Senior PHP Developer

At Palcode.ai, We're on a mission to fix the massive inefficiencies in pre-construction. Think about it - in a $10 trillion industry, estimators still spend weeks analyzing bids, project managers struggle with scattered data, and costly mistakes slip through complex contracts. We're fixing this with purpose-built AI agents that work. Our platform can do “magic” to Preconstruction workflows from Weeks to Hours. It's not just about AI – it's about bringing real, measurable impact to an industry ready for change. We are backed by names like AWS for Startups, Upekkha Accelerator, and Microsoft for Startups.

Why Palcode.ai

Tackle Complex Problems: Build AI that reads between the lines of construction bids, spots hidden risks in contracts, and makes sense of fragmented project data

High-Impact Code: Your code won't sit in a backlog – it goes straight to estimators and project managers who need it yesterday

Tech Challenges That Matter: Design systems that process thousands of construction documents, handle real-time pricing data, and make intelligent decisions

Build & Own: Shape our entire tech stack, from data processing pipelines to AI model deployment

Quick Impact: Small team, huge responsibility. Your solutions directly impact project decisions worth millions

Learn & Grow: Master the intersection of AI, cloud architecture, and construction tech while working with founders who've built and scaled construction software

Your Role:

• Design and build our core AI services and APIs using Python
• Create reliable, scalable backend systems that handle complex data
• Help set up cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines
• Collaborate with our AI team to integrate machine learning models

• You're comfortable with full-stack development and cloud services
• You write clean, maintainable code and follow good engineering practices
• You're curious about AI/ML and eager to learn new technologies
