Remote US

About Us
Propel People is an AI-powered construction recruiting platform transforming how skilled trades are hired.

We help small and mid-sized trade contractors fill roles faster by automating job distribution, scoring resumes, and streamlining candidate communication. Our mission is simple: give hiring managers tools that actually save time and help them connect with qualified tradespeople, fast.

We’re growing fast, backed by 1848 Ventures, and on a mission to build the future of hiring in the trades. If you’re excited about construction tech, workforce innovation, and being part of a high-energy startup team—let’s talk.

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. 

What You’ll Do

  • Own product slices end-to-end: sketch UX, code, test, ship, and measure
  • QA features to ensure they meet customer needs
  • Automate everything—tests (GitHub Actions), Terraform modules, container builds, serverless deployments
  • Quickly squash bugs and continuously tune for performance and cost
  • Build daily in our React + Vite SPA (TanStack Router, React-Query, MUI Joy)
  • Write clean, testable, efficient code
  • Extend microservices on AWS Fargate (Twilio, third-party HR integrations)
  • Instrument code with Grafana Faro, logs, and traces – monitor via dashboards you build
  • Build and maintain Python Lambdas (SQLAlchemy → Postgres, S3, SQS, Cognito, SageMaker)
  • Contribute across the dev lifecycle – collaborate with product stakeholders, writing tech specs & RFCs, to feature release and operations
  • Build web apps and APIs in TypeScript/Python on Node.js and FastAPI (AWS-based)
  • Partner with design and eng to ship features that scale with demand

Who You Are

We’re looking for a well-rounded engineer with strong frontend skills and working backend knowledge. You don’t need to check every box but here’s what a strong fit might look like:

Core Skills

  • This is a mid-level role ideal for engineers with around 5-8 years of hands-on development experience
  • Experience building SPAs in React/TypeScript with modern state management and routing
  • Fluency in Python or strong JS/TS with interest in Python Lambdas

  • Familiar with at least one backend language (TypeScript, Python, or Ruby)
  • Proven history shipping in AWS (or other major cloud platforms)
  • Writes tests and monitors code in production
  • Startup mindset: bias for action, comfortable with ambiguity, eager to talk to users

  • CI/CD knowledge (GitHub Actions preferred)
  • AWS tools like Cognito, S3 presigned URLs, SQS/SNS, Fargate
  • Exposure to data /analytics tools (Grafana, Redash) or ML-powered features
  • Mobile dev experience (Flutter or React Native)
  • Past work integrating third-party APIs (HRIS, Stripe, Twilio, WhatsApp/Telegram APIs, etc.)

You Might Be a Great Fit If....

  • You are entrepreneurial, enjoy moving fast, and are comfortable with early stage ambiguity
  • You see AI as a force multiplier, not a threat – and you’re eager to test new tools and workflows
  • You are comfortable working in environments you haven’t seen before and learning new technologies as necessary
  • You’re excited to serve a hardworking, often-overlooked audience: construction contractors and tradespeople
  • You want to be part of a mission-driven venture solving a real hiring crisis in the skilled trades

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
