Full Stack Engineer

MeltPlan | Planning Engine for the Built Environment

MeltPlan is building the “planning engine” for the $14 Tn construction industry, an AI system designed specifically to optimize decisions before construction begins. While design software optimizes use and aesthetics and construction software optimizes execution and control, MeltPlan is building the missing layer - software that optimizes decisions and tradeoffs upstream, before scope is locked, procurement begins, and change orders become inevitable. MeltPlan’s long-term goal is to help teams make construction “boring” by making planning more intense: surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, aligning stakeholders before plans are frozen, and reducing the need for late-stage redlines, rework, and change orders.

MeltPlan is founded by operators who have built at scale. Kanav previously co-founded Innovaccer, a $3Bn health-tech company focused on making US healthcare more affordable and accessible. He’s now applying that systems-level thinking to construction.He’s joined by Tanmaya Kala, former Project Executive at DPR Construction, who led large commercial, healthcare, and life sciences projects. We combine deep tech scale with real construction execution.

What This Role Really Is

Code writing is a commodity. We’re not hiring someone to close tickets.
We’re hiring someone who:

• Is biased toward building


• Thinks in systems


• Designs for scale and resilience


• Reviews architecture, not just PRs


• Can move fast without creating long-term mess

You’ll ship products daily. You’ll also help shape the system so it doesn’t collapse under growth.

What You’ll Do

• Build end-to-end features (DB → API → UI)


• Design scalable data models and backend architecture


• Ship clean, production-grade frontend experiences


• Review and improve system design decisions


• Work directly with founders on product direction


• Help define engineering standards as we scale

What We’re Looking For

• Strong backend fundamentals (APIs, databases, performance, system design)


• Strong frontend skills (React/Next.js or similar modern frameworks)


• Experience building and shipping real products


• Ability to plan before building and refactor when needed


• High ownership mindset

Bonus if you’ve worked in early-stage startups or B2B SaaS.

Why MeltPlan

• Massive industry, real-world impact


• High ownership from day one


• Small team, zero bureaucracy


• Competitive comp + meaningful equity
