Company mission
To make it easier and faster to build critical infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years in product, founding, or full-stack engineering at a high-growth software company
- A track record of launching 0→1 products — you've started something, shipped it, and learned from it
- Comfort working with AI coding tools to build and ship prototypes independently
- Sharp customer instincts — you can run great discovery interviews and know a real pain point when you hear one
- High ownership mindset — you treat this like a business, not a project
- If you've ever wanted to build something from scratch without giving up the rocket ship you're already on, this is the role
What the job involves
- Miter is building a suite of apps for contractors — and we need founders to build them
- This is not a traditional PM role. As App Founder, you'll own a new app from zero: choosing the problem, finding the customers, building the prototype, and growing it into a $10M+ ARR business
- You'll work with a tiny team at first (often just you and another engineer), supported by Miter's platform, customer base, and GTM team
- You'll report directly to the Head of Product and have visibility with the ELT. Think of it like being a seed-stage founder — with the distribution advantages of a scaling company behind you
- We move fast, operate with high trust, and expect high ownership
- Run deep customer discovery across 2–3 candidate problem areas and identify the most compelling app opportunity
- Build a working prototype within your first 90 days — using AI coding tools, no-code platforms, or whatever it takes
- Pitch and demo your app to real prospects, incorporate their feedback, and iterate rapidly to find product-market fit
- Own the commercial motion: pricing, packaging, early sales, and customer expansion
- Graduate the app through Miter's stage-gated investment framework (Discovery → Pre-Seed → Seed → Series A)
- Why This Role Is Different:
- Most PM jobs are feature factories. This one isn't. You'll have:
- Founder-level ownership over a new product line
- Significant milestone-based bonuses — $M++ in cash and equity across graduation stages
- Direct access to Miter's customer base of thousands of contractors from day one
- A clear path to becoming GM of a $10M+ ARR category inside a fast-growing company
Application process
- Recruiter Screen
- Hiring Manager Interview
- Take-Home Assignment
- Team Round Interviews
Our take
Miter is addressing the productivity issue in the construction industry. With construction expenses on the rise and many building companies still using HR and financial software originally developed in the 90s, Miter leverages breakthroughs in fintech infrastructure to create new HR, compliance, and financial software for construction companies.
It's all-in-one offering provides construction companies with payroll, labor compliance, and spend management tools that will help to save time and therefore bid on more public sector projects. Ultimately, most contractors outsource this type of work, so Miter saves money on employment too.
Founded in 2021, Miter has developed a sturdy and flexible platform which has a lot of promise. And now with some impressive funding, the company is ready to scale further to meet the needs of international clients.
