REMOTE FIRST / PERMANENT / FULL-TIME

Who are we?

At Qflow we’re on a mission to transform one of the world’s most pollutive industries: Construction. We help them cut waste and reduce their carbon emissions by providing construction and development teams with the data driven insights they need to deliver productive, profitable, and sustainable projects. Our team combines construction experience with software engineering and cutting-edge data science to deliver real-time alerts to risks and opportunities during construction.

After successfully raising an oversubscribed Series A investment round, our technical team is now growing. We are seeking a talented Python Engineer who is eager to contribute to building a sustainable future. If you are passionate about sustainability, believe that with cutting-edge technology we can address tangible issues, you value radical transparency, unstoppable tenacity and encourage collaboration and curiosity within your team, this opportunity is tailor-made for you.

• Work closely with the Product team to translate product requirements into technical specifications
• Collaborate with other internal teams to develop software that meets the needs of the business and our customers
