# Software Engineer (Platform) at Eagle

- **Company:** Eagle
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-28
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-05

## Job description

## ABOUT EAGLE

We’re on a mission to radically transform the way we design and construct our built environment.

Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Eagle transforms civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms with applied AI. We’re an AI laboratory dedicated to providing engineers with the tools they need to solve the world’s hardest infrastructure, energy, and climate problems.

By arming designers with frontier technology, our ambition is to build the most valuable, talent-dense engineering firm in the United States.

## THE OPPORTUNITY

Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession. Our plan is to close it by building purpose-built tools for their staff, and compounding that proprietary intelligence across customers.

That plan has a platform problem at its center. For each firm we engage with, we need to show up with increasing product leverage. You'd own the substrate that allows us to compound, work directly with the CTO, and get a front-row seat to building a company from zero on a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the system architecture that's shared across our forward deployed engineers (data ingestion, API design, authorization, our broader hybrid RAG system)
- Own our multi-tenant architecture where each firm is a new tenant, a new identity domain, and a new set of source systems to connect to
- Contribute to the delivery path from commit to production: CI/CD, preview environments, test infrastructure, a local setup that works on day one
- Shape what "up" means for us, instrument it, and contribute to our observability and incident management practice

## WHAT WE LOOK FOR

- You've owned architecture decisions within large distributed systems and have specific opinions about what you'd do differently next time
- You treat the FDE experience as a product with users
- Deep curiosity for how things work: an organization, a workflow, a market
- You aren't afraid to expose your ignorance, and you constantly ask why
- Are willing to get on a plane with us
- A desire to engage directly with the civil engineers we build for to understand their needs

## TECHNOLOGY

- Frontend: NextJS on Vercel, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Kotlin for web services, Python for data
- Infra: Multitenant shared infra on AWS

## COMPENSATION

- Competitive cash compensation ($150K–$300K depending on experience)
- Founding equity, scaled to scope
- Full healthcare benefits
- In-person office in NYC

## About Eagle

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Eagle is an AI-native platform and strategic partner that acquires and scales civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms by embedding proprietary AI tools into their workflows.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed-stage, backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Mayank Mardia, Sohum Daftary, Thomas Shouler

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Engineering Services (AEC — Architecture, Engineering, Construction) / Applied AI
- **Target customers**: AEC firms (civil, structural, MEP engineering firms) — B2B, enterprise-focused partnership model
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Unleashing engineering for the built environment" — on a mission to flip the script by arming engineers with frontier technology instead of replacing them [eagleeng.com](https://www.eagleeng.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Eagle Platform (AI Operating System for AEC)**: A suite of proprietary AI tools built for engineering firms. Key modules include:
  - **Proposal Generation**: AI drafts 100-page proposals in hours from past work and firm standards.
  - **Opportunity Intelligence**: Combines public and private data to surface leads before RFPs drop.
  - **Relationship Mapping**: AI maps decision-makers, tracks job changes, and surfaces warm connections.
  - **Document Intelligence & Structured Knowledge Store**: Automates drafting, calculations, and documentation; integrates LLMs and multimodal models into production workflows.
- **Acquisition & Transformation Model**: Eagle acquires engineering firms and embeds its tech team to build custom tools alongside existing engineers — the firm’s brand, team, and culture stay the same.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private, seed-stage startup)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding amount not publicly disclosed; backed by **Lightspeed Venture Partners** (a global VC)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lightspeed Venture Partners (lead investor); Advisors include **Carl Bass** (former President & CEO of Autodesk) and **Finlay McLay** (former CEO of Consertus, former COO of Cumming)
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Founded in 2025 with only 2 employees initially; LinkedIn shows 2 employees with +16.7% monthly growth [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/eagleengtech)
  - Website traffic growing +133.6% month-over-month (2,130 monthly visits, 100% US-based) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/eagleengtech)
  - Actively hiring founding technical staff (Applied AI Engineer, Member of Technical Staff, Forward Deployed Engineer) [careerbuilder.com](https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/member-of-technical-staff-new-york-ny--190b018e-4ac6-4b1e-a306-fcaf2b5bc747) [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/job/applied-ai-engineer/8601552)

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover in AI-native AEC consolidation**: Eagle is building the first AI-native engineering design firm by acquiring and transforming existing firms rather than competing with them — a unique roll-up strategy with embedded tech.
- **Deep domain expertise**: Founders combine structural/civil engineering backgrounds (Arup, Palantir) with AI/software development (Bloomberg, Ethic, Pivotal) and investment experience (Long Ridge, Arena).
- **Purpose-built AI for a legacy industry**: Unlike generic AI tools, Eagle builds custom spatial reasoning models, CAD file parsers, and regulatory compliance agents specifically for infrastructure engineering.
- **Advisory board strength**: Carl Bass (former Autodesk CEO) provides credibility and deep AEC industry connections.

## Strategic Focus
- **Acquire and transform**: Identify and acquire civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms, then embed Eagle's AI platform to multiply their output without changing their brand or culture.
- **Build the AI operating system for engineering**: Develop a platform that automates the 85% of grunt work (drafting, calculations, documentation, proposals) so engineers can focus on design.
- **Talent density**: Hire founding technical staff who can embed with engineering teams, understand workflows, and build production AI — aiming to become "the most valuable, talent-dense engineering firm in the United States" [careerbuilder.com](https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/member-of-technical-staff-new-york-ny--190b018e-4ac6-4b1e-a306-fcaf2b5bc747)
- **National infrastructure focus**: Targeting water systems, power utilities, bridges, and transportation to meet the country's generational energy, climate, and infrastructure needs.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven impact**: Work on the hardest infrastructure, energy, and climate problems in the U.S. with direct impact on the built environment.
- **Founding team access**: As a seed-stage company, early hires work directly with the founders (Mayank, Sohum, Thomas) on architecture decisions, firm acquisitions, and product strategy — building from zero.
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on curiosity, deep technical work, and "getting your hands dirty" — candidates who are "not above any task" (writing web scrapers, helping users, building Windows native plugins) are valued.
- **Compensation**: Competitive cash ($150K–$300K depending on experience) + founding equity scaled to scope [careerbuilder.com](https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/member-of-technical-staff-new-york-ny--190b018e-4ac6-4b1e-a306-fcaf2b5bc747)
- **Location**: In-person office in **New York City** (onsite/hybrid — job postings specify NYC) [careerbuilder.com](https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/member-of-technical-staff-new-york-ny--190b018e-4ac6-4b1e-a306-fcaf2b5bc747)
- **Benefits**: Full healthcare benefits included [careerbuilder.com](https://www.careerbuilder.com/job-details/member-of-technical-staff-new-york-ny--190b018e-4ac6-4b1e-a306-fcaf2b5bc747)
- **Learning opportunity**: Deep exposure to AEC domain, LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, computer vision, CAD/spatial data — a rare intersection of AI and civil engineering.
