At Aphex, we’re on a mission to make it easier for construction teams to get on the same page with a live, multiplayer planning platform. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards, and outdated systems, we build tools that allow anyone on a project to plan and communicate their work with complete visibility of everyone around them.
Our customers are the largest construction contractors, responsible for the tunnels, roads, bridges, and buildings we use daily. Our users are the engineers managing and planning these incredible projects.
We’ve already made an impact, since launching our V1 in the UK in 2019 and entering the Australian market in 2022, we’ve become the leading solution in both markets. With strong product-market fit in these markets, we’re in the early stages of scaling our go-to-market team globally, and we’re looking for people who are energised by the idea of improving an industry that contributes to around 13% of global GDP.

From here, we will conduct 2-3 rounds of interviews, focusing on mutual discovery of alignment on long-term goals and fit. As we are a remote first business, with teams across APAC, Asia and Europe we are sometimes working asynchronously.
The first stage of our interview process is conducted async as a recorded video interview stage, which we’ve found to be the best balance of time for both applicants and our team engaged in the hiring process - helping to avoid you needing to try and squeeze a first interview during work hours.
