[Hiring] Fullstack/Backend Engineer @Recruiting From Scratch

Role Description

Design, build, and maintain API integrations with third-party construction software platforms, handling authentication flows, data normalization, and edge-case mapping across inconsistent external schemas.

• Contribute to the core unified API layer — the abstraction that translates platform-specific data models into a clean, developer-friendly interface.
• Work across the stack as needed, including frontend surfaces such as developer dashboards, documentation tooling, or internal admin interfaces.
• Write reliable, well-tested code that handles the realities of external API instability — rate limits, partial failures, schema drift, and inconsistent data quality.
• Collaborate directly with founders and early customers to understand integration requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Participate in architectural discussions and help establish patterns and standards that the engineering team will build on as it grows.
• Own features end-to-end — from scoping and design through deployment and monitoring.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining third-party API integrations, including working with REST and/or GraphQL APIs that are inconsistently documented or designed.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals — comfortable with data modeling, system design, and writing production-grade server-side code.
• Experience working in a B2B SaaS or developer-tools context, with an appreciation for what it means to build a product where the end user is a software engineer.
• Comfort operating with high autonomy and low process — this is an early-stage team where self-direction and good judgment matter as much as technical skill.
• Pragmatic approach to software quality: you write tests where they count, make deliberate tradeoffs, and don't let perfect be the enemy of shipped.

Requirements

• Prior experience at an API aggregation, middleware, or integration platform company (e.g., Plaid, Merge, Finch, Codat, or similar).
• Familiarity with the construction software ecosystem — platforms such as Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Viewpoint, or others.
• Experience designing developer-facing APIs with a focus on ergonomics, consistency, and clear documentation.
• Background contributing to engineering culture and technical decision-making in a seed or early Series A environment.
