Job description

BuildQ | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (PT to ET overlap preferred) | $130K - $150K + equity | Full-time | Seed | https://buildq.ai/careers/founding-engineer

Hey folks! I'm Dylan, CTO at BuildQ, and we're building out our founding eng team. Today, a $200M solar project sits for weeks while someone reads thousands of PDFs before it can be financed. We make that review fast: customers order diligence from us, our agents do the work, and an expert signs off. We've processed 200,000+ documents across 1,100+ projects so far. We're looking for a Founding Engineer to join 2 of us on the engineering team. You'll ship to production on your first day, and you'll help shape what the future of BuildQ looks like.

We're remote, and the benefits are great (a startup with a 401k match!).

  • Rails
  • Python
  • React
  • TS
  • Postgres
