Ironsite attacks the single biggest cost lever in construction — labor — by revolutionizing how productivity is tracked and optimized. Backed by South Park Commons.
About the role
As Head of Field Applications, you'll lead the engineering organization that owns everything a craft worker or superintendent touches. That means two teams:
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with 3+ years managing engineers, ideally including managers or multiple teams
- Hands-on depth in mobile (iOS/Android) and experience shipping software that manages hardware in the field: device provisioning, MDM, OTA, telemetry, or fleet management
- Experience running or building a forward deployed engineering function , or equivalent customer-embedded engineering work where you owned outcomes on the customer's turf
- Strong product judgment. You can tell the difference between what a customer asks for and what they need, and between a one-off and a platform feature
- Comfort on active jobsites and real respect for craft workers. You'll spend time in the field, and the software you own has to earn a crew's trust
- High agency and comfort with ambiguity. You build the process and the team while shipping
More about this role
Ironsite is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We design our own wearable hardware, deploy it alongside craft workers, and transform a shift's footage into a next-morning report. Our internal team and purpose-built models label the data overnight and deliver actionable insights to superintendents by 5 AM.
We are accelerating the speed, efficiency, and predictability of construction, especially for complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects, including data centers, LNG facilities, sports stadiums, hospitals, and other large-scale developments, by training AI models on egocentric construction footage and labor productivity data. We are built with a pro-worker philosophy at our core: we believe technology should empower the workforce, not replace it. We're working to give craft workers and project leaders better visibility into what's happening on-site, while creating a system where the reality of construction and the chaos of each day is finally available to the people running the project.
Ironsite is deployed across several of the largest active construction projects in the country. To date, we've captured more than 100,000 hours of construction footage...
