ABOUT SITELINE

Siteline is a Series A SaaS startup in the construction billing space. Were a team of 28 full-time employees who live and work remotely across the U.S. and Canada, with a small in-person office in San Francisco as well.

What problems are we solving?

Were on a mission to modernize finance for construction, an industry that employs 1 out of every 10 workers, but lacks good software tools to get the job done. Payments in construction are fundamentally broken — the antiquated billing process hasnt evolved in decades, and construction is one of the slowest industries to get paid in. Weve found a unique wedge into this huge market and are growing quickly.

Why are we building this?

Millions of hardworking people are affected by this broken system — in turn making construction more expensive and inefficient for society every year. When everyone up and down the chain is on the same page with payments, contractors can focus on actually building, instead of mountains of paperwork. We’re reimagining construction finance to help contractors get paid, grow their business, and build a better future for all of us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a senior member of our small but mighty engineering team, youll work closely with our cross-functional product team to conceptualize, implement, and ship features from start to finish, as well as own the maintenance and evolution of our backend tech stack and infrastructure. Whether iterating on core workflows, driving product initiatives, or building critical infrastructure, youll be thinking nonstop about how to improve our customers experience and scale the product. And, youll be an early member of the Siteline team and lend your unique voice and perspective to the shaping of not just the product, but the company itself.

Siteline is headquartered in San Francisco. We value collaboration; this position is based in our San Francisco HQ where our eng team works together in-office 3-4 days a week. Were big believers in trust and in a healthy work/life balance: we want you to be productive and connected with the team, but were not here to micromanage.

Responsibilities

Technical leadership: Employ software engineering best practices to ensure our codebase remains well-tested and bug-free. As an early engineer, you’ll have a prominent voice in engineering decisions and technical direction across the stack.
Infrastructure: Guide the future of our tech stack. To support greater usage and a larger customer base, our infrastructure needs to evolve, as does the way we store, query, and process data. You’ll not only be a key decision-maker, but will anticipate technical constraints and proactively find and engineer solutions.
Integrations: Build and maintain robust integrations with third-party platforms—some modern and well-documented, others more outdated and opaque. You’ll grow to be a leader on the team’s integrations ecosystem and an expert on our external-facing systems and solutions.
Systems design: Independently drive decisions on software architecture, data modeling, and infrastructure that scale with our customer base and perform reliably for our users.
Product development: Work closely with the engineering and product team to plan, architect, and implement features. Your work will lean heavily toward the backend and API, but you’ll collaborate closely with frontend engineers and always think holistically about the product.
Team building: Be an active part of shaping Sitelines culture, helping to recruit and mentor new team members and cultivating a positive, inclusive, and collaborative work environment.

WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR

Experience: Minimum of 4-6 years of professional software experience, including meaningful backend experience and exposure to full-stack work. Youve designed and scaled complex backend systems, worked with internal and external APIs, and shipped to real customers on a regular basis.
Modern tech: Familiarity working with Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, React, and Postgres.
Problem solver: Youre good at understanding and breaking down complex problems. You are resourceful and comfortable with ambiguity, and can make good decisions and forward progress even when requirements are unclear.
Product focused: You take pride in building scalable, resilient software that delights users and advances the company’s business objectives.
Great communicator: You engage thoughtfully and effectively with others, and youre an attentive and empathetic listener. You can adapt your communication style to different audiences and confidently break down tricky topics in writing and in person.
Growth mindset: Youre eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and receptive to feedback.

Brownie Points

Growth-phase startup: Youve worked in a fast-paced startup environment in the past and are excited to do it again. You have experience managing infrastructure to support rapid growth and product usage at scale.
Leadership: You have experience mentoring fellow team members and are considered a leader among your peers. Youre approachable and enjoy helping others on the team continually grow.
Creativity: You like to express yourself creatively through hobbies or interests outside of coding, and feel inspired to think outside the box in and away from your job.

WHAT WE OFFER

Competitive Salary: We provide a salary that reflects your skills and experience, along with opportunities for performance-based bonuses. For this role, we are targeting a range of $168-200k USD annually, depending on experience.
Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy the freedom to choose your work hours and the option to work remotely, promoting a healthy work-life balance. We have a small office in SF, but most of our team works remotely across the U.S. and Canada. Please note again that this specific role is SF-based and in-office 3-4 days a week.
Health & Wellness Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance at 100% coverage for employees and 50% for dependents. We offer free annual One Medical memberships, HSAs and FSAs, dependent care coverage, access to free Talkspace mental health therapy, commuter stipends for SF team members, and more. Youll also have access to free consultations with HealthAdvocate, where experts can help you choose the best specific health plans for you and your family.
Professional Development: Annual $1K learning stipend to use toward classes, certifications, conferences, or other meaningful career development.
Collaborative Culture: Join a supportive team that values creativity, innovation, and open communication, where your ideas are encouraged and celebrated.
Equity Options: As a startup, we offer equity options to ensure that you share in our success as we grow together.
Paid Time Off: Unlimited PTO policy with an encouraged three-week annual minimum.
Team Events: We regularly host virtual team social activities and happy hours, and travel to meet in-person 1-2 times a year.

Company values

Move Quickly, Together

Speed is our advantage, but alignment is our path to victory. We will go farthest, fastest if we work in unison. Prioritize the mission, establish clear owners and deliverables, and execute with confidence.

Reach for the Sky

We are curious, open-minded, and courageous. We challenge ourselves and each other to ask more questions, push boundaries, and deliver excellence every day.

Run Lean

Construction is a scrappy industry where companies must do more with less. Same here. Operate efficiently, optimize strategically, and always get the most bang for our buck.

Be the Steel

Builds fail when the foundation is faulty. The same is true for us. Exercise good judgment, deliver on your commitments, and know your capacity—every base has its threshold, after all. Most importantly, back your teammates. We’re stronger than reinforced concrete when we support each other.

Build Our Fanbase

Our mission is to grow the size of the pie for everyone in construction. We only achieve that audacious goal if we keep our customers front and center. Work tenaciously to build smarter systems that solve real problems for our customers, positively impact their businesses and lives, and make them loyal fans.

Shoot Straight

We speak directly, candidly, and respectfully. We prioritize transparency, err on over-communicating, and understand that differing opinions and perspectives are part of a healthy company. Ultimately, it’s okay to disagree with—but still commit to—the chosen direction.

At Siteline, were looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesnt precisely match the job description.
