About the role
About
Rudus is an AI-powered takeoff platform for structural and site concrete. We accelerate concrete takeoffs by 70%+ with AI trained specifically on structural and civil drawings- counting, measuring, and reading sheets so estimators can focus on winning bids.
The Role
You'll be one of the first engineers, shipping across the entire stack: drawing intake and rendering, AI-powered element detection and autocomplete, real-time collaborative editing, schedule interpretation, and exports into estimators' bidding workflows. You'll work directly with customers and see your code run on real bids within days of shipping.
The Role
You are the bridge between our platform and the estimating teams who run it. You'll deploy with concrete contractors- onsite during launches, async in between. You’ll be onboarding estimators, running parallel takeoffs, fixing issues live, and building custom integrations with the customer in the room. What you learn in the field feeds directly back into the product.
What You'll Do
- Deploy Rudus at client offices: in-person onboarding, sitting with estimators through their first real takeoffs
- Build customer-specific integrations and configurations in Python and TypeScript
- Triage and fix issues fast- sometimes live, in the room
- Tune the platform to each partner's structural and site workflows, including model tuning on their historical takeoffs
- Translate field feedback into product priorities alongside the core engineering team
What We're Looking For
- Strong engineer who's happiest working directly with users
- Excellent communicator- comfortable with contractors, not just other engineers
- Willing to travel for onsite deployments
- Bonus: construction, estimating, or other field-heavy industry exposure
