Founding Engineer ($200k+ + Equity) at Muro AI

VC-backed pre-construction AI startup funded by top-tier investors in PlanGrid and BuildingConnected.

About the role

Join a founding team of Cornell alumni and ex-McKinsey founders automating the $13 trillion construction industry. As a Founding Engineer, you will own the platform end-to-end, building AI agents that transform weeks of manual bid comparisons into hours. You'll architect high-scale Node/TypeScript services and ship a critical Electron-based desktop application.

Why this role is remarkable

• Ship to production daily for general contractors who are already using the platform in live project cycles to manage multi-million dollar bids.
• Backed by the same elite VCs who invested in construction-tech unicorns like PlanGrid and BuildingConnected, offering massive category-ownership potential.
• High-impact founding equity and $200k+ total compensation in a role where you influence every architectural decision from day one.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build core Node.js/TypeScript services, deciding when to utilize microservices versus monoliths for complex construction data models.
• Lead the development of a native-feel Electron desktop app for Mac/Windows featuring offline sync, file system access, and automated updates.
• Design the integration backbone connecting to Procore, SharePoint, and Excel using asynchronous job systems, webhooks, and robust retry logic.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack engineer, ideally as a founder or an early engineer at a high-growth startup.
• Deeply proficient in the modern JS/TS stack including Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL, with a proven ability to manage GCP or Supabase infrastructure.
• Thrives in 0→1 environments where they can context-switch between high-level architectural design and deep-diving into database indexes or CSS components.
