We're building AI tools for construction.

we’re hiring a full-stack product engineer to help us modernize our platform and build new features from the ground up. If you enjoy owning problems end-to-end and working on a product that gets used every day, we’d love to talk.

(please, no GPT written cover letters, just send us a quick note, the more imperfect the better :) )

about downtobid

Downtobid builds AI-driven software for commercial construction.

• itb automation helps general contractors send and track invite-to-bid emails, maintain accurate subcontractor data, and identify the right subs for every trade.
• bid board gives trade contractors a single place to collect ITBs, qualify projects, and plan workload.

We’re backed by Y Combinator, growing steadily, and operate with a small, focused team—everyone’s work is visible and meaningful.

what you’ll do

• Shape and ship features. Start from a customer problem or product idea, design a solution, implement it, measure results, and iterate.
• Work where the need is. One week you might polish an existing feature; the next, you might prototype something entirely new.
• Maintain quality. Write tests, documentation, and capture basic metrics to keep the product reliable and easy to evolve.

technical requirements

One of our core applications has grown over several years and now needs thoughtful modernization and steady ownership.

• Frontend: TypeScript, React
• Backend: TypeScript/Node.js, REST API, PostgreSQL
• Architecture: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker, Pub/Sub

you’ll fit if you…

• Have taken a project from concept to production—whether a startup, side project, or major feature in a fast‑moving SaaS.
• Can move from broad requirements to working software in a short timeframe.
• Prefer autonomy and direct ownership; our guiding principle is impact > instructions.
• Appreciate clear feedback and a collaborative, low‑bureaucracy environment.

why join us

• Ownership and impact. Your work ships to users and influences product direction.
• Lean processes. Few meetings, async communication, one weekly engineering sync.
• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
