we’re hiring a full-stack product engineer to help us modernize our platform and build new features from the ground up. If you enjoy owning problems end-to-end and working on a product that gets used every day, we’d love to talk.

about downtobid

Downtobid builds AI-driven software for commercial construction.

• Work where the need is. One week you might polish an existing feature; the next, you might prototype something entirely new.

• Maintain quality. Write tests, documentation, and capture basic metrics to keep the product reliable and easy to evolve. One of our core applications has grown over several years and now needs thoughtful modernization and steady ownership.
