About this role
Why join us?
Handoff is the AI agent that runs a construction company. We help remodelers automate estimating, streamline operations, and win more work - backed by real-time cost data, intuitive design, and workflows that “speak contractor.” With over 10,000 monthly active users and $6B in annualized project volume already flowing through our platform, we’re becoming the trusted partner for the people who build our homes.
We are backed by $25M+ raised from Y Combinator, Initialized, and Greycroft. Our team is distributed across hubs in Austin, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, and we are deeply focused on building intuitive, high-impact solutions that make a real difference for our users.
• Own Estimate Quality: Act as the primary point of contact between Handoff AI and enterprise construction teams, ensuring estimates meet customer-specific expectations. • Validate Blueprint Takeoffs: Run structured quality checks on takeoffs and estimates, ensuring alignment with real-world scopes, quantities, and specifications. • Improve Estimating Systems: Maintain and refine estimating knowledge bases, templates, and material classifiers to improve consistency and accuracy. • Material & SKU Matching: Ensure contractor material lists are correctly mapped to enterprise vendor SKUs, including preferred brands, product lines, and availability. • Debug Estimation Issues: Investigate failures by reviewing AI system logs, workflows, and outputs to identify root causes across logic, data, or configuration. • Run Test Scenarios: Execute structured test estimates to validate improvements and ensure outputs meet defined quality thresholds. • Translate Field Expertise: Convert contractor feedback into actionable insights for Product and Engineering teams. • Document & Report Issues: Create clear, reproducible bug reports and prioritize improvements based on impact. • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Product and Engineering to test features, improve workflows, and ship higher-quality outputs. • Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring failure patterns and propose scalable fixes to improve system performance.
• 3+ years of residential construction experience (remodeling, custom homes, or design-build) • 1–2+ years of experience in construction material purchasing or sales, with strong understanding of product selection, SKUs, and availability • Hands-on experience with blueprint takeoffs using tools like PlanSwift, Bluebeam, or OST • Familiarity with estimating platforms such as Buildertrend, JobTread, Joist, STACK, or CoConstruct • Deep understanding of end-to-end residential construction workflows—from foundation through finishes • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex issues into root causes • Comfortable working with technical systems, logs, and structured workflows • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in cross-functional environments • High ownership mindset with a bias for action and continuous improvement • Bonus: Experience working closely with software, product, or engineering teams
• Competitive Salary + Equity • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) • 401(k) • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance • Life & Disability Insurance • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) • Dependent Care FSA (DC FSA) • Relocation Allowance • Top-Notch Equipment • Team Offsites
