(Senior) Full-Stack Engineer

Mercura automates quoting in the construction industry with AI agents. Our software frees sales teams from manual back-office tasks and lets them process requests in minutes instead of days.

We rank in the top 5% of YC’s W25 batch by revenue. After YC, we closed a 8x oversubscribed round with top-tier investors and angels.

In just 7 months since founding, we are already on track to reach €1M ARR, and we continue to grow massively.
