At Shovels, we believe that finding, funding, and hiring contractors should be a stress-free process. Our platform combines building permit data with building inspections, census, topography, weather, and real estate transactions to form the most comprehensive understanding of the building contractor market. With this information, we aim to eliminate the agency problem and make the market more efficient, while also providing reliable information for building owners and contractors looking to implement sustainable and energy-efficient solutions.

We like working with smart people that are comfortable working with challenging data problems and cloud environments. Our current tech/data stack is in its infancy but we currently use Python, Pandas/Polaris, Prefect, AWS, Django (API). We're happy to help you get up to speed with anything you haven't seen before. We practice peer code review and continuous deployment on all our code and systems.
Our entire team is distributed around the world and works remotely. We value cultural fit as much as engineering excellence and we make sure our team is built of people who enjoy working together.
We're very flexible about where and when you work, as long as you ship code and are reachable by other team members for part of the day. We stay in touch via Discord chat, team meetings, with impromptu 1-on-1 video chats whenever there's a detailed issue to discuss.
