About LeanScaper
We are on a mission to empower landscapers to build thriving businesses by putting people
first, developing strong leaders, skilled teams, and a culture of continuous growth. Our vision is
to become the leading global movement driving efficiency, growth, and innovation in the green
industry. By leveraging lean systems, smart technology, and a strong community of knowledge
and mentorship, we are redefining how landscaping businesses scale profitably.
We don’t just build software, we create solutions that drive real-world impact. Our team is
passionate about solving complex problems, fostering innovation, and making a tangible
difference in the lives of our users.
LeanScaper AI is the first and only AI platform built specifically for the landscaping industry. It
connects the tools businesses already use, combining them into a single, intelligent system.
Think of it as having a $3M leadership team with decades of experience working behind the
scenes to help you run smarter and grow faster.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on engineer who thrives in a product-first environment. This is not
an architecture-only role. You will be writing production code weekly, shaping technical
decisions through real contributions, and collaborating closely with product and design to ship
features that matter.
We are open to Senior, Staff, or Principal-level engineers. What matters most is your ability to
build, mentor, and contribute to product strategy through code.
What You Will Do
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code across our stack: TypeScript, Node.js (or Bun), React, and AWS
- Design and build APIs and third-party integrations central to our product’s value
- Collaborate with product and design teams to turn requirements into working software
- Guide technical direction through implementation, not just review
- Mentor other engineers through pairing, code reviews, and shared problem-solving
- Contribute to system reliability, performance, and monitoring
What You Will Bring
- Deep, hands-on experience with TypeScript, Node.js or Bun, React, and AWS
- A history of shipping features in product-focused teams (not just internal tools)
- Experience building and maintaining well-documented RESTful APIs
- Familiarity with relational databases like PostgreSQL and writing efficient queries
- Comfort navigating ambiguity, breaking down problems, and delivering incremental value
- Strong collaboration skills with a bias for action
Bonus if you have worked with LLMs or built with AI-enabled tools.
Why Join LeanScaper?
- Help lead the technical evolution of an industry
- Work in a fast-moving, collaborative team that values execution
- Make a measurable impact on small businesses across the country
At LeanScaper, we believe in people over profit, leading with impact, continuous improvement,
and the power of community.
