Software Tech Lead

We are looking for a Software Tech Lead to join an early-stage deep tech startup and help build and lead an agile and output-oriented team. You will play a crucial role in shaping the product's growth through influencing the architecture, driving code quality, developing software, growing the team and actively contributing to the codebase.

We are looking for someone passionate about taking on the deep tech challenge of building innovative structural optimization products. Structural optimization is not easy—it is scarcely applied in industry due to its complex intersection of civil/structural engineering and software engineering.

We prioritize results over processes, and your performance will be evaluated based on the quality and impact of your contributions, as well as your influence on team collaboration and delivery.

We are creating a scalable solution to a global problem: the construction industry is significantly inefficient, using more concrete and steel than is structurally needed. Our research team extracted 400 peer-reviewed academic papers, representing about 1,900 structures with an average structural inefficiency of 21%.

In this role, your software skills will optimize both performance and building structures—helping build more sustainable cities and managing a young team excited to create impact.

You will be one of the first software engineers. We currently have 3 software engineers and 12 CSEs (computational structural engineers) who are actively contributing to our code.

You will work closely with our CTO, who has relocated from Silicon Valley (SF) to Dubai (and Cairo). He brings experience working with large data sets at Pinterest and Insuretech—and is now focusing on AI-powered structural engineering.
