Product Manager, App Founder

At Miter, we’re on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If we’re successful, we’ll make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads, bridges, utilities, data centers, housing, etc.

For decades, construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky, on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s.

That’s where Miter comes in. We’re using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR, finance, and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Miter, contractors like Marathon Electrical, W.J. O’Neil, and Truebeck Construction are building stronger teams, controlling job costs, and accelerating jobsite execution.

This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2021, we’ve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR, making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum, we’ve raised $50M+ from top investors (Bessemer, Coatue, and Battery) who share our belief that we’re just getting started.

About the Team & How We Work

Miter is building a suite of apps for contractors — and we need founders to build them. This is not a traditional PM role. As App Founder, you'll own a new app from zero: choosing the problem, finding the customers, building the prototype, and growing it into a $10M+ ARR business.

You'll work with a tiny team at first (often just you and another engineer), supported by Miter's platform, customer base, and GTM team. You'll report directly to the Head of Product and have visibility with the ELT. Think of it like being a seed-stage founder — with the distribution advantages of a scaling company behind you.

We move fast, operate with high trust, and expect high ownership. If you've ever wanted to build something from scratch without giving up the rocket ship you're already on, this is the role.

Responsibilities

Run deep customer discovery across 2–3 candidate problem areas and identify the most compelling app opportunity; Build a working prototype within your first 90 days — using AI coding tools, no-code platforms, or whatever it takes; Pitch and demo your app to real prospects, incorporate their feedback, and iterate rapidly to find product-market fit; Own the commercial motion: pricing, packaging, early sales, and customer expansion; Graduate the app through Miter's stage-gated investment framework (Discovery → Pre-Seed → Seed → Series A)

Requirements

3+ years in product, founding, or full-stack engineering at a high-growth software company; A track record of launching 0→1 products — you've started something, shipped it, and learned from it; Comfort working with AI coding tools to build and ship prototypes independently; Sharp customer instincts — you can run great discovery interviews and know a real pain point when you hear one; High ownership mindset — you treat this like a business, not a project

Benefits

Competitive Compensation: competitive salary, commission, and equity packages; Medical Insurance: comprehensive medical, dental, FSA, vision plans; 401(k) Retirement Plan: company-matched contributions; Flexible PTO; Parental Leave: generous 16-week paid leave for all parents; Learning & Development: annual educational allowance; Office Extras: snacks, coffee, lunch, and commuter benefits; Community: company-wide and team-specific off-sites per year
