We’re building the tech that’s transforming outdoor construction. With 35,000+ projects completed across 15 states, our platform replaces the industry’s usual ambiguity with accuracy, speed, and transparency.

Engineers here work on real systems that power satellite-based measurements, real-time pricing, quoting flows, scheduling, and installer coordination. Our stack includes Python/Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud environments in AWS/GCP — all designed to scale.

We’re a remote-first team spread across 35+ countries, recognized by Forbes and Newsweek for culture and impact. While our tech drives efficiency, our people drive the experience — helping homeowners, contractors, and partners get clarity at every step.

If you enjoy building reliable backend services, optimizing data flows, and shaping modern infrastructure, you’ll have plenty of meaningful challenges here.
