Head of Engineering
- Full-time
Company Description
We are building the future of construction.
Our mission is to take the latest sensors from self-driving cars, retrofit them into proven equipment from the job site, and develop a suite of autonomous software designed specifically for the requirements of construction and earthmoving. And over the last two years, with a team of a dozen brilliant engineers, roboticists, and construction experts, that’s what we’ve done. It hasn’t been easy—in fact, no one has ever done what we’re doing—but with over $100 billion in earthmoving and grading services performed in the US each year, it feels like we’re onto something.
We’re backed by a $15M Series A from NEA and Founders Fund—two of the largest and most successful VCs in the world. And we’ve already done several pilot construction jobs, with a clear path to scaling our deployment in 2018.
Job Description
As Head of Engineering, you’ll build the team that builds the robot. You’ll be responsible for recruiting, onboarding and leading our engineering team, but you’ll still have time to roll up your sleeves and write some code (or replace a blown hydraulic hose). You’ll prepare us to deploy our robots at scale by combining a deep understanding of our technical roadmap, our customers’ requirements and needs, and our long-term business strategy.
