• Be hands‑on when needed to dive into architecture reviews, code reviews, documentation, testing, and complex technical challenges, especially around performance optimization, and scalable system design.
• Champion user‑centric thinking for construction professionals; measure success through adoption, performance metrics, user satisfaction, and workflow efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field or an equal amount of related professional experience.
• 7+ years of experience in software development with 1+ years of people management. Experience leading a full‑stack team building enterprise‑grade web applications with strong execution, resilience, and business impact is preferred.
• Interest in agentic automation platforms such as n8n, Orkes, Moveworks, and a desire to integrate workflow automation into engineering processes. Experience with these platforms is preferred.
• Strong proficiency in cloud platforms (Azure), including microservices, serverless patterns, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code.
• Hands‑on experience with backend technologies such as .NET, Node.js, or similar stacks, including REST and event‑driven architectures.
• Ability to translate technical topics to non‑technical stakeholders, influence their decision making, and challenge the status quo when necessary.
• Flexibility to meet changing demands and manage priorities in a dynamic environment.
• Domain expertise in construction, building products, or field service applications with an understanding of how construction professionals work and the workflows they depend on is preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with modern real‑time collaboration or document automation platforms, such as Live blocks, is highly regarded and will help accelerate innovation within the team.
