TL;DR

Pillar is an Italian startup founded on February 13, 2025. In less than a year we have grown to 30 people and raised a €15.2 millions to revolutionize the construction industry.

Our goal is to become the digital backbone of construction for the Italian building sector and, in the long run, to manage 1 in 3 construction sites across Europe.

We are looking for a Web Growth Engineer to build our online acquisition engine.

Full-time, competitive salary based on experience + potential equity.

Who We Are (and Why We Exist)

The Italian construction industry is the backbone of the country's economy, involving nearly 5 million people — yet it is still managed with outdated tools. Job sites that invoice but don't collect, spreadsheets everywhere, decisions made by gut feeling, and margins that surface too late.

Pillar was built to solve this problem at its root.

We have built an all-in-one platform that allows construction companies to oversee every job site, monitor profitability in real time, generate instant estimates, and automatically reconcile invoices with bank transactions. We are not testing an idea: we are building the digital infrastructure of construction.

Our mission is to rebuild its foundations.

Our ambition is to manage 1 in 3 construction sites in Europe.

We are Italian, but with a European vision.

Why We Are Looking for This Profile

We are entering a phase where growth can no longer be purely sales-driven. We need to build a scalable, measurable, and optimized acquisition engine.

We are looking for someone to build and optimize the web infrastructure that will take Pillar to become the industry standard.

This is not a "website maintenance" role.

It is a builder role.

What You'll Do

You will sit at the intersection of Marketing, Product, and Data.

In practice:

  • Develop and optimize the website with a focus on conversion and performance.

  • Implement A/B tests, experiments, and advanced tracking systems.

  • Continuously improve funnels, landing pages, and CRO.

  • Work on technical SEO and performance (Core Web Vitals, site structure, indexing).

  • Collaborate with marketing to launch new high-impact pages and campaigns.

  • Build dashboards and measurement systems to understand what works and what doesn't.

Your one goal: turn the website into a growth machine.

Who We're Looking For

We are not just looking for a developer. We are looking for someone who thinks in terms of growth.

This is you if:

  • You have frontend development experience (e.g. Next.js, React, or similar).

  • You know how to work with analytics and tracking tools (GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, etc.).

  • You have worked on CRO, A/B testing, or growth projects.

  • You think in metrics: conversion rate, CAC, LTV, funnel.

  • You enjoy testing, measuring, and iterating fast.

  • You see yourself as a builder and want to create something that doesn't exist yet.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in startups or high-growth environments.

  • Technical SEO skills.

  • Familiarity with no-code / low-code tools for rapid experimentation.

Autonomy is required. Ownership is required. A growth mindset is required.

How We Work at Pillar

At Pillar, we all row in the same direction — like a crew in a boat: when one person accelerates, we all do. We believe in genuine empowerment: we give you direction, tools, and clear goals, but the initiative starts with you. We work directly and fast, without unnecessary bureaucracy, measuring results and giving honest feedback.

If you are looking for a comfortable, predictable environment, this is not the place. If you want to build a growth engine from scratch, it is.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary based on experience

  • Potential equity component

  • Real ownership of a critical growth area

  • Meritocratic growth: impact = advancement

  • Office in Milan (Corso XXII Marzo area)

  • Offsite every 6 months

  • A young, ambitious team that wants to build something great

Selection Process

  • Introductory call

  • Technical interview

  • Practical case / analysis and improvement proposal exercise

  • Final meeting with one of the founders

If you want to maintain websites already optimized by someone else, this is not the right role.

If you want to build the growth engine that will take Pillar to manage 1 in 3 construction sites in Europe, apply.

Let's build something great. Together. 🧱
