The platform offers features for estimating, job costing, change orders, purchase orders, invoicing, client portals, AI-powered updates, integrations, onboarding and training to help contractors improve profitability, save time and keep teams and clients aligned.

📋 Description

• Own the technical architecture for Buildertrend’s internal AI platform, designing reusable services, agentic systems, workflow orchestration, and AI capabilities that power teams across the GTM and G&A functions. • Establish the engineering standards for internal AI development, including architecture patterns, reusable components, evaluation frameworks, observability, governance, and deployment practices. • Architect the integration and data layer that connects Buildertrend’s business tools, including Salesforce, Gong, Databricks, and others, into a scalable internal AI platform. • Lead technical evaluations and build-vs-buy decisions for AI platforms, frameworks, and tooling in partnership with the Director of AI Enablement. • Establish best practices for monitoring, evaluating, and continuously improving AI systems in production to ensure reliability, security, and business value. • Translate ambiguous business problems from non-technical partners into well-scoped technical solutions and drive them to completion independently. • Serve as the technical voice of the Central AI Enablement function in cross-functional conversations, including engineering leadership and business VPs. • Embrace using AI as a tool to enhance your work, while remaining open to learning, applying critical thinking, and owning the quality of your final work.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years of experience designing and deploying production AI applications using modern LLM APIs and orchestration frameworks. • Demonstrated experience owning technical architecture and influencing engineering direction across multiple teams. • Experience with modern AI tooling such as OpenAI, Anthropic, LangGraph, MCP, vector databases, or similar technologies. • Prior experience at a B2B SaaS company is highly preferred. • Strong Python and/or JavaScript skills, with experience with API integrations, webhook design, and data pipeline architecture. • Experience designing and delivering multi-step AI systems. • Comfortable working across the GTM tech stack, including Salesforce, Gong, or similar, and ability to ramp quickly on new tools and become the technical owner for those systems and integrations. • Understanding of how sales and marketing funnels work, what revenue teams care about, and how to size and measure the impact of what you build. • Strong communicator who can present technical tradeoffs, architectural decisions, and build-vs-buy recommendations to VPs and senior leadership. • You’re energized by ambiguous problems where there isn’t an established playbook!

🏖️ Benefits

• Exceptional health packages, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus life insurance and short- and long-term disability benefits. • A 401(k) plan with Buildertrend matching contributions to help you plan for the future. • Generous paid time off, 11 paid holidays, plus personal days to make sure you have time to recharge. • Parental leave and paid sabbaticals to support you during life’s big moments. • Volunteer time off – because giving back matters. • Wellness program and onsite fitness center to keep you feeling your best. • Opportunities for hybrid or remote work to give you the flexibility you need. • Technology reimbursement to help cover costs for the tech you need to do your job from home. • Free daily lunches when you're at our HQ office, plus monthly events to connect with your team.
