Founding Engineer - Full Stack

Hi, thanks for checking out our job board!

If you're an entrepreneurial-minded builder who loves to work with great people to solve wicked problems that have a meaningful impact, read on to see if this position might be a good fit for you!

The Mission
Infrastructure means everything for economic growth and opportunity. Roads, bridges, dams, and airports dictate our ability to reduce poverty, fight climate change, and lower crime. The government chases these benefits to the tune of $320B every year.

The results aren’t pretty. Infrastructure construction companies deliver 75% of projects late. 50% turn down work due to labor shortages. And ancient, inadequate software prevents them from getting faster or more efficient.

About CloudRig
That’s where CloudRig comes in. We’re a venture-backed software company building a modern construction management platform to help infrastructure construction companies win more jobs and deliver them on time and under budget.

We embrace a culture of initiative, service, and humility. We’re taking on a big problem with the potential for big impact. We challenge ourselves every day to make the lives of those in infrastructure construction exponentially better.

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team as we build out a product that will help to shape the physical future for America in the 21st century.

The Why
CloudRig will transform the working lives of the 100,000 people who build our critical infrastructure, and, in turn, the hundreds of millions who rely on this infrastructure to open new businesses, go to work, travel, see friends and family, and climb the socioeconomic ladder. If you’re looking for purpose in your work and a new challenge to spark personal and professional growth, there’s no better opportunity. Apply now.
