Description
The Company
We create and continuously update a digital replica of buildings that serve as the building’s system of record. We do this by comparing the 3D design models (known as BIMs) that are created at the outset of a building’s construction to laser scans of the ever-changing reality. During construction, this enables stakeholders to identify construction errors and monitor progress in real-time. And once a building is occupied, we enable that digital twin to serve as a platform for the internet of things, integrating data from hundreds of connected sensors in a common data environment.
The Role
We are looking for a VP of Engineering to lead the growth of our highly collaborative team. We are solving some of the toughest problems in construction by providing detailed, reliable quantification of progress and evaluation of quality for large construction projects. The technical problems we are attacking range from 3D graphics to data mining and we are building a team that has the breadth to take on these varied challenges.
You will help to recruit talented passionate engineers who are a match for our culture. You will manage this team as it scales. You’ll work closely with the CTO to maintain code quality and with the Head of Product to realize the product vision.
The role is remote, but the team is centralized around New York City. This is a full-time, salaried role with a competitive equity package.
Responsibilities:
-
- Support and mentor the engineering teams. Create opportunities for folks to learn and grow through workshops about software design and regular one on one meetings. Collect and disseminate feedback and promote practices and patterns that improve our ability to deliver value. Promote a positive company culture.
- Team Leader. Set and measure goals for the engineering teams. Fast-track development by lending your eyes to critical projects and issues. Help systematically balance competing priorities, and support communication between developers and product/operations teams.
- Recruiting. Identify and hire great engineering candidates as we triple the size of our engineering team over the next year.
- Technical Partnerships. Coordinate with external companies’ engineering teams and our internal Director of Partnerships to support integration development.
- Product Vision. Collaborate with the product and design team to find the best path for delivering value.
