We’re building the Revit tools you wish existed. Our platform helps architects and engineers manage content, track usage, and make smarter decisions with less hassle.
We’re looking for a backend-focused engineer who enjoys building clean APIs, designing resilient systems, and keeping things fast, simple, and secure. Someone who’s comfortable working in PHP, knows their way around Docker, and can help us make the most of AWS to ship reliable software at speed.
What You'll DoBuild and maintain backend services in modern PHP
Design and implement APIs consumed by our frontend and desktop apps
Use Docker to standardize development and streamline deployments
Work with AWS services (e.g. ECS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) to keep our systems fast and reliable
Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to ship features
Write tests and monitor performance so we can trust our stack at scale
You don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what would help you succeed:
Strong experience with PHP (we use PHP 8+)
Familiarity with containerized environments using Docker
Product mindset — you think in terms of user value, not just technical correctness
