BuildZoom is Hiring Engineer Number Five

BuildZoom is looking for a talented engineer to help us build tools for the home improvement and construction industries.

We have developed a huge dataset that nobody has ever had access to before: 70 million building permits (and growing) and licensing information for nearly every licensed contractor in the United States. We are using these data to do things like:

Identify the best (and worst) contractors are based on work history and other signals Analyze publicly traded builders to forecast next quarter’s revenues (this actually works!) Let people see who built their favorite homes, restaurants, and offices, and the remodeling history of their own home

To learn more about some of the things you’d be working on, check out these links:

BuildZoom is built in Ruby on Rails, but we are open to applicants without Rails experience as well as to incorporating new technologies into our stack.

We have around 27,500 daily users.

We are still a small team. The office environment is fun, productive, and generally a great place to learn and work. We just moved into a new office at 1st street and Folsom in San Francisco. Here’s a little video of our new home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgaYLiw6bvo

BuildZoom has raised $4M from great investors including Formation 8 (Joe Lonsdale), Darren Bechtel, Sam Altman, and Y Combinator.
