Engineering Lead

ABOUT US Ediphi https://www.ediphi.com/ offers the most comprehensive cloud-based estimating and preconstruction solution on the market. Our goal is to reduce the time spent in preconstruction, enabling projects to break ground more quickly and estimators to feel more confident in their work. We started when Michael Navarro, an estimating pro at Suffolk, knew there was a better way than relying on spreadsheet nightmares. He began creating a solution built by estimators, for estimators. He teamed up with Dustin DeVan, founder of BuildingConnected (acquired by Autodesk for $275 million https://adsknews.autodesk.com/en/pressrelease/autodesk-to-acquire-buildingconnected/), to launch Ediphi in 2023. With a $12M Series A https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ediphi-announces-12-million-series-a-funding-from-norwest-venture-partners-to-expand-team-and-enhance-cloud-based-estimating-solution-for-preconstruction-302096090.html?tc=eml_cleartime round led by Norwest Venture Partners and with ongoing participation from Suffolk Technologies, Ediphi continues to grow as a SaaS offering for General Contractors around the country. ABOUT THIS ROLE The role We’re looking for an Engineering Lead to manage one of our feature teams. We work in a Trifecta model https://leaddev.com/communication/trifecta-model-bringing-together-engineering-product-and-design, meaning you’ll partner closely with a Product Manager and Designer to shape the team’s roadmap, empower engineers to grow, and ensure we ship high-quality software that solves real problems for our customers. At Ediphi, we’re building diverse teams from all backgrounds who share similar values https://www.ediphi.com/about to ours. If you don’t feel you check all the experiences and qualifications we’re looking for, we still encourage you to apply! What you’ll do - Directly lead and mentor a group of 2–4 engineers. This includes regular 1:1s and helping to facilitate a (very lightweight) twice-a-year 360 review cycle. - Collaborate closely with your Product Manager and Designer partners. At Ediphi, Engineering is involved early: helping to shape our understanding of customer problems, co-crafting solutions, and then driving execution. - Foster technical excellence. Partner with engineers to drive smart technical decisions while keeping speed, scalability, and quality in balance. - Be hands-on. Whether reviewing code, contributing to architecture, or helping remove roadblocks, you’ll lead by example. - Work in a distributed, remote environment. We use tools like Slack, Notion, and Loom for async collaboration, and typically have team meetings between 8-11 PT. What we’re looking for - Prior experience leading. This could be as a technical lead rather than a engineering manager, but either way: you should enjoy helping others to grow. - Customer-centric mindset. You don’t just focus on how to implement things, you also enjoy discussing and deeply understanding the “why”. - Collaborative working style. You enjoy working closely across disciplines to find creative solutions to problems together. - Strong communication skills. You ask clarifying questions, work to make sure every voice is heard, and help shepherd discussions toward concrete conclusions. - Pragmatic AI enthusiasm. You’re excited to help a team continuously improve how they use AI to not only ship things faster but also increase our understanding of our customers and our codebase. - Attention to quality and correctness. An inaccurate construction estimate can have severe impacts on a company’s financials, so it is extra important we keep quality in mind throughout the entire development process. - Proficiency in modern web tech. Preferably our stack: Node.js, React, TypeScript, and Postgres. - Bonus: you've worked in construction tech or fintech. Why take on this role? - Real impact. Help shape the culture, direction, and success of a fast-moving startup. - Supportive leadership team. Work with experienced leaders who prioritize gro…
