## Job description

## ABOUT PROBOOK

Probook is the AI Operating System for the home services industry, transforming how plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses operate.

Our impact is real. Dispatching the right technician to the right job can mean the difference between a $300 "band-aid" fix and a $20,000 system replacement. By automating previously high-touch workflows around-the-clock, Probook ensures a consistent customer experience without the need for 24/7 live staffing. We unify our customers' processes into a single, scalable platform, giving businesses one place to run their entire dispatch operation.

## THE ROLE

You'll be the technical architect behind customer success, designing and implementing zero-defect system configurations that translate messy, real-world operations into precise software logic.

This role is for engineers who want to see their work drive immediate business outcomes. Setup quality is the leading predictor of retention and expansion. Your technical decisions directly determine customer success.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Engineer zero-defect implementations: Deeply understand business logic and configure systems that integrate seamlessly with complex operations. Proactively solve edge cases before they become escalations. You may use Claude to automate workflows, but you should not expect to be coding on a day-to-day basis
- Drive technical excellence: Write precise documentation, collaborate with engineering to surface product gaps, and inform roadmap decisions with real-world customer data.
- Shape the category: You're joining early enough to define how technical operations scale and establish best practices from scratch.

## WHO YOU ARE

Technical Foundation

- BS/BA in Computer Science or related technical field
- Strong programming fundamentals (Python, SQL, APIs, data structures)
- You learn systems fast and architect elegant solutions to messy problems

Operator Mindset

- You're a builder who wants to see immediate impact. You're energized by customer outcomes and business results, not just shipping features.
- You thrive in ambiguity and love the challenge of translating complex real-world operations into technical solutions.
- Obsessive attention to detail with zero tolerance for missed steps. You don't just follow processes, you optimize them.
- High agency: you make things happen rather than waiting for them to happen.

Judgment & Communication

- Exceptional written communication: you document with precision and clarity
- Strong business acumen: comfortable discussing ROI, pricing logic, and operational workflows
- You know when to solve problems independently, when to collaborate, and when to escalate

## REQUIREMENTS

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field
- 1-2 years in a technical role (exceptional new grads encouraged to apply)
- NYC-based and excited about in-office collaboration in a high-intensity environment
- Authorized to work in the United States

Why Join Probook?

- The Tailwinds: $700B industry with clear tailwinds: AI adoption, labor shortages, and generational transitions creating demand for operational modernization. We are defining the category, not fighting for share.
- The Traction: $XXM ARR in 18 months. Product-market fit proven; now we're scaling.
- Funding: $40M raised from Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz
- The Team: >60 people, our founding team comes from the space and has spent thousands of days onsite with our customers. We live the space. We're also becoming one of the most talent-dense start-ups in NYC (MIT, Harvard, UPenn M&T, Waterloo, Citadel, Palantir, ICPC world finalists, IMO Gold Medalists).
- The Opportunity: You'll have direct impact on company trajectory, define technical operations from the ground up, and build systems that become the backbone of a category-defining company.

## COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Equity: Meaningful early-stage equity.
- Salary: Up to $135K (Can flex depending on years of experience)
- Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision
- Perks: $500 monthly Ramp card for commuting, meals, gym, etc. (plus $25 in nightly meal delivery credit) and really good office snacks
- Access: Direct access to world-class investors and advisors

## About Probook

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Probook builds an AI-powered operating system for home services companies, automating dispatch, lead management, and customer communication to help trades businesses scale.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Home Services Software / AI / Vertical SaaS
- **Target customers**: Home services companies (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pressure washing, etc.) — primarily mid-market and enterprise operators with multiple locations and large dispatch teams
- **Mission or purpose statement**: Built by the trades, for the trades — to solve the hardest operational problems in home services with AI.

## Products & Services
- **Probook AI Operating System**: An all-in-one platform that automates dispatch, lead capture, outbound booking, and customer communication. Key features include:
  - **AI Dispatch**: Automatically matches technicians to jobs based on skills, location, and history; forecasts ETAs.
  - **Lead Capture & Chat Automation**: Handles 90% of customer chats automatically, capturing every lead from voice calls and web.
  - **Outbound Booking**: Automatically fills the board by working unsold estimates and outbounding to past customers.
  - **Full Context CRM**: All customer interactions in one place, with full history checks before jobs hit the board.
  - **Integrations**: Works natively with ServiceTitan and other industry tools.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Raised **$40M** in funding from Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) — announced on their homepage.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 3,518 LinkedIn followers (+2.8% monthly growth)

  - Describes itself as "the fastest-growing AI startup in New York"
  - Backed by two of the most prestigious VC firms in the world

## Competitive Advantages
- **Domain expertise**: Founders grew up in the trades; CEO George Eliadis ran a pressure washing business for 6 years. The team "came up in the trades" and deploys in person, configuring alongside customers.
- **Talent density**: Engineering team includes multiple ICPC World Finalists and IMO Gold Medalists — described as "more talent-dense than early Ramp."
- **GTM/CS expertise**: Leadership from Procore, Zocdoc, and other vertical SaaS leaders.
- **Focus on dispatch as the core**: Unlike other AI vendors, Probook is built around dispatch — the operational heart of home services — making it uniquely sticky.

## Strategic Focus
- **Category creation**: Building the "AI operating system for home services" — a new category-defining product.
- **Vertical depth**: Deep integration with existing tools (ServiceTitan) and workflows, rather than a horizontal AI play.
- **Scaling the team**: Actively hiring across engineering, sales, customer success, and operations to fuel rapid growth.
- **In-person deployment**: Hands-on, high-touch implementation to ensure outcomes — "stay on the hook for the results we sell."

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a "small, cracked team" with diverse professional backgrounds. The company emphasizes working on "harder and more real" problems than quant or big tech.
- **Talent density**: Opportunity to work alongside world-class engineers (ICPC finalists, IMO gold medalists) and operators from top vertical SaaS companies.
- **Impact**: Early-stage startup with a clear product-market fit and massive market opportunity — employees can have outsized influence.
- **Location**: Based in New York City (office in NYC). Roles are listed as full-time and in-office (New York).
- **Perks/Notable**: Backed by Sequoia and a16z; strong engineering culture; focus on solving real problems for real businesses.
