The Role
We're looking for an AI Builder to join the crew.
This isn't a job for someone who wants a spec handed to them. You'll sit with a client, figure out how their business actually runs, and build the thing that fixes what's broken. Some days that's a custom app. Some days it's an agent that reads emails and updates a CRM so nobody has to. Some days it's a dashboard nobody thought to ask for but everybody needed the moment they saw it.
We don't care what stack you learned on. Python, TypeScript, Swift, Rust, whatever's in your toolbox. If you've ever fixed a real problem with duct tape and a script and felt a little proud of it, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Actually Do
- Sit down with clients (or with us, translating for you) to understand how their business runs before you touch a keyboard
- Scope projects and give timeline estimates that hold up once the work starts
- Build. Whatever the problem calls for: an app, an agent, an integration, a script that saves someone four hours a week
- Ship things that survive contact with a real business, not just a demo
- Use AI as a serious part of how you build, not a party trick
How This Works
This starts as project-based contract work. You'll get matched to client engagements as they come in, sometimes a single build, sometimes an ongoing retainer. Do good work and there's a real path to more of it, up to full-time contracting. We're growing our bench of AI Builders alongside our client work, and we're looking for people who want to grow with it.
You'll report to Stephen, our CTO. He handles client relationships, timelines, and expectations at a high level so you can focus on building. You own the requirements, the scope, and the estimate for whatever you're building.
Who We Are
Rebar builds AI tools and manages technology for construction and trades businesses. We take the work seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously. Curiosity, risk, and putting people first are how we actually operate—not words on a slide. We're a no-bullshit shop, which fits an industry that doesn't have time for anything else.
How to Apply
Apply at hiring.rebar.is. Send a resume and a portfolio or work sample—something you built and are proud of—with a couple sentences on why it mattered.
- Full-stack in practice, not just on paper. You've built frontends, backends, and the glue in between.
- Curious about business first, code second. You want to know why a quoting process takes three days before you decide how to fix it.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. Clients don't hand you a spec. You help build one.
- Honest about tradeoffs. If an idea's bad, you say so.
- Genuinely into AI as a builder's tool, not because it's trendy. You can show how you actually use it to build better and faster.
- No degree or bootcamp certificate required—show us something you built and tell us why it mattered.
