About Us
Mura is an early stage, venture-backed startup helping commercial HVAC providers accelerate their billing cycle through AI automation. Commercial HVAC companies currently manage their billing out of offline PDFs, spreadsheets, email, and third party portals. Mura streamlines the process so that companies get paid faster and are able to scale without hiring more people.
Mura has automated over 100,000 invoices in the past few months and closed 18 customers - including the largest PE-backed operator in the space. The field service software market is a $170B+ opportunity, and we’re building the category-defining company.
Mura’s co-founders previously started LeafLink, a b2b cannabis marketplace that was backed by investors including Founders Fund, Lerer Hippeau, and Thrive Capital. LeafLink now moves 80% of the wholesale cannabis orders in the U.S. ($20B+). The team at Mura deeply understands b2b orders, and is excited to dive into a similar problem in commercial HVAC.
Role Description
As the Head of Engineering at Mura, you will build and scale both the engineering organization and the core systems behind our AI automation platform. This is a leadership role that blends people, culture, and execution. You’ll recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing team, set technical standards, and create an environment where engineers are excited to build and own the future of the company.
You’ll own team design and hiring from first principles, including leading a blended onshore and offshore engineering model. You’ll establish clear ownership, strong communication, and a culture of accountability and craftsmanship as the team grows.
The role is deeply hands-on. You’ll work across the stack to design, build, and operate reliable systems, integrate with field service platforms, improve performance, and ensure a high-trust customer experience. You’ll continue writing high-quality software while raising the bar on architecture and operational rigor.
You’ll partner closely with Mura’s co-founders and cross-functional leaders, and serve as a technical representative to customers, investors, and partners. As an early-stage startup, the pace is intense - this role is for someone energized by ownership, long hours when needed, and the opportunity to build a category-defining engineering team and platform.
