HEAD OF ENGINEERING

Location: Remote

Type: Full-time

Reports to: CTO/Founding Team

We’re looking for an experienced engineering leader who’s excited to build something and expand the functionality of our products. At BrikMate, the Head of Engineering is more than a technical role — it’s a chance to shape product direction, grow a team, and help reinvent how an entire industry works.

You’ll lead and mentor engineers, design backend systems, and collaborate closely with product, AI, and leadership. You’ll also roll up your sleeves and contribute code as we build new features and scale. If you’re passionate about solving real-world problems with smart, thoughtful technology, we’d love to talk.

About Us

BrikMate is a fast-growing startup using AI to modernize commercial real estate operations. Our software helps property managers automate lease abstraction, streamline data workflows, and make smarter decisions — faster.

Founded by industry insiders and backed by top venture investors, we’re already working with some of the biggest names in the space, including Colliers International and Newmark.

We’re remote-first, mission-driven, and obsessed with building tools that actually make people’s jobs easier.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the engineering team and help define our long-term technical strategy
• Design and build backend services and APIs to support our AI platform
• Guide infrastructure choices and improve our cloud systems (AWS)
• Optimize PostgreSQL for speed and reliability
• Oversee ETL pipelines for processing structured and unstructured data
• Set standards for testing, deployment, and system monitoring
• Partner with AI/ML, frontend, and product teams to deliver reliable features
• Foster an inclusive, high-performance engineering culture

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of software engineering experience
• 3+ years leading technical teams or managing engineers
• Strong backend development skills (TypeScript, Node, React, Express, or NestJS)
• Significant Experience with PostgreSQL and AWS infrastructure
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
• Clear communicator and team player who cares about the details

Nice to have:

• Experience in commercial real estate, proptech, or AI tools
• Familiarity with tools like OpenAI APIs, Langchain, Kafka, or SQS
• Experience building distributed systems or event-driven architecture

What We Offer

• Salary Range: $180,000 - $200,000
• Meaningful equity
• Fully covered Health insurance, including family
• Flexible, remote-first work environment
• Big role, big impact — shape the future of the product and team
• Mission-driven team with high transparency and low ego
• Supportive culture and room to grow

We believe great ideas come from everywhere. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds and identities to apply — even if you don’t meet every requirement.

If this role sounds like a fit for you, please apply today for immediate consideration!
