looking for more than just an “engineer”. We are looking for someone who is relentlessly resourceful – someone who isn’t afraid of getting uncomfortable when it comes to learning new things. We are solving a problem in a new way and want someone who is intimate about solving problems. We’re looking for someone with broad experience who sees languages and frameworks as tools and tradeoffs. If you’re only interested in using <insert-framework-here>, this role probably isn’t a good fit for you.

The ideal candidate has an appreciation for building beautiful products. She/He should be fluent with Javascript based frameworks and has dabbled with NLP and/or OCR engines.

As the first Full Stack engineer, you will own the development of the early MVP product. You will work closely with the founder to help build early features, while helping optimize Spexbook for scale as we server more and more clients. In the long term, you will be instrumental in helping us eventually hire and build out our engineering team.
