Full-Stack Engineer | NYC | Series A Construction Tech Startup

Location: Full in person, New York City (Flatiron District)

Compensation: $130k–$160k base + meaningful equity

Stage: Series A ($11M raised)

The Company

Our client is building the next-generation operating system for commercial HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing suppliers and subcontractors.

Over the past year, their V1 quoting product has scaled to 250+ quotes per day and $1.5M+ ARR, with adoption across many of the top suppliers in North America. Fresh off an $11M Series A led by top construction-tech investors, the company is entering its next phase of growth, with engineering at the core of everything ahead.

They are building deeply technical systems that power real-time collaboration and mission-critical workflows across commercial construction.

The Role

They are hiring a Full-Stack Engineer to help scale a fast-growing real-time collaboration platform.

You will join a small, high-caliber engineering team and own complex features end-to-end, from frontend experience through backend services and infrastructure. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building production-grade systems that must be fast, reliable, and maintainable under real customer load.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship complex features across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with a strong focus on correctness, performance, and reliability
• Contribute to system design, making thoughtful tradeoffs around scalability, complexity, and maintainability
• Own services in production, including debugging, observability improvements, and iteration based on real usage
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineers to translate product requirements into robust technical solutions
• Write clean, well-tested code and help define standards around testing, CI/CD, and system reliability

What They’re Looking For

You are comfortable taking a loosely defined product goal and turning it into a production-ready feature across the stack. You have strong instincts for reliability and performance, enjoy working close to customers, and like shipping, measuring, and hardening real systems.

Required Experience

• 1+ year of industry software development experience
• Strong experience with TypeScript, React or Next.js, Node.js, and Python
• Backend and infrastructure experience with AWS (or similar), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with databases such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, or PostgreSQL
• Solid understanding of concurrency and distributed systems, including clustered or multi-user environments
• Experience ensuring frontend reliability and performance optimization
• Familiarity with monitoring and testing tools such as Sentry, Fullstory, Posthog, Cypress, or Playwright

Nice to Have

• Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, or Pulumi
• Open-source contributions or experience defining engineering best practices
• Experience building interactive or collaborative tools such as real-time editors or whiteboard-style products
• Startup experience, especially during periods of rapid scaling
• Base Salary: $130k–$160k depending on experience
• Equity: Meaningful equity package
• Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Perks: Free lunches and dinners provided

This is a full-time, onsite role based in New York City’s Flatiron District, just minutes from Madison Square Park and Union Square. The team works onsite to maximize real-time collaboration, fast iteration, and strong engineering culture.
