What You’ll Be a Part Of 

Working at Built In is the chance to help shape a fast-growing company. With venture funding of $30 million to date, we’re expanding not just our geographic footprint but our products and technology.

As a result, you’ll understand the impact of your work in a deeply personal, especially meaningful way.

We are looking for a dynamic individual to lead initiatives that broadly impact Built In engineering and our partners. In this role you will help to design and implement software solutions in an effort to deliver best in class experiences and capabilities for our customers and users. The ideal candidate is someone who is humble, forward thinking, proactive, and inspires others and communicates clearly in order to continually elevate this already high performing team. 

• Code systems and components that support wide-ranging product lines at Built In
• Document and lead the implementation of technical features, improvements and innovations
• Collaborate with Product & Technology teams to build new AI enabled features
• Manage the end-to-end development of software products, analyze issues at the system level and handle any complications that arise by implementing effective solutions
• Mentor other engineers to reinforce a culture of learning and teaching

• 10+ years of development experience in .Net on building highly scalable systems (Web and/or backend)
• Experience integrating AI into new or existing systems. Agentic workflow experience is a plus
• Expertise developing software on public cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Proficiency in Razor is a strong plus

• A proactive mindset and initiative, as you'll continually look for ways to improve performance, quality, and efficiency
• A proven track record of success in large-scale projects

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values: 

• Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
• Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
• Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead. 
• Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
• Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up. 
• Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business. 
• Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes. 

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory.
