Software Engineer I

What You'll Actually Do

• Build internal tools and automations using AI and agentic frameworks (Claude, LLMs, MCP servers) on top of Built's bapps infrastructure
• Ship fast and iterate—if it works and people use it, it's good. If it doesn't, kill it and build the next thing
• Work from real operational pain points (your team will tell you exactly what's broken)
• Own the full stack: design, build, deploy, measure, iterate based on what actually gets used
• Learn the real estate finance domain by shipping solutions, not by reading docs
• Partner with product and engineering to understand our architecture and use it

What Success Looks Like

• Your code directly reduces manual hours on the implementation team (and you'll measure it)
• You ship your first tool within your first 30 days
• You get comfortable shipping and iterating quickly with real feedback
• People on your team actually use the things you build - adoption matters
• You grow from "new grad" to "engineer who owns critical internal systems" in 12-18 months

Required

• Recent Computer Science graduate or software engineer with up to ~1 year of experience (including internships, co-ops, or substantial academic projects)
• 0–2 years of professional or serious personal project experience (bootcamp counts; passion projects count)
• Ability to write clean code in any modern language (you'll pick up our stack)
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership - you'll get a problem statement, not a spec
• Genuine curiosity about the business - why we're automating this, what it enables downstream
• Speed and shipping bias over perfection

Preferred

• Hands-on with AI/LLM tools or agentic frameworks (even a personal project)
• Experience with APIs and integrations
• Ability to identify inefficiencies and solve them independently

Tech Stack

TypeScript, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, and AWS IAC. You don't need to know all of these coming in - you'll learn them. The bapps team (senior engineers building core infrastructure) will do code review and coaching.
