Founding Engineer

We're hiring our
first engineer.

Undergrads is building the
operating system for real-world labor — a fast-growing marketplace connecting college students with moving, event staffing, and commercial jobs across the U.S.

Our core business is
residential moves — high-volume, repeatable, and growing fast across multiple markets. We also power large-scale operations like student housing move-ins and
major events like F1 and the Super Bowl.

We’ve proven this works.
Now we’re scaling it
— building toward a platform that operates in
250+ markets with thousands of students earning income through it.

You’ll be our
founding engineer — working directly with the
CEO and partnering with ops, growth, and product to turn messy real-world workflows into
reliable systems
.

Our core platform is Bubble, and it's staying. You’ll take primary ownership of it — tightening workflows, improving data architecture, and building backend logic that keeps operations running smoothly. But
Bubble is the foundation, not the ceiling
. You'll have full flexibility to layer in Node.js services, Python scripts, API integrations, and whatever else the problem calls for.

This is a build-from-scratch role, not a ticket queue.

• Own the
  Bubble platform — workflows, data model, backend logic
• Build and maintain integrations (Hub Spot, Stripe, Twilio, Google APIs)
• Replace brittle Zapier chains and Google Sheets with real, maintainable systems
• Build
  standalone services in Node.js or Python when Bubble isn't the right tool
• Automate ops workflows that currently eat hours of manual work
• Support
  growth experiments and new market launches with fast iteration
• Prototype and ship
  AI/LLM-driven workflows (dispatch, pricing, lead routing, comms) that directly impact revenue and efficiency

• First engineer = real ownership. No legacy team politics. You shape the technical direction.
• Direct line to revenue. The systems you build will book jobs, pay workers, and open new markets.
• Variety over monotony. One week you're building a Twilio integration, the next you're automating invoicing, the next you're prototyping an LLM-powered dispatch tool.
• Clear path to leadership. You’ll shape how we build, what we build with, and what the technical foundation looks like as the company scales

• At least 5 years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer
• Strong written English communicator
  — you’re comfortable working async with a US-based team and can clearly explain technical concepts in writing
• You've built and shipped real products — at a company, as a freelancer, or on your own
• Strong with Bubble, comfortable with APIs, and capable of writing Node.js or Python when the job needs it
• You've replaced duct-tape systems with something better and enjoyed doing it
• You care more about solving the problem than which tool solves it

• Remote:
  US timezone preferred
  , flexible if overlap works
• Comp:
  Competitive
  USD-based monthly rate
