Hey, I'm Wyatt, founder and CEO of Upsmith. We're on a mission to help skilled trades companies and their workers thrive by building AI agents for home service industries like heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical. Our platform transforms unstructured data into revenue by driving insights and personalized homeowner conversations, leading to automated bookings without adding headcount. We released Jenny, our agent for booking quality leads, and we're now hiring full stack engineers in Dallas with skills in Python, GraphQL, and React. Join us and work with top-tier investors to impact the future of trades in the U.S. and globally. Excited to meet you soon!

At UpSmith, we’re building autonomous AI agents for trades companies (HVAC, plumbing and electrical home services) to turn data into revenue so their teams win and workers flourish.

Our machine learning models pinpoint the best opportunities, then communicate with homeowners through 1:1 personalized customer interactions at scale, freeing up humans to do what they do best – providing amazing service while building meaningful relationships.

We are growing quickly in a $500B+ market with backing from a16z, Asymmetric, Hannah Grey, GSV Partners, Cubit Capital, Crow Holdings, CIV, Karman Ventures, TechNexus, Kimbel Mechanical, and other leading investors.


Job Details

We’re hiring senior full-stack engineers who will push the boundaries of applying AI agents to solve real-world problems serving middle America. As part of the engineering team at UpSmith, you’ll get the chance to own products and user experiences end-to-end, enabled by our core values of being an owner, winning with speed, and acting with courage.


Skills & Requirements

  • Belief in the dignity of work in the trades and our mission to tackle U.S. skilled workforce shortages

  • 4+ years of experience in product-focused engineering – not necessarily AI-related

  • Track record of shipping simple, intuitive and delightful user experiences

  • Plus for scaling web-based systems and services

  • Big plus having high growth experience either as a founder or early-stage engineer

  • Proficiency in Python and GraphQL

  • React, Typescript, or equivalent frontend languages are nice-to-haves, but the vast majority of the work will be back-end

  • Able to navigate ambiguity with little coaching, prizing action over inaction

  • Comfortable operating with both an “in the clouds” and “in the weeds” mindset

  • Adaptable, with understanding that software development is a team sport

  • Willingness to mentor and be a coach


Our Values

  • Be an owner. Raise the bar and take pride in the work.

  • Speed wins. Execute efficiently and with bias to action.

  • Act with courage. The fastest way to right is trying and getting it wrong.

  • Build it simple. The direct way is (most often) the best way.

  • Customers come first. Deliver magic for the people we serve.


Compensation

  • Competitive cash ($170-$200K base) and equity (18-36 BPS)

  • Medical, dental, vision benefits; opp’ts for professional growth and follow on awards
