Job description

Role overview

Build and improve software products and shared services for a marketplace serving construction and real estate finance workflows. This hands-on staff engineering role moves between foundational architecture, early product experiments with customers, and refinements to launched products; it also includes technical leadership and mentoring without people management.

Responsibilities

• Design reusable services and workflow foundations for marketplace products, including purchasing, contract, invoicing, and status-management capabilities.
• Work directly with customers to frame problems, deliver an initial product version quickly, and use frequent feedback to decide what to improve, change, or discontinue.
• Improve live products by refining workflows, usability, quality, and adoption.
• Build AI-supported workflows that process and reason over complex documents, using model integrations and document extraction services.
• Lead system design on significant initiatives and contribute to maintainable, scalable, reliable, and flexible architecture.
• Mentor engineers through technical guidance and code review.

Requirements

• Senior-level software engineering experience spanning architecture and hands-on implementation.
• Ability to build reusable services and distributed workflows with attention to reliability, scale, and maintainability.
• Experience taking product ideas from customer problem discovery through working software and iteration.
• Strong judgment in balancing delivery speed with product quality and in making evidence-based decisions about product direction.
• Ability to work across existing products, new initiatives, and shared platform components.
• Communication and mentoring skills suited to influencing technical direction across a team.

Benefits and work setup

• Listed annual pay range: $180,000-$240,000, with equity, medical, dental, and vision coverage, and unlimited paid time off.
• Learning grant program and, for U.S. employees, a 401(k) with match and expedited vesting.
• Employees outside the Nashville area are expected to travel to the Nashville office at least twice yearly for company gatherings; additional travel may be needed.
