Why this grade This listing scored 66/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Developer Senior Full Time
Intellus Build · Make Construction Intelligent
Work with ex-Narvar Founding CTO (Unicorn, $1B+). 6 AI patents. Enterprise AI pedigree: Google DCDE, Oracle, Macy's, Walmart Labs.
We're hiring founding team members to transform how the $12T global construction industry builds—from residential to mission-critical infrastructure.
Principal Engineer: Platform & Architecture
Architect the Platform That Transforms Construction!
Location: Hybrid (San Francisco Bay Area Preferred) or Remote-US
Type: Full-time
Compensation: Founding-team equity (2-4%) + base salary
Construction creates the world around us—yet still runs on WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and gut feel. Sites generate terabytes of data daily—yet none of it tells anyone what to do next.
This isn't a data problem. It's an Intelligence problem.
We're building the nervous system for construction. Think Palantir meets Procore, but actually usable by contractors. Our first customers are already begging for access.
You'll be Founding Engineering Lead, building alongside our founder and construction industry veterans. Async-first. Remote-friendly. Zero bureaucracy. No meetings about meetings. Just ship code that moves dirt and dollars.
You'll set the architecture, standards, and velocity that define Intellus Build's engineering DNA.
Your growth path: You'll start hands-on, architecting and coding. As we scale, you'll build and lead the engineering team. First mover advantage: define the technical culture and the role you want to grow into.
About the Role
Intellus Build is the Infrastructure of Truth—the AI-native operating system that connects dirt to dollars.
What You'll Build
As Founding Engineering Lead, you'll architect and build the foundation of our entire platform:
- Design our entire technical architecture from scratch — make decisions that scale to millions of users
- Build the core platform that other engineers will build on top of
- Ship our first AI features to real construction sites and iterate based on field feedback
- Set up CI/CD, monitoring, and infra for 10× daily deploys
- Recruit and mentor the next engineers and define our engineering culture
- Architect systems that scale from single-site contractors to 100+ location portfolio operations
Requirements
You are:
- 4–7 years building production systems (exceptional cases reviewed)
- Deep in one area (frontend / backend / infra / mobile) but capable across stack
- Someone who thinks 'I'll build a prototype this weekend' when hearing new ideas and ships fast
- Pragmatic, but with strong architectural opinions
- Experienced building systems used by 1,000+ users
Nice to Have
- Built AI/LLM applications that people actually use (not just demos)
- Built systems at scale at a top-tier tech company (FAANG, Stripe, Uber, Airbnb, or similar)
- Open source contributions we can review
- Strong opinions about construction industry inefficiencies
Why This Role Matters
- Massive market: Construction is 13% of global GDP — $12T globally
- Real AI application: Not another chatbot — AI that prevents workplace accidents and saves lives
- True ownership: You're not employee #500. You define everything from tech stack to culture
- Explosive growth vertical: AI infrastructure is the fastest-growing construction segment—we're building the platform to power it
- Pedigree: A Stanford StartX company (elite sub-1% accelerator)
