What is a Mobile Engineer at Plangrid?
As a Mobile Engineer at Plangrid, you will build the core tools that construction professionals rely on every single day. Plangrid is a leading construction productivity platform that digitizes blueprints, documents, and field collaboration. Because construction sites are often remote, underground, or shielded by heavy concrete, your work on the mobile application directly impacts whether a field worker can access critical, life-safety blueprints in real time, regardless of network conditions.
This role is highly critical because of the unique technical constraints of the construction environment. You will work on rendering massive vector blueprints, managing complex local databases, and building robust, offline-first synchronization engines. Your code must be highly optimized for memory and battery consumption, ensuring that the app remains responsive on a wide variety of mobile devices throughout a ten-hour workday in the field.
By joining this team, you are not just building another consumer app; you are solving deep engineering problems at the intersection of hardware limitations, massive data sets, and real-time collaboration. Your contributions will directly enable thousands of construction teams worldwide to build hospitals, airports, and infrastructure safer and faster.
