Summary
Hi! I’m the Founder and CEO of Builder Prime, a growing B2B SaaS startup helping home improvement companies grow their businesses. I am a technical founder and was the sole developer until about 2 years ago. The team has grown since then and we just raised Series A financing from Blueprint Equity and TinySeed. Scaling up the development and engineering team is now a top priority, and that’s where you come in.
I am looking for a Director of Engineering to join our small team and make a big impact by significantly growing and leading the development and engineering team.
We already have the absolute best platform out there for home improvement contractors. Our customers love our software and the support they receive from us. Check out our reviews on Capterra and Facebook to see what some of our customers are saying about us. We have a highly available platform (see https://builderprime.statuspage.io) with extensive observability tools. Yet, there is more to be done using your experience to improve and further mature our team, tech stack, and operations.
This is a full-time position that is 100% remote. All of our meetings, as well as any meetings with customers, will be conducted remotely, mostly over Zoom. You will need to work during or close to US East Coast business hours. Currently, we try to meet as an entire company for an off-site retreat at least once per year and would cover your expenses to join us.
Why YOU Should Apply
This is a unique opportunity to get in at an early stage of a growing software startup company. We are profitable and growth is accelerating. We need your help to continue that acceleration and scale the company to the next level.
You will be working directly with me, so there is no red tape or layers of management to deal with. You will be able to influence and make real changes, and see the results of those changes immediately. You will be the strategic technical leader that drives major impact in the business that we serve, and in the software, they use throughout every single day to grow their own businesses.
Responsibilities and Day-to-Day
We are a small and scrappy company, so you will need to wear a few different hats. Flexibility and adaptability are key traits that you will need to possess to be successful in this role.
Your main responsibility will be to lead the engineering team consisting of developers, testers, UI/UX engineers, and DevOps engineers. We don’t yet have team members in all of those roles, so you will also be responsible for hiring to fill those roles, and possibly others not mentioned. We expect to grow this team significantly over the next year, so you’ll be working with our recruiting partners to find the best talent and get them up to speed and productive.
You’ll also be responsible for breaking and creating new molds of what a CRM software platform can be for its users. We care deeply about our customers, and we think that they, and the rest of the industry, should have the opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of technology for a change. You’ll be the leader that is driving innovation on their behalf.
