About Shovels

At Shovels, we're reshaping the construction and real estate industries by transforming fragmented building permit and contractor data into actionable, game-changing insights. Backed by multi-million-dollar VC funding and a growing customer base, we're taking on one of the world's largest yet most underutilized data-rich sectors—using advanced pipelines and AI to bring structure, clarity, and value to messy, fragmented data.

What started as two people with a big vision has grown into a team of dedicated engineers and data enthusiasts distributed across the globe. We've come a long way from our pre-seed days, but we're still scrappy, collaborative, and all-in on building something amazing together.

What Makes Shovels Unique

• Exposure to all parts of the company: We believe in radical transparency. At Shovels, you'll see financial statements, participate in strategic planning, and have a voice in shaping the company's direction. Everyone is part of the conversation about the future.
• Cutting-edge stack: From Python frameworks to modern orchestration and data tools, we don't shy away from embracing new technologies. If it makes us faster, better, or more innovative, we're all in.
• Generative AI in production: We use Gen AI tools daily, from categorizing hundreds of millions of records to writing and reviewing code. You'll be encouraged to experiment with LLMs and leverage AI to its fullest potential.

Why Shovels?

• Impact from day one: Your work will directly shape our product and company.
• Room to grow: Early employees will play leadership roles as the team expands.
• Flexibility: Fully remote, async-friendly culture with no strict 9-to-5 rules.
• Transparency: You'll see the inner workings of the business and help shape its future.
• Great pay + stock options: Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a company that's on the rise.

How We Work

We're a small, fully-remote global team, so flexibility and communication are key. Our core hours overlap enough to make collaboration smooth, but we trust you to manage your time and prioritize your work. We stay connected via Slack, bi-weekly calls, with impromptu 1:1s when needed, and keep things casual and fun. Twice a year, we bring everyone together for in-person team summits to connect, strategize, and celebrate our progress.
