The posting, as BuildOps wrote it

At BuildOps, we’re building software purpose-built for commercial contractors. From service to projects, we help our customers run the workflows that keep buildings, businesses, and critical infrastructure operating.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale the product experiences and systems behind that mission. In this role, you’ll work across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, and integrations that power high-impact workflows for our customers. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design to solve complex problems, improve reliability and usability, and deliver software that creates real customer and business impact.

This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys owning meaningful technical problems end to end, navigating ambiguity with sound judgment, and helping raise the bar for engineering quality across the team. You should be energized by building in a fast-moving environment, mentoring others, and using AI as a practical force multiplier in your day-to-day work.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate ambiguous problems into clear technical plans and well-scoped milestones
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong bias toward simplicity, reliability, and long-term extensibility
  • Build user-facing experiences and supporting APIs that work well across client, service, and data boundaries

  • Proactively identify technical risks, cross-team dependencies, and sources of toil before they become execution bottlenecks
  • Contribute to design reviews, technical discussions, and architecture decisions with clear thinking and sound judgment
  • Mentor less-experienced engineers through code review, technical guidance, and example-setting
  • Help strengthen engineering culture by sharing knowledge, improving standards, and contributing to a collaborative, high-accountability environment
  • Leverage AI tools thoughtfully across development, debugging, documentation, and workflow acceleration while maintaining strong engineering judgment

What We Look For

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building product features across frontend and backend systems
  • Experience building reliable APIs, services, and user-facing applications in a modern production environment
  • Strong software des
