Solutions Engineer (Preconstruction Estimator)

Construction AI Startup · Hybrid / Remote About Us We're solving one of the largest problems in the physical world: public infrastructure that's too slow and too expensive to build. Construction is a $17 trillion global industry, and it runs on human expertise that doesn't scale, so we're building the AI that understands what to build and how to build it. We start with the costliest problems general contractors face: the multi-million-dollar bidding and estimating decisions that off-the-shelf AI tools can't touch. Tyce is already live in production with industry landmark general contractors, estimating costs on multi-million-dollar builds and helping them win more bids. We're building a product engineering team we believe can run a company worth a billion dollars. Competitive salary and equity. Role Overview This role is built for an experienced estimator ready to move from the field into product. You'll work closely with product, design, QA, and sales to make sure Tyce's platform is the sharpest tool an estimator can put in front of a bid. You'll bring the judgment of someone who has carried a bid from first look to submission, and use it to shape what we build next. We are looking for Estimators in the U.S. and/or Canada for a Remote/Hybrid position.
