Founding Engineer - Full Stack
About The Position
Muro AI is transforming how the $2T construction industry plans and builds. Founded by Cornell alumni, ex-founders, and former McKinsey operators, we’re building AI agents that automate the most complex, manual, and costly phase of construction: preconstruction. We move fast, build with conviction, and obsess over delivering real impact to the people who build our world. If you want to shape how the next century of construction gets built, this is where it starts. Who You Are A true builder with 4+ years of technical experience. You’ve lived the 0→1 chaos — maybe you co-founded something, or led a team through the trenches. You know that the good (fast growth) and the ugly (2 AM patches) come with the territory. You’re scrappy, curious, and energized by uncharted problems. Why It Matters Shape a category. No one owns “pre-con AI” yet — we’re charting that map. Bridge two worlds. We’re redefining how construction tech meets AI — your work will connect human workflows with intelligent systems at scale. Drive impact. Your platform will help contractors close multi-million-dollar bids and save hundreds of hours per project. Real Talk You’ll context switch between React components and database indexes daily. When enterprise customers ask “but is it secure?” — that’s on you. If you love clean code, stable systems, and making other engineers productive, you’ll thrive.
