About RIVET
RIVET is how construction labor gets to work. RIVET’s software platform transforms the way contractors manage, plan, schedule and deploy crews in one unified platform. The RIVET team is passionate about leveraging technology to champion the skilled trades, accelerate digital transformation, and make construction an industry of choice for a new generation entering the workforce. The Role
As a
Senior Software Engineer
at RIVET, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of our platform. You’ll work across the full stack, translating design and product requirements into user-facing features, backend logic, and integrations with systems like messaging queues and data pipelines. Collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers, you'll ship high-impact work that directly supports our customers and our business goals. This role sits within the Project Stakeholder & Data Pipeline team, a multidisciplinary group responsible for core backend systems like authentication, AI feature development, public APIs, and data infrastructure. The team also owns customer-facing experiences such as integration configuration, project planning tools, and financial forecasting features. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you’ll be instrumental in crafting solutions that span both infrastructure and product functionality, balancing speed, quality, and long-term scalability. As you grow into the role, you’ll have opportunities to take on increasing technical leadership—owning feature sets, shaping architecture, and mentoring teammates through thoughtful code reviews. If you're ready to have a visible impact and help scale a platform that's evolving fast, we’d love for you to bring your expertise and curiosity to the team. What You'll Do
Design and build full-stack product features using Typescript, React, MUI, Node.js, Express, Redis, Github Actions, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Azure and PostgreSQL
