Meet the AI Teammate Built for Residential Construction

Handoff estimates every job, runs every project end to end, and handles the admin with AI — so more of what you bill turns into profit.

The AI agent for contractors

Trained on real construction. Not generic AI guesswork.

Most AI tools are built for everyone — which means they're built for no one. Handoff is different. Your AI Teammate is trained on real residential construction projects, real contractor pricing, and real job site conditions. When it estimates a bathroom remodel in Phoenix, it's not guessing.

It knows. And the more you use it, the more it learns how you run projects — your rates, your materials, your way of working.

Project history

100,000+ completed estimates from real residential projects

Real-time pricing

60M+ SKUs tracked across major construction suppliers

Supplier

Supplier-backed pricing data from Home Depot, Lowe's, and more

Regional intelligence

Local cost intelligence — priced by ZIP code, not national averages

The hiring process

Welcome. Here's what to expect.

We're building an AI-native operating system for contractors, rethinking workflows from scratch. To do that, we keep the team small and the bar high. Here's how we hire, how to prepare, and what we look for. No surprises, both ways.

Five steps, usually 2 to 3 weeks

Final step

How to prepare

A few things worth doing

01

Know Handoff's product

Use the website. Look at what we've shipped. Understand who our customers are.

02

Come with examples of ownership

A time you drove something end-to-end: what you did, what you decided, what you'd do differently.

03

Be ready to talk about how you use AI

Not a trick question. We want to understand how you think about it as a tool.

04

Bring real questions

We'd rather have a conversation than a one-way pitch. Ask about the team, the roadmap, the culture, the hard parts.

05

Be honest about what you're looking for

If this environment isn't right for you, it's better to know early. We respect people who are clear-eyed about fit.

What you'd be joining

A high bar, by design

Handoff isn't for everyone, and that's intentional. A small team across Austin, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, optimized for talent density, ownership, and speed.

Real ownership, early

You'll own meaningful parts of the product, from idea to production to iteration. Not tickets.

Small team, high talent density

We keep teams intentionally small, so you work with people who think clearly, move fast, and raise the bar.

Build where AI actually matters

AI is core to the product and the business, not experiments on the edges. Real problems, real users.

Who thrives here

A lot of people describe Handoff as a great place to work. They also consistently say it's not for everyone.

You'll thrive here if you:

  • See gaps and move toward them without being asked
  • Communicate clearly and directly
  • Care more about outcomes than activity
  • Move fast without waiting for perfect information
  • Use AI as a natural part of how you work
  • Want to work with people who challenge you and help you get better

You may struggle if you prefer:

  • Narrow, clearly defined ownership
  • Heavy structure and predefined processes
  • Slower decision-making
  • Predictable change
  • Work that stays inside established lanes

We'd rather you self-select honestly than find out three months in.
