The Opportunity
At Propel People, we're transforming how the skilled trades hire-bringing modern, AI-powered solutions to the construction industry, a sector long underserved by traditional HR tech. We're an early-stage startup born within a venture studio that's dedicated to solving real-world problems for real businesses.
We're backed by 1848 Ventures and ship products fast: React on the edge, Python serverless in the cloud, and Terraform to glue it all together. If you want to own features end-to-end UI, Lambda, IaC, and everything in between, this is your playground to experiment, learn and grow quickly. As our Fullstack Engineer, you'll be a part of a high growth company where speed and iteration are key.

Instrument code with Grafana Faro, logs, and traces - monitor via dashboards you build

Contribute across the dev lifecycle - collaborate with product stakeholders, writing tech specs & RFCs, to feature release and operations
Build web apps and APIs in Python using FastAPI (AWS-based)
Partner with design and eng to ship features that scale with demand
