What the job involves
- We're seeking an exceptional Engineering Tech Lead to lead the development of Cru.ai, Constrafor's AI-powered platform that's transforming how subcontractors manage their back office operations
- As the technical leader for one of our most exciting products, you'll help shape the architecture, technical direction, and execution of a platform that's redefining accounting automation and financial workflows in construction
- In this role, you'll partner closely with CTO, Product, and engineering teams to build intelligent, scalable, and intuitive software that delivers real business value to our customers
- You'll remain hands on in the code while leading technical decision making, mentoring engineers, and establishing engineering best practices that enable the team to move quickly without compromising quality
- This is a unique opportunity to help build the first AI-powered back-office platform purpose-built for subcontractors, working on cutting edge AI experiences that automate manual workflows, improve financial visibility, and fundamentally change how construction businesses operate
- Lead the technical architecture and development of Cru.ai, ensuring the platform is scalable, secure, and highly performant

- Build and optimize AI-powered product experiences by integrating LLMs, AI services, and intelligent workflows into customer facing applications

- Participate in hiring and help build a world-class engineering team
- Lead by example through hands on coding while helping establish the long term technical vision for Cru.ai
Our take
Large construction projects take a long time to finish, and subcontractors can get caught up in the flow of money, waiting up to 80 days to be paid by general contractors. Such situations not only lead to project delays but also impose the burden of financing their project segments onto subcontractors. However, Constrafor has set out to change this through its SaaS construction procurement platform.
The platform streamlines information and documentation for how general contractors work with subcontractors, and assumes the risk for the subcontractor invoice - freeing up cash flow. The general contractor then reimburses Constrafor for the invoice, with the company making its money by taking in about 2% of the value of the invoice.
Its a valuable offering, and Constrafor finds itself in substantial demand, standing out for offering tailored solutions that are designed and developed on behalf of these companies. With good funding at its back, the company can continue elevating its operations as it continues to support pivotal aspects of the construction process.
