UpSmith is an AI-powered platform for home services companies. Our AI agents automate customer outreach at scale - booking maintenance appointments, following up on estimates, confirming jobs, and re-engaging lapsed customers on behalf of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies across the US.
We're a small engineering team where every system we build directly drives revenue for our clients. The feedback loop is tight and the stakes are real - something breaks or underperforms, clients notice the same day.
We're hiring Software Engineers to own core platform systems as we scale. This is a high-ownership role on a small team. You'll shape technical direction, make architectural decisions, and ship end-to-end. The specific problems will shift as we grow - what stays constant is that you'll own technically complex systems with direct, measurable business impact. You'll work closely with the rest of the engineering team as well as the ops team that manages client relationships.
Requirements
To give you a sense of the problems on - not an exhaustive list, but representative of the type and complexity of work at this level:
Decision systems. Building the logic that determines which customers to contact, when, and why - and making that logic configurable, auditable, and increasingly intelligent over time.
Data infrastructure. Making our data trustworthy, queryable, and actionable - the analytics foundation that powers targeting, reporting, and client-facing products.
Supply and demand. Connecting real-time technician availability to outreach decisions, agent conversations, and client reporting so the platform responds to what's actually happening on the ground.
Client-facing visibility. Our clients need to see what's happening with their campaigns without emailing us. That means dashboards, attribution, full-funnel tracking, and alerting - built on the analytics layer and designed for people who aren't technical.
System evolution. We have production systems serving real clients that need to be replaced incrementally. You'll design migration strategies, run parallel validation, and cut over without disrupting active campaigns.
