About the Role This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage construction technology startup using AI and computer vision to automate blueprint analysis, material takeoffs, and cost estimation. You'll be among the first engineers on the team, with direct influence over the product, architecture, and culture at a critical moment in the company's growth. What You'll Do Build polished, intuitive UIs that surface computer vision model outputs to end users. Solve complex challenges involving geometric data, streaming systems, and sophisticated user interactions. Ship prototypes rapidly and iterate on them based on continuous real-world user feedback. What We're Looking For Demonstrated experience taking products from 0 to 1, ideally with proven traction or paying customers. Strong frontend foundation in React and TypeScript , with full-stack capabilities. Proficiency in Python and comfort with open-ended, math-oriented problems. Solid CS fundamentals; an exceptional project portfolio can stand in for a formal degree. Prior experience as a founding engineer or early employee at a startup. Familiarity with Tailwind CSS for building responsive, utility-first UIs is a plus. Background in construction, real estate, or PDF workflows is a plus. Outstanding communication skills marked by empathy and directness. Previous founder experience or an impact-driven mindset is a bonus. Exceptional new graduates with strong hustle and a fast learning curve are also welcome. US citizenship required — visa sponsorship is not available. Compensation & Benefits Salary range: $100,000 – $180,000 USD annually. Equity participation expected at this stage. No visa sponsorship available.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
