Laminar Projects

We are Shape.Construction ! About the job Contractors bleed margin on every project. Unmanaged change. Disputed claims. Missing records. When field teams don't follow processes, events go undocumented. Commercial teams scramble for evidence that doesn't exist. Disputes drag on. Recoverable profit vanishes. On high-value projects, millions of pounds disappear. Why? - Field teams use clunky tools that are too complex and too slow. Critical events never get recorded. The audit trail has gaps. - Commercial teams fight disputes with weak evidence, chase missing records, and lose recoverable margin while the business faces unnecessary claims. Shape fixes this once and for all. Shape is the only platform simple enough for field teams to adopt instantly, yet powerful enough to drive real commercial outcomes. Site teams capture every issue, event, and change in real time. Shape automatically builds the bulletproof evidence commercial teams need to defend and recover claims. The result: Fewer lost disputes. Faster resolutions. Full subcontractor accountability. Commercial teams manage change proactively instead of reacting to it. This is the problem we solve. But to really help our customers, we need experts who understand their pain first-hand. Many of our customers are Commercial Managers and Commercial Directors. Who better to consult them than other commercial professionals? That's where you come in. We are looking for a seasoned Commercial Manager ready not just for a change of role, but a change of industry. This is your opportunity to break away from the grind of construction and step into the fast-growing world of construction SaaS. As our Manager of Commercial Strategy, you'll use your hard-won expertise to guide other commercial teams through the biggest challenge they face: change and claims. Instead of battling over margins on a single project, you'll be leading conversations that transform how entire companies protect their profit. This is consultative sales and customer success at the highest level - where your becomes the product and your impact scales far beyond any single contract. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Purpose of the role  To partner with our customers' commercial teams, helping them take control of change, disputes and claims using Shape. You will use your industry expertise to show them how to protect margin, build defensible records, and prevent the losses that most projects suffer today. Your top 5 responsibilities  1. Consult with commercial leaders to uncover where they are losing profit to change and disputes, and show how Shape stops margin leakage. 2. Support customer adoption ensuring site and office teams use Shape consistently to capture changes, issues and claims. 3. Coach customers on strengthening claims and defending disputes with documented, auditable records. 4. Act as the commercial voice inside Shape, shaping product development to better match the realities of construction projects. 5. Share best practice and lessons learned across our customer base, raising standards and outcomes for the entire industry. Your Capabilities  - Significant experience as a Commercial Manager or in a similar construction role. - Deep understanding of how unmanaged change and poor records erode project profitability. - Strong communication skills - able to win trust and explain complex issues simply. - Strategic thinker who can move from diagnosing problems to implementing solutions. - Desire to make an industry-wide impact, not just improve a single project or business. Nice to Have (If you don’t have it now you will after joining): - Experience advising or consulting with multiple stakeholders. - Knowledge of SaaS platforms or digital transformation in construction. - Comfortable leading workshops, training sessions, or customer presentations. - Ability to link commercial pain points to practical technology solutions. Shape isn’t the place for you if any of the following is true:  - You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge  - You like to be the smartest person in the room  - You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback  - You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team  At Shape we value diverse experiences and perspectives, empowering each member to contribute their unique capabilities towards our collective success, so if you don’t think you meet all the criteria but still are excited about this role we encourage you to apply anyway!  _________________________________________________________________________________________ Salary and Benefits  Standard Stuff  - Extremely competitive - Paid annual leave (varies by location) + statutory bank holidays - Private health insurance - In-house coaching sessions - Discretionary bonus scheme for all team members The Life-Changing Stuff  - 4 Day Weeks: that’s right, every week - Flexibility: We care about outcomes, not clock-watching - Grow your whole self: Access to a coach, mentor, well-being therapist and a development-focused environment designed to give you 5 years of growth in 1 year - Be surrounded by the best: We only hire the top talent; progression is fast and development is unbounded. - Long-term impact: Shape is tackling the single biggest issue in construction delivery, with solutions designed to spread and outlast us. *Please do not book a demo via the Shape website as part of the application.

Ameba

Full-Stack Software Engineer at Ameba Engineering at Ameba is a rare opportunity to build cutting-edge software in a traditional industry, while being generously rewarded for your contributions. If you’ve never considered working in supply chains before, everything around you, including the device you're reading this on, has a story of how it got there. Raw material to finished product, that story is the supply chain. If the unseen machinery of the world sparks something in you, we'd love to talk! We're a startup made up of experienced entrepreneurs (who have previously raised $160m+) and builders (ex-Meta, Palantir, Microsoft, Quant Devs, UnlikelyAI). We have big ambitions and are backed by some of the most successful investors in Europe. We’ve raised over $9M since our launch just over a year ago. Your Role as a Full-Stack Engineer As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will collaborate closely with our CTO and engineering team to design, build, and launch products from conception to launch. This involves working across the entire stack — from front-end (written in React/TypeScript), back-end (written in Kotlin and Python), machine learning (agentic workflows, entity matching), to infrastructure (AWS, Docker). Working at a startup so early, it's common to kick off a feature on Monday, and have users use it on Friday. You should be comfortable working with these tight feedback loops and long to build a product that users love. Don't worry if you lack experience in any of these areas - your application is still welcome! Life at Ameba We pride ourselves on providing top-of-market salaries and generous equity packages to all employees. We're assembling a lean team of exceptionally talented individuals and aim to reward them accordingly. * We enjoy collaborating together in the office, typically five days a week, for easy, high-bandwidth conversations. While we provide flexibility to work from home when necessary, our primary focus at this early stage is creating a strong office-first experience. * We offer 28 holiday days per year, and we shut down entirely over the holiday season for 2 weeks, allowing everyone to disconnect completely. * We provide four months of maternity and paternity leave at 100% salary. * We offer comprehensive healthcare and dental cover. * The salary range for this role is £80,000-£130,000 + generous equity. The salary for this position is determined by several factors, such as experience, relevant skills, business needs, or market demands. * You will have the opportunity (if you want it) to visit customers at their place of work, both in the UK and outside it! We currently work with customers in Portugal, the Netherlands, and more. Qualifications Essential: * Minimum 3 years of experience as a software engineer. * 2+ years of experience with React/TypeScript and an Object-Oriented Programming Language (Java, Scala, Kotlin, C#, C++). * Proven experience in building and shipping software, involving collaboration with other engineers, designers, product managers, and users to identify and implement solutions based on customer needs. * 1+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems. Desirable: * Undergraduate or Masters degree in Computer Science (or related fields). * Experience with AWS and Docker. * Interest in AI, and familiarity with building LLM-based agents. * Exposure to contract-first development (OpenAPI, gRPC/Protocol Buffers). * Ability to design scalable and efficient system architectures. * Ability to navigate rapidly changing priorities in a growing startup environment. * [Optional] Previous experience working at a startup or a keen interest in startups
