About SubHub
SubHub is building software that turns construction plans into trustworthy, estimator-ready quantities. We focus on solving real geometry and spatial reasoning problems that sit at the core of construction workflows—bridging the gap between blueprints and accurate, usable takeoffs. We’re a small, sharp founding team working closely with construction experts to build systems that are mathematically sound, practical in the field, and trusted by professionals.
The Role
SubHub is looking for a Founding Software Engineer focused on Spatial Systems to own and build the core geometry and quantity logic of our platform. This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys deep technical problems, wants direct access to decision-makers, and is excited to define foundational systems from the ground up.
You’ll work on translating complex construction drawings into reliable quantities, building engine-like spatial systems that handle real-world edge cases, numerical stability, and messy geometry. As the company grows, there is an opportunity to help shape and eventually lead a broader engineering team.
What You’ll Do
Solve complex geometry and quantity problems in construction, such as wall surface areas, paint volumes, and excavation quantities from grading plans
Build mathematically sound spatial systems that produce estimator-ready outputs
Design and implement robust geometry algorithms with real-world tolerance handling
Build upon and help define SubHub’s Python 3 and AWS-based tech stack from scratch
Collaborate closely with a Senior Construction Estimator to ensure solutions align with real construction practices
Operate as a hands-on individual contributor with significant ownership over core systems
Help shape the technical direction of the product and engineering organization as the company scales
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience building or working deeply on spatial systems, game engines, physics engines, or VR/AR tooling
Strong background in spatial reasoning, geometry, or engine-like systems
Experience at companies such as Unity, Riot Games, Ubisoft, Roblox, Epic Games, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft Gaming, EA, or Blizzard Entertainment
Proficiency in Python or C++
Hands-on experience with polygon operations including union, intersection, offsetting, winding rules, and tolerance handling
Experience implementing collision and overlap checks, ray casting, point-in-polygon tests, and triangulation
Strong understanding of coordinate transforms, unit systems, numerical stability, and degenerate geometry cases
Some exposure to computer vision or OCR is a plus
A deep thinker who enjoys tackling hard spatial problems end-to-end and turning theory into reliable systems
This role is ideal for someone who wants to apply engine-level spatial thinking to real-world construction problems and build foundational systems that matter from day one.
At Rethink Recruit, we bring a mix of old-school work ethic with a modern approach to recruitment. Our competitive edge comes from our niche focus on Autonomous Driving, EVs, AI, Robotics, Blockchain (FinTech), and the ability to adapt to new and emerging technologies.
For our clients - it allows them to tap into our talent pool of tens of thousands of pre-qualified, industry and skill-specific candidates with whom we have developed close working relationships over the past decade.
For our candidates - it allows them to spend less time on their job search by engaging with more industry-specific companies and more skill-specific jobs.
We believe that any agency can find marginal success by deploying a host of modern technologies and recruitment tools for outreach ($$$). Yet, what separates the good agencies from the great is how relevant their outreach is and how well they utilize their tools. We help bridge that gap by harnessing the power of modern technology to build long-standing relationships with thousands of diverse and incredibly talented people.
We care about what we do and the people we work with. Coupled with our high-level understanding of the technology and its applications, we stay at the forefront of the current market trends. So whether you are a candidate seeking a new role or a company looking to retain talent, please reach out to us, and we will look forward to working with you!
