About

Rudus is an AI-powered takeoff platform for structural and site concrete. We accelerate concrete takeoffs by 70%+ with AI trained specifically on structural and civil drawings- counting, measuring, and reading sheets so estimators can focus on winning bids.

The Role

You'll be one of the first engineers, shipping across the entire stack: drawing intake and rendering, AI-powered element detection and autocomplete, real-time collaborative editing, schedule interpretation, and exports into estimators' bidding workflows. You'll work directly with customers and see your code run on real bids within days of shipping.

The Role

You are the bridge between our platform and the estimating teams who run it. You'll deploy with concrete contractors- onsite during launches, async in between. You’ll be onboarding estimators, running parallel takeoffs, fixing issues live, and building custom integrations with the customer in the room. What you learn in the field feeds directly back into the product.

What You'll Do

Deploy Rudus at client offices: in-person onboarding, sitting with estimators through their first real takeoffs
Build customer-specific integrations and configurations in Python and TypeScript
Triage and fix issues fast- sometimes live, in the room
Tune the platform to each partner's structural and site workflows, including model tuning on their historical takeoffs
Translate field feedback into product priorities alongside the core engineering team

What We're Looking For

Strong engineer who's happiest working directly with users
Excellent communicator- comfortable with contractors, not just other engineers
Willing to travel for onsite deployments
Bonus: construction, estimating, or other field-heavy industry exposure
