Senior Software Engineer (Backend)
Field Materials develops AI-native construction procurement software. Our AI agents automate workflows in procurement, AP, and inventory management. As a result, our customers spend less time on data entry and manual workflows in legacy ERPs. Our edge is in best-in-class AI and powerful integrations with existing construction ERPs.
We're post-PMF and scaling: already processing $3B+ in material purchase volume across 16 construction trades.
Tech Stack
Go, GraphQL & Postgres (gqlgen, pgx, squirrel, dataloaders). Sophisticated data models aligned with ERPs. Complex authorization and approvals. In-house observability for GraphQL. AWS stack: ALB, ECS, RDS, S3.
Bidirectional integrations with unified data model across 13+ construction systems & on-prem connector. REST APIs, ODBC, COM, and others.
Generative AI + optimization algorithms drive document extraction. Models are heavily tuned for the domain. Algorithms, LLMs, and RAGs drive automations. Strong metric-oriented culture with evaluation sets across the board.
We spin out separate services where it makes sense. The construction data model is complex with a lot of business data constraints so we use ACID transactions whenever possible.
We’re looking for engineers who want extreme ownership. You’re not just a programmer; you own data models, API design, and distributed systems processing semantics.
About You
You are excited about startups and new products.
You enjoy solving complex problems and iterating fast.
You realize that products are built iteratively and specs evolve with customer feedback
You care about system and code design: well architected code is easier to understand, refactor, evolve, and inherit.
You enjoy building highly complex business applications that scale well with new requirements and new modules.
You care about products that have massive economic impact and have interest in FinTech.
