## About the role

A homebuilder's plan library is the product data behind its entire business — and at enterprise scale, that data is almost entirely unstructured. Plans live as drawing sets scattered across semi-autonomous divisions, renamed and re-numbered as they move. Nobody can say with confidence which plans are duplicates, how many versions of a given home exist, or what actually varies between them.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of engineering experience, including significant time in customer-facing or deployed settings — forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or professional services
- Strong hands-on data fluency: SQL, scripting against APIs, comfort in notebooks, and a habit of interrogating a data set yourself rather than requesting a pull
- Experience prototyping to validate ideas quickly using tools like Cursor, Replit, or V0.dev
- A track record building structured data models, taxonomies, or classification schemes and getting a system to actually run on them in production
- Strong judgment about data quality — what level of accuracy a decision requires, and what it costs to get there
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including with executive stakeholders who have limited time and no patience for status without substance
