Every road, bridge, and building starts at an engineering firm. There are 40K+ of them in the US, and most run on software older than the engineers using it. This legacy toolset was designed before the term "user experience" ever existed and it's demotivating, error-prone, and slow. We're building the iron man suit for civil engineers to pull them out of this tedium and get them back to designing the future of our built environment. Eagle was founded by Mayank Mardia (CEO), Sohum Daftary (President), and Thomas Shouler, P.E. (CTO), and is backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners. ### The opportunity As a Software Engineer, you'll own the platform layer that impacts every single user we engage with. You'll partner directly with the CTO to shape the broader technical strategy that underpins our work. You'll also treat the forward deployed team as a user, synthesizing across their needs to get everyone more leverage at the edge. You get a front-row seat to building a company from zero on a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI. ### What you'll do Own the system architecture that's shared across our forward deployed engineers (data ingestion, API design, authorization, our broader hybrid RAG system) Own our multi-tenant architecture where each firm is a new tenant, a new identity domain, and a new set of source systems to connect to Contribute to the delivery path from commit to production: CI/CD, preview environments, test infrastructure, a local setup that works on day one Shape what "up" means for us, instrument it, and contribute to our observability and incident management practice ### Our Values Ask Why: We have a beginner’s mind, incessantly ask questions, and share our success with others. We always want to know what we can be doing better. Read the Room: We read the situation and meet people where they are, whether that's a counterparty, a client, or each other. We listen first and understand how our words and actions impact one another. Get on a Flight: We have dogged persistence. We operate with a sense of urgency with our work and careers, and we want to push and be pushed. ### What we look for You've owned architecture decisions within large distributed systems and have specific opinions about what you'd do differently next time 5+ years of experience in platform-focused software engineering roles Experience at a fast growing startup ### Technology Frontend: NextJS on Vercel, Tailwind CSS Backend: Kotlin for web services, Python for data Infra: Multitenant shared infra on AWS ### Compensation Competitive cash compensation ($150K–$300K depending on experience) Founding equity, scaled to scope ### Benefits Health Insurance: Full healthcare, medical and dental Retirement: 401(k) PTO: Flexible time off Travel: Company-paid Office: HQ in New York City ### Process Our process takes about 2 weeks: a conversation with Tom or Mayank, a second founder conversation, a 60 minute technical interview, followed by a work trial where you'll get to meet the rest of the team and build with us for a day. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
