## Job description

Why join us? Handoff is the AI agent that runs a construction company. We help remodelers automate estimating, streamline operations, and win more work - backed by real-time cost data, intuitive design, and workflows that “speak contractor.” With over 10,000 monthly active users and $6B in annualized project volume already flowing through our platform, we’re becoming the trusted partner for the people who build our homes. We are backed by $25M+ raised from Y Combinator, Initialized, and Greycroft. Our team is distributed across hubs in Austin, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, and we are deeply focused on building intuitive, high-impact solutions that make a real difference for our users.

## What you'll do

- Serve as the primary point of contact for estimating, purchasing, and construction staff at our enterprise accounts
- Build and own the implementation plan per account, with 30/60/90 milestones the customer has agreed to
- Configure and maintain customer accounts: cost data, product preferences, catalogs, estimate formats, and presets — validated against real estimates
- Train customer users and build the training materials that scale that process
- Own first-line support: answer customer questions same day and escalate bugs with reproducible steps and customer impact
- Translate customer requirements and feedback into structured, prioritized specs for our forward-deployed engineers, researchers, and product team
- Review customer usage weekly per account and work adoption blockers with the team
- Prepare and run customer check-ins and business reviews
- Build the repeatable playbook: onboarding checklist, configuration standards, support process

## About you

- You've personally done takeoffs from drawings and built estimates and material lists — residential or commercial. This is a requirement, and we'll verify it in the take-home.
- You have end-to-end knowledge of the construction process, including field and installation work. You know what a quantity means on site, can catch a missing scope, and can explain it in a customer's language.
- You've trained people, supported accounts, or managed customer relationships. You're comfortable in front of a room of estimators, purchasing staff, or sales reps.
- You're a clear writer who gets the details right. You can turn a customer conversation into a precise requirement or a reproducible bug report someone else can act on.
- You use AI tools every day and can teach them to someone who doesn't.
- Bonus: experience with takeoff software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam, OST), estimating or construction management platforms (Buildertrend, JobTread, Procore), software implementation or onboarding, procurement/purchasing at a material supplier, or working alongside product or engineering teams.

## What we offer

- Competitive Salary + Equity
- Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
- 401(k)
- Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
- Life & Disability Insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Dependent Care FSA (DC FSA)
- Relocation Allowance
- Top-Notch Equipment
- Team offsites around the world!

Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, and it's still running on spreadsheets and gut feel. We're changing that. This role puts you at the center of it — working directly with the customers building our product's future, and bringing your construction expertise into a company that will actually use it. If that sounds like your kind of work, we'd love to hear from you.

## About Handoff

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Handoff builds AI-native construction estimating and business management software for residential contractors.
- **Entity Type**: Private, venture-backed (YC W20, raised $5.9M–$20M)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, USA (with hubs in São Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina)
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed; originally developed by the team behind 1build, a YC‑backed construction pricing platform

## Core Business
- **Industries**: Construction technology (Contech), Artificial Intelligence, SaaS
- **Target Customers**: B2B – residential remodeling contractors and handymen (SMBs)
- **Mission/Purpose**: Replace the hours contractors spend on manual estimates with fast, accurate, AI‑powered automation so they can focus on running their businesses

## Products & Services
- **[Handoff AI Estimator](https://handoff.ai)**: An AI platform that generates detailed, localized construction cost estimates from blueprints, photos, or simple descriptions. It uses the proprietary **H1 model** to autonomously produce material takeoffs and cost breakdowns in minutes.
- **[Handoff Business Suite](https://handoff.ai)**: Integrated tools for client management, proposal generation, invoicing, pricing, and reputation management – all built to run a contractor’s entire operation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metrics**:
  - Annual Revenue: $5M–$25M (LinkedIn estimate; not officially confirmed)
  - Total Funding: $5.9M (LinkedIn) **or** $20M (as part of parent 1build’s fundraising; conflicting reports)
  - **Growth**: 166.7% YoY headcount growth (58 employees), processing over 3,600 contractor estimates, and counting
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (W20 batch), top Silicon Valley VCs (via 1build – names not specified). One of the world’s largest construction suppliers uses H1 across all its locations.
- **Growth Signals**: Released H1, the first AI takeoff model that beats human estimators (81.6% vs 77.6% accuracy); expanding globally; hiring aggressively across engineering, sales, and marketing.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Superior AI**: H1 model achieves 81.6% accuracy on real blueprints – ahead of both human estimators (77.6%) and general frontier models (61.4%).
- **Niche Focus**: Built exclusively for residential contractors, unlike generic “for everyone” AI tools.
- **Data Moat**: Access to localized construction cost data from 1build’s existing integration network and materials supplier partnerships.
- **Speed Culture**: Weekly product shipping, lean teams, and fast decision-making that outpace larger competitors.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale adoption of the H1 model among the 600,000+ US remodeling contractors.
- Strengthen supplier integrations and win enterprise accounts (e.g., large material suppliers).
- Maintain high talent density by hiring “owners, not task-doers” across engineering, sales, and marketing.
- Keep hubs in US, Brazil, and Argentina to tap diverse talent while preserving synchronous collaboration.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High bar, radical ownership, and direct communication. Titles don’t limit scope – engineers build product, marketers build systems.
- **Work Model**: Austin is fully onsite; São Paulo and Buenos Aires are hybrid (3 days/week in office). Relocation allowance for roles that require moving to a hub.
- **Perks**: Unlimited PTO, stock options for all full-time employees, and a no‑ghosting interview process.
- **Engineering & AI**: AI is not just the product – it’s embedded in how the company sells, recruits, codes, and improves workflows. Engineers ship weekly and own problems end‑to-end.
- **Interview Process**: 5–6 steps in 2–3 weeks, including a take-home on a real problem. AI tools are explicitly allowed. [handoff.ai](https://www.handoff.ai/careers/interview-guide)
- **Growth**: Small team by design → more ownership, faster feedback loops, and faster scope growth than at bigger companies.
