Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point. Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes.

Company Overview
Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point because of the tedious nature of takeoffs (measuring & counting materials needed from the drawings). Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes.
We are a lean startup backed by some of the best VCs in the world: Primary and Pear. Almost all of the work lies ahead of us. We are excited to create next-gen software for the built world!
Position Overview
Bobyard’s growing uncomfortably fast. There are so many new things we need to build while also scaling our existing infra to keep up with the demand.
You will have very high autonomy in designing, executing, and iterating on products. We are a startup, and we move fast. You will be the world’s leading expert on the products you build. We look for world-class engineers who have both a vision for the product but also the ability to go heads down and produce exceptional code.
You will be working very closely with the founding team to develop & maintain the entire tech stack (React, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS, GCP, and Heroku).
Desired Attributes
Benefits
This is a full-time & in-person role in SF. Learning rate and dedication are vital factors. If you can prove that you can execute on the products our customers are waiting for at the speed and quality the market demands (or if you can prove that you will acquire the ability to do so fast enough), we would love to work with you.
