Full job description
Struction\u00a0is different
You\u2019re reading this for a reason.<\/p>\n
Something about your status quo feels off.<\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019re tired of grinding 996 for yet another \u201cAI-native\u201d CRM or app builder. Maybe you\u2019re tired of clocking out at 3 p.m., quietly wondering if you\u2019ll be replaced in the next round of layoffs. Maybe you\u2019re tired of chasing fractional gains on ChatGPT 5.1.2.3.<\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019re tired of dressing up your generic B2B SaaS designs as \u201cnovel\u201d and posting on socials for psuedo-clout.<\/p>\n
The root cause is the same:\u00a0you want your work to matter.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve found deep meaning and purpose in the ways we\u2019re different \u2014 and we hope one or more of these will resonate with you too.<\/p>\n
We unapologetically build for the real world
Construction has always been synonymous with human progress, from the Great Pyramids of Egypt to the Empire State Building. It\u2019s also everywhere around you: the place you live, the place you go to work, even the data centers delivering you this very sentence. Every one of them began as an idea, lines on paper or pixels on a screen, until the real-world builders turned them into reality, beam by beam and bolt by bolt.<\/p>\n
And yet, while architects, engineers, and countless other professions saw massive productivity gains with technology, the\u00a0real\u00a0builders were left behind. Construction productivity is worse today than it was five decades ago.<\/p>\n
Our mission, as digital builders, is to serve the physical builders. We see software and AI not as ends themselves, but as tools to empower those who shape the real world. When you work at Struction, you get to see your work\u00a0literally\u00a0transform reality \u2014 not just push pixels on a button.<\/p>\n
If we succeed, Struction will become\u00a0the compute platform of construction:\u00a0replacing paper drawings on job-sites and pioneering a world where physical construction can\u00a0iterate as fast as code.<\/p>\n
We develop only the most cutting edge technology
Construction drawings are among the most intricate and information-dense documents on the planet. They\u2019re highly multi-modal – combining texts, tables, vector graphics, images, and 3D models. They\u2019re also highly irregular, shaped by the unique quirks and styles of each architect. And they\u2019re intensely domain-specific: a dashed line can mean something entirely different in a civil plan than it does in an architectural one. Our job is to create a system that parses, indexes, and truly\u00a0understands\u00a0all of it.<\/p>\n
To accomplish this, we\u2019re developing segmentation models more sophisticated than those used in self-driving cars, agents more capable and adaptive than Claude Code, and knowledge graphs that connect the digital and physical worlds. It\u2019s\u00a0frontier-level AI \u2014 grounded in the most tangible of domains. As such, our User Interfaces must distill heavy workloads into intuitive, learnable, and enjoyable experiences.<\/p>\n
We are early-stage (for now).
Most people write off early-stage companies because they see outsized risk for the same job. We see it differently \u2014 as\u00a0outsized impact\u00a0for the same time investment.<\/p>\n
Fresh off our large seed raise, you\u2019d be joining during the golden window: the product is validated by the market, yet the team is still small enough that every person meaningfully shapes the product\u2019s direction and outcome every single day.<\/p>\n
We launched our specialty contractor product this January and have seen close to 50% MoM growth since. We\u2019re based out of Colorado – one of the last places where reality, and productivity, still matter (+1 for quality of life). We\u2019re close to our customers and intent on staying close as a company. We believe in working IRL but are consistently flexible. Getting your s*** done is more important than hours in the office, but time with your teammates is priceless.<\/p>\n
Life is only as rich as the experiences you chase. And when we succeed, your work will be recognized for breaking the\u00a0agility barrier of the physical world\u00a0\u2014 unlocking a level of iteration once thought possible only in the digital realm.<\/p>\n
What you\u2019ll do in this role
Own the end-to-end design of Struction\u2019s product experience, from early concept through shipped pixels.
Design interfaces that make complex construction data simple, intuitive, and human-centric: drawing viewers, knowledge graphs, material tables, takeoff workflows, AI-generated outputs, cross-component referencing and synchronization.
Develop and maintain a coherent design system that scales as we expand from a few product surfaces to many
Conduct user research with customers to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and mental models
Translate cutting edge, ambiguous, and novel AI capabilities into clear, trustworthy user experiences – helping users understand what the system did, why, and how to interact with it
Collaborate directly with engineers to ship designs with high fidelity; plan to be in the code review, not just the handoff
Provide a leg-up to Struction engineers through fully-functioning mockups, AI prototypes, and detailed experience design
Shape product direction alongside founders and engineering; design has a seat at the table, not a ticket queue
Report directly to the CEO
You\u2019ll likely thrive in this role if
You have 5+ years of UI \/ UX design experience, with at least 2 years as the primary or sole designer on a product
You appreciate and have worked in the creative intersection of physical reality and software
Your portfolio demonstrates strong systems thinking; not just beautiful interfaces, but coherent, scalable product experiences
You\u2019re fluent in both high-fidelity UI craft and low-fidelity rapid exploration; you know when to polish and when to sketch and move between fluidly
You\u2019ve designed for data-dense, workflow-heavy applications (developer tools, analytics platforms, multi-media viewers, or similar) with view-state conditions
You\u2019ve shipped designs for AI-native products or features and understand the UX challenges of non-deterministic systems, confidence intervals, and human-in-the-loop correction
You\u2019re a strong communicator who can articulate design rationale to engineers, founders, and customers without hiding behind jargon
You\u2019re comfortable with ambiguity and speed\u2026 you\u2019d rather ship and learn than wait for perfect specs
You have deep empathy for users who aren\u2019t like you, such as estimators and pre-construction professionals who have never used a product like this before
You have a sense of humor
You\u2019re gritty & scrappy
You\u2019re god-tier on Figma
Bonus points if
You\u2019ve designed for 3D, spatial, canvas, document-centric (annotation tools, PDFs, CAD) or multi-media applications
You can build interactive prototypes in code (React, Framer, Figma, etc.)
You\u2019ve built a design system from scratch
You\u2019ve conducted and synthesized your own user research without a dedicated research team
You\u2019ve managed projects in Linear, Notion, Google Docs, etc.
