Our platform enables companies to easily manage all aspects of their projects from start to finish, both internally and with other project participants. Joining INGENIOUS.BUILD means embarking on an incredible journey to create the first cloud application for managing the entire lifecycle of a real estate construction project. You'll be building what some consider the holy grail of construction project management. It's a big, bold, and audacious endeavor, and if you have what it takes, you'll play a direct role in its development. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll be directly involved in its development. The rest, as they say, will be history... INGENIOUS.BUILD is building the operating system for construction and real estate development. We work with some of the largest organizations in the world, and the features our engineers build help teams manage some of the biggest investments being made today. If we succeed, a large share of the world's important infrastructure will be planned, built, and reported on through our platform. We're a product-driven engineering organization. Engineers here don't just take tickets. They understand the customer, challenge proposed solutions, and shape what gets built. We're also going all-in on AI. We treat it as a way to deliver more value to customers, not just to write code faster. ## About the role We're looking for a Developer Team Lead to lead one of our web product teams. This is a small, senior, highly autonomous team. You won't be supervising juniors. You'll be a partner to experienced engineers: bringing the team together, building the right processes, and keeping the team efficient, aligned, and focused on the right problems. The role combines hands-on engineering and leadership. You'll write code, make architectural decisions, and lead the team's AI adoption, while also owning people management, planning, and prioritization. You'll report directly to the Engineering Director. You'll work closely with a Product Manager and a dedicated Product Designer, and alongside other team leads and our DevOps team. ## What you'll do Lead the team - Run regular 1:1s, monitor performance, and support each engineer's growth, including compensation and career conversations. - Own the team's high-level planning and prioritization, together with Product and Design. - Build and improve the processes that keep a senior team synchronized and effective, without adding bureaucracy. - Take part in hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews. Drive AI adoption - Lead the AI transformation in your team. Set the pace instead of waiting for it to be defined for you. - Go beyond basic prompting. Use AI to research unfamiliar systems, identify gaps, automate repetitive work, and speed up delivery. - Experiment with new tools and workflows, standardize what works, and share it with your team and across engineering. - Look for ways AI can deliver business value: lower costs, shorter delivery times, higher quality, and solutions that weren't practical before. Build the product - Stay hands-on: write code, review code, and own the technical direction of your team's modules. - Make sound architectural decisions in a large modular monolith. - Use customer insights to challenge solutions, propose improvements, and help decide what to build and in what order. - Keep improving the codebase by reducing legacy code, adding tests, and keeping dependencies current. Our tech and engineering approach - Stack: PHP 8.5, Laravel 13, PostgreSQL - Architecture: a large modular monolith. Modules communicate through facades, adapters, or events, which keeps boundaries clear. More complex modules use DDD. - Philosophy: code that's easy to test and reason about. Business logic lives in clear PHP classes, separate from the framework, with no "magic." - Quality: pipelines with PHPStan, PHPCS, and unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, all supporting automatic deployments. DevOps owns infrastructure, so you can focus on building. - AI tooling: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and whatever else helps us move faster. We revisit our tools regularly because they improve quickly. ## What we're looking for Must-haves - People management experience. You've already led developers, including 1:1s, performance, and team processes. This isn't a first step into management. - Strong backend engineering. Advanced PHP 8.1+ with Laravel or Symfony, and experience building large, scalable applications. - Technical leadership and architecture. You've led the technical side of complex projects: making design decisions, not just carrying them out. - Hands-on AI adoption. You already use AI tools in your daily engineering work and are excited to push further. You don't need deep AI expertise, but you do need the energy to lead this. - Product mindset. You care about the "why," think about business impact, and want to shape solutions, not just implement specs. - Testing. Solid experience with PHPUnit and a good testing strategy across unit, integration, and functional tests. - English at B2 level or higher. Nice-to-haves - Experience with modular monoliths (microservices experience also counts) - Practical experience with Domain-Driven Design - Background in SaaS, especially large systems like ERP, CRM, or CMS - Experience in startups or scale-ups where engineers work directly with product decisions The kind of person who thrives here - Curious. You enjoy learning, and you revisit your opinions as tools and practices change. - Proactive. You spot problems and opportunities and act on them. You can point to improvements you proposed that were adopted. - Driven. You have the grit to take on hard problems and want to be part of something that could reshape an industry. - A partner. Senior engineers respect you because you support them, not because you manage them closely. ## What we offer - Stock options, so you share in the company's growth - Flexible working hours and a minimal-meetings culture - Unlimited PTO - A high-performance company laptop - One-time $500 budget to set up your workspace - $50 per month for education, rolling over until year-end - Licenses for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and PhpStorm We're fired up to learn more about you to see how you can help us on our mission! We genuinely look forward to receiving your application after submitting your information a member from the Recruitment Team will reach out accordingly. ## About INGENIOUS.BUILD ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: INGENIOUS.BUILD provides a cloud-based construction project management platform that unifies owners, developers, general contractors, architects, and specialty trades under one data stream to manage project financials, documents, and workflows from pre-construction to closeout. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: Nashville, Tennessee, United States - **Founded**: 2016 - **Founders**: Nick Carter (Founder & CEO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Construction Technology (CREtech) / Software Development - **Target customers**: B2B — owners, developers, owner’s reps, general contractors, architects, engineers, and specialty trades managing complex construction projects. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To eliminate internal and external fragmentation while creating a sustainable, collaborative community and furthering innovation possibilities. ## Products & Services - **INGENIOUS.BUILD Platform**: An integrated cloud-based application with three core modules — Project Financials (budgets, commitments, forecasts, approvals, invoices, pay applications, change orders), Project Management (documents, workflows, reporting), and Construction Administration.
