Strategic Finance Generalist

At Miter were on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If were successful well make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads bridges utilities data centers housing etc.

For decades construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s.

Thats where Miter comes in. Were using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR finance and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Miter contractors like Marathon Electrical W.J. ONeil and Truebeck Construction are building stronger teams controlling job costs and accelerating jobsite execution.

This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2021 weve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum weve raised $50M from top investors (Bessemer Coatue and Battery) who share our belief that were just getting started.

Miter uses AI-assisted tools as part of our hiring process to help our recruiting team manage and review applications more efficiently. We want to be transparent about how this works.

What the AI does: When you apply to a role at Miter an AI tool may review your application against the specific qualifications and requirements posted for that job. This tool identifies whether your experience appears to meet partially meet or not meet each stated requirement and it provides supporting evidence from your application for every assessment it makes.

What the AI does not do: The AI does not make hiring decisions. It does not reject advance or rank candidates on its own and it does not assign you a numerical score. Every application is reviewed by a member of our recruiting team who makes the final call on whether you move forward. The AI is a tool that helps our team prioritize their time across a high volume of applications. It is not a substitute for human judgment.

What information it uses: The tool evaluates the application materials you submit (your resume and any other application content) against role-specific criteria our team has defined. It does not pull information from external sources such as social media or professional networking profiles and personal identifying information is removed from your materials before any AI review takes place.

Human oversight: Our recruiting team periodically reviews how these tools are performing to check for unintended patterns in outcomes and we retain the ability to override any AI-generated assessment at any time.

Your options: If you would like to know more about how AI is used in connection with your application or if you would prefer your application be reviewed through a fully manual process without AI assistance contact us at and we will accommodate that request.
