About The Position

Rebuild is an operating system for restoration contractors who specialize in mitigating damage to homes and rebuilding them after disasters hit. AI is empowering us to meet this moment. Our initial product enables contractors to generate insurance-compliant estimates in just a few minutes, allowing them to properly get reimbursed for the work they do, get to more jobs, and repair more homes. This is just our first step towards improving the everyday efficiency of these contractors. Climate change estimates over $210 Billion dollars in damages to property, and Rebuild is tackling the massive opportunity to help restorers move more efficiently and accurately, starting with the estimate. We raised our Series A in Q3 2026 from Asymmetric Capital Partners with follow-ons from our earlier investors, Gutter Capital and 25 Madison.

Requirements

• Proven track record shipping production code and comfortable sitting across the table from customers.
• Full-stack development and self-sufficient. You can build the backend, the UI, and the data plumbing without waiting on anyone.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You can scope your own work from a single customer conversation and start building.

Nice To Haves

• You've had a flood, fire, or burst pipe in your own home, and you remember what the weeks afterward were actually like.
• Mobile experience. Our users aren't at a desk. They're on a phone in a gutted kitchen.
• You've done the unglamorous data work that makes messy real-world inputs usable.

Responsibilities

• Apply AI to our customers' hardest problems from inside their accounts rather than from a ticket queue.
• Fly out, sit with restoration contractors in their offices and on disaster sites, and watch how properties are actually restored, work is documented, and estimates actually get written.
• Find the gaps and build the fix that applies our tools to solve their problems.
• Get new accounts from signed to fully up and running.
• Handle whatever it takes to make Rebuild fit the way each customer already works.
• Prototype and ship account-specific solutions fast, then work with product and engineering to fold the winners into the platform.
• Turn what you learn on site into specs and priorities the whole company acts on.

Benefits

• $120,000 - $150,000 annual salary. Estimated salary range is inclusive of multiple levels and will be narrowed in the interview process.
• Generous equity compensation
• Medical, Vision, and Dental Insurance
• Flexible Vacation
• The Rebuild team prides itself on our office culture, and we have thoughtful programming, fun events, exposure to our investor network, and continuous learning fireside chats on a regular basis
