## Job description

## POWER TO THE BUYERS

BRM is growing our team of passionate teammates on a mission to arm people with the right tools to do their best work. BRM’s digital assistants automagically help companies find and manage tools. Whether it is collaborating on a renewal, locating misplaced contracts, intelligently negotiating, or automating compliance reviews––BRM’s assistants are bringing power back to the buyer!

## WHY WE NEED YOU

We're at a pivotal moment with a roadmap brimming with opportunity. We're looking for a senior software engineer to not only amplify our development horsepower but also catalyze projects forward with precision and impact, taking end to end ownership.

From revolutionizing the inbox experience to refining legal and finance request workflows, and empowering AI-driven assistants, your mission is clear: deliver tangible business value swiftly and effectively. We need a bias towards action, coupled with a relentless focus on delivering results that transform possibilities into realities. Your expertise will shape the future of intelligent automation and redefine what's possible in the realms of AI-driven solutions.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Design, develop, and maintain high-quality software solutions using TypeScript, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, LLMs (GPT, Claude, etc), Docker, and other modern technologies.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into scalable and efficient code.
- Participate in and influence code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical planning sessions to ensure code quality and scalability.
- Take ownership of key components and features, from design to deployment, and drive them to completion with a focus on performance, reliability, and security.
- Contribute to the evolution of our technical architecture and infrastructure, leveraging cloud services such as GCP to optimize performance and scalability.

## WHO YOU ARE

- Experience. 8+ years of experience as an engineer on a high-performing team at a B2B SaaS company.
- Bias for action. You value shipped code over theory.
- Hands-on coder. You are looking to stay in the weeds and code. You have expert experience with TypeScript, NodeJS, at least one cloud service provider  and a strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and services.
- Database expert. Strong understanding of database technologies, including PostgreSQL and Redis, and experience with designing and optimizing database schemas.
- Containerization experience. Proficiency in containerization technologies such as Docker and container orchestration platforms like Google Cloud Run or Kubernetes.
- Solution-seeking. Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for tackling complex technical challenges.
- Operations-first. Operationally minded and forward thinking – you document important things to share context now and in the future; have experience explaining ‘why’ you’ve made decisions.
- Effective collaboration. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

## THIS ROLE ISN’T RIGHT FOR YOU IF

- You prefer remote and asynchronous collaboration.
- You are uncomfortable working autonomously when needed and shy away from responsibility and ownership.
- You care about being right, rather than getting to the right answer.

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of any status protected under federal, state, or local law.

## About BRM

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: BRM is an AI-powered vendor and procurement management platform that helps companies automate and streamline how they buy, manage, and renew software and vendor contracts.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: James McGillicuddy (CEO & Co-founder) and Fabian Frank

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Enterprise Software, Procurement Technology, Vendor Management, AI
- **Target customers**: B2B — Finance, Legal, Compliance, and IT teams at mid-market and enterprise companies
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To shift power from sellers to buyers. BRM aims to transform confusing contracts, endless compliance tasks, and runaway spend into an AI-powered source of record.

## Products & Services
- **BRM Platform**: An AI-native, collaborative buying platform that centralizes vendor data, spend management, contracts, HRIS, and ERPs. It provides a single system of record for all vendor relationships.
- **AI SuperAgents**: A team of specialized AI agents that perform procurement tasks autonomously:
  - **Contract Collector**: Finds misplaced contracts and vendor documents from inboxes and disparate systems.
  - **Renewal Wrangler**: Tracks all renewal dates and provides recommendations on whether to renew, renegotiate, or cancel.
  - **Pricer**: Analyzes pricing packages against budget and needs to recommend the best option.
  - **Compliance Crawler**: Searches the web and private documents to assess vendor compliance posture and reduce risk.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: **Total Funding** — $21.6M raised in two rounds
  - Seed Round (Dec 2024): $6.6M led by Base10 Partners
  - Series A (Dec 2024): $15M led by Caffeinated Capital, with participation from Definition Capital, Original Capital, and Friends & Family
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Caffeinated Capital, Base10 Partners, Definition Capital, Original Capital. Also backed by prominent angel investors from Carta, Sourcegraph, and RelateIQ.
- **Growth Signals**: Employs ~16 people (+7.1% YoY headcount growth as of mid-2026). Customers include **Tegus**, **Public**, and **Cadence**. Has 2 active job postings for Senior Software Engineer and Account Executive.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-First Approach**: Unlike traditional procurement tools that are manual and bloated, BRM is built from the ground up as an AI-powered platform with autonomous "SuperAgents" that perform tasks humans previously struggled to do (e.g., crawling contracts, assessing compliance).
- **Unified System of Record**: Centralizes vendor data that is typically scattered across Finance, Legal, Compliance, Risk, and IT — eliminating silos and manual toil.
- **Founder-Market Fit**: Co-founders have deep personal experience with the pain of enterprise buying, having built companies like Carta, Sourcegraph, and RelateIQ.
- **Pricing Simplicity**: "You pay for the vendors our SuperAgents manage. That’s it." — straightforward, value-based pricing.

## Strategic Focus
- **Product Expansion**: Continuously developing new SuperAgents (including one targeting salespeople's negotiation tactics).
- **Talent Acquisition**: Building a world-class, in-person team in San Francisco to solve hard technical problems.
- **Market Penetration**: Targeting high-growth companies (like Public, Tegus) that need procurement speed without bureaucracy.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a "superteam" of experienced builders with a high-agency, low-bureaucracy ethos. Values include "Hard things, high agency, and tape that doesn't lie."
- **Work Model**: Fully **in-office** at their San Francisco office near 4th & King (Mission Bay/SoMa area).
- **Perks**: Competitive compensation with salary, equity, health, dental, vision, 401(k), lunch, commuter benefits. Team lunches, game nights, annual Oktoberfest party, Friday demos, and a "Golden TAPE Trophy" awarded weekly.
- **Engineering Culture**: Builders from top companies (Carta, Sourcegraph, RelateIQ). Emphasizes "every line of code" and "every customer outcome" being counted.
- **Impact**: High ownership and agency — you work directly on a mission to "shift power from sellers to buyers" in a massive, underserved market.
