MeltPlan | Planning Engine for the Built Environment MeltPlan is building the “planning engine” for the $14 Tn construction industry, an AI system designed specifically to optimize decisions before construction begins. While design software optimizes use and aesthetics and construction software optimizes execution and control, MeltPlan is building the missing layer - software that optimizes decisions and tradeoffs upstream, before scope is locked, procurement begins, and change orders become inevitable. MeltPlan’s long-term goal is to help teams make construction “boring” by making planning more intense: surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, aligning stakeholders before plans are frozen, and reducing the need for late-stage redlines, rework, and change orders. MeltPlan is founded by operators who have built at scale. Kanav previously co-founded Innovaccer, a $3Bn health-tech company focused on making US healthcare more affordable and accessible. He’s now applying that systems-level thinking to construction.He’s joined by Tanmaya Kala, former Project Executive at DPR Construction, who led large commercial, healthcare, and life sciences projects. We combine deep tech scale with real construction execution. What This Role Really Is We are hiring a UI Engineering Lead with minimum 10 years of work exp , to drive frontend architecture scalable UI systems, and user experience across internal and external applications. The role involves building modern web applications using React, TypeScript, Next.js, Vite, and TailwindCSS, while leading reusable component development and microfrontend architecture using Module Federation. You will work closely with product and engineering teams, integrate Firebase services, and ensure frontend quality through Playwright and Vitest testing frameworks. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in frontend engineering, scalable design systems, and modern UI architecture. What You’ll Do Build and maintain scalable frontend
