Job description

Software Engineer, Internal Tooling

Nashville, TN – requires at least 2 days in-office a week.

Real Story

We’re hiring a hungry engineer fresh out of school who wants to move the needle from day one. This is a solo role building the operational nervous system for our implementation team – the automations, workflows, and tools that let 20+ people move 10x faster.

You’ll own outcomes that directly impact our Time-to-Value and revenue. You’ll work in ambiguity, ship fast, and learn the construction finance business while you build. This is not a junior support role. You’re the only person writing code here. You move.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Build internal tools and automations using AI and agentic frameworks (Claude, LLMs, MCP servers) on top of Built’s bapps infrastructure
• Ship fast and iterate—if it works and people use it, it’s good. If it doesn’t, kill it and build the next thing
• Work from real operational pain points (your team will tell you exactly what’s broken)
• Own the full stack: design, build, deploy, measure, iterate based on what actually gets used
• Learn the real estate finance domain by shipping solutions, not by reading docs
• Partner with product and engineering to understand our architecture and use it

What Success Looks Like

• Your code directly reduces manual hours on the implementation team (and you’ll measure it)
• You ship your first tool within your first 30 days
• You get comfortable shipping and iterating quickly with real feedback
• People on your team actually use the things you build – adoption matters
• You grow from "new grad" to "engineer who owns critical internal systems" in 12‑18 months

Required

• Recent Computer Science graduate or software engineer with up to ~1 year of experience (including internships, co‑ops, or substantial academic projects)
• 0–2 years of professional or serious personal project experience (bootcamp counts; passion projects count)
• Ability to write clean code in any modern language (you’ll pick up our stack)
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership – you’ll get a problem statement, not a spec
• Genuine curiosity about the business – why we’re automating this, what it enables downstream
• Speed and shipping bias over perfection

Preferred

• Hands‑on with AI/LLM tools or agentic frameworks (even a personal project)
• Experience with APIs and integrations
• Ability to identify inefficiencies and solve them independently

Tech Stack You’ll Use

TypeScript, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS IAC. You don’t need to know all of these coming in – you’ll learn them. The bapps team will do code review and coaching.

Travel Requirement

Employees who are not based in the Nashville area are required to travel to our Nashville office at least twice per year for company gatherings, such as Connect Week. Additional travel to Nashville may be required based on your role and business needs.

Salary & Benefits

Built’s salary range for this position is $75,000 – $115,000 USD per year. Salary is just one component of Built’s total compensation package, which also includes equity, top‑notch medical, dental and vision coverage, an unlimited PTO policy, and other benefits.

Perks

• The rare opportunity to radically disrupt a $1.5 T industry
• Competitive benefits including uncapped vacation (US ONLY), medical, dental & vision insurance
• Robust compensation package, including equity in the form of stock options
• Learning Grant program to support ongoing professional development
• 401k with match and expedited vesting (US ONLY)
