REMOTE FIRST / ENGINEERING (AI TEAM) / FULL-TIME

Who are we?

At Qflow we’re on a mission to transform one of the world’s most pollutive industries: Construction. We help them cut waste and reduce their carbon emissions by providing construction and development teams with the data-driven insights they need to deliver productive, profitable, and sustainable projects. Our team combines construction experience with software engineering and cutting-edge data science to deliver real-time alerts to risks and opportunities during construction.

After successfully raising an oversubscribed Series A investment round, our technical team is now growing. We are seeking a talented Software Engineer who is eager to contribute to building a sustainable future. If you are passionate about sustainability, believe that with cutting-edge technology we can address tangible issues, you value radical transparency, unstoppable tenacity and encourage collaboration and curiosity within your team, this opportunity is tailor-made for you.

Your team and your role

Our amazing, highly skilled and dedicated engineering team is looking for someone to join them and contribute to this exciting journey of growth.

You will be responsible for designing and developing the software that powers our products. You’ll need to collaborate with other teams, write high-quality code and ensure the codebase follows best practices. You are curious and enthusiastic with a drive to constantly learn and acquire new knowledge.

You’ll be working in our Engineering team, specifically within the AI team, working closely with Product and other technical teams and reporting to the team lead. In a typical week you’ll be busy with the following:

• Design, develop, and maintain the core engine that powers our products, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Write high-quality, maintainable code that is well-documented and tested.
• Collaborate with other engineers, including promiscuous pair-programming and mob programming.
• Ensure the codebase follows best practices for software development, such as using appropriate design patterns, writing clean and modular code, and ensuring that the codebase is easy to understand and maintain.
• Contribute towards identifying and continuously improve our development processes and technologies.
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to other engineers on their code.
• Collaborate with the Product team to translate product requirements into technical specifications.
• Collaborate with other internal teams to develop software that meets the needs of the business and our customers.
• Contribute to the technical direction of the team and provide ideas and input on architectural decisions.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to more junior members of the team. 

Your skills

• Experience in an engineering environment, with a focus on building complex, scalable, and performant systems.

• Demonstrable expertise in Python
• Previous backend development experience beneficial.
• Comfortable guiding and mentoring collegues.
• Have a growth mindset, always looking to improve yourself and others around you.
