Bridgit is workforce intelligence for the construction industry. Our mission is simple – to help the trillion dollar construction industry maximize profits and reduce risk by taking a people-first approach. We are, and always have been, driven by the want to disrupt and transform construction.

Bridgit was founded on the belief of disrupting the norm and challenging conventional processes by defining real problems for real people. We strive to build approachable yet innovative solutions.

We offer a remote-first environment with flexible working hours as well as options for working locations. At Bridgit, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact!

The Engineering & Product team at Bridgit

We’re always learning and iterating to continually build efficient, motivated, empowered teams that scale with the company. Our development teams are made up of specialists across various areas: product management, design, front & back end development, and testing. Each team has ownership of a cross section of our main product (Bridgit Bench) which we refer to internally as “Product Focus Areas”. We believe the combination of a cross-functional team and product ownership truly empowers our teams to make their own decisions and move as they see fit toward completing established business and organizational objectives. Each team is in full control of their agile development process as they move work from the “Fuzzy Front End” (problem definition) into solution development and then into execution and feedback. Our teams make decisions based on data that we gather from product use and various other channels, and are encouraged to tackle big- bet/innovative projects in addition to obvious iterative product improvements.
