General

What we do 🪵

Our mission is to empower building materials suppliers with great technology. There are over $1,000,000,000,000 of building materials bought in the US every year, and many of these transactions happen in on-prem point-of-sale systems. We want to bring these transactions online, enabling better experiences for contractors and homeowners alike.

This Role

What you'll achieve with us 🥇

• You'll iterate on the entire software stack to ship exciting new features and fix bugs.

• You'll work closely with product & design stakeholders and talk to our clients to collectively define what we're building.

• You'll help us execute on those product requirements.

Requirements ✅

• You enjoy talking to customers and learning about their needs.

• You collaborate well cross-functionally, especially with designers and product managers

• You enjoy giving and receiving all types of feedback frequently.

• You're excited to work in-person at our office in Redwood City. At this early stage, we're all friends and enjoy being together. Even more, we think there's a magic that happens brainstorming around a whiteboard that we've failed to find working remote.

Icing on the cake 🎂

• You have worked as a software engineer for 2-5 years.

• You have worked in a fast-paced startup environment.

• You have written frontend software using React, Redux, and TypeScript.

• You have written backend software using Go and Postgres.

• You have familiarity with construction or building materials.

Interview process

• Intro Call (30 min): Simply for us to get to know one another!

• Take-Home Project: We believe take-home projects are the interview process most reflective of the day-to-day. Given our belief that someone's "slope" is more important than their "y-intercept", we used to make a different take-home project for every candidate based on what they didn't know. Now, we have a standard take-home project for each candidate.

• Meet the team (~4 hours): This will consist of

  • Pair Programming (1 hour): Extending the take-home project.

  • Architecture (1 hour): Designing a new solution.

  • Lunch (1 hour): A meal eaten around the middle of the day [citation].

  • Culture (2x30 min): Asking some questions about your past experience.
