Job Description

by our shared mission: automating construction. Our founding team (SpaceX,

and worked on +$2 billion of built-environment projects. We aren’t another
out-of-touch tech startup, most of our team comes from construction.

construction. Given our immense traction with several Fortune 500 construction

this year. You will have an opportunity to drive the transformation of a
multi-trillion-dollar industry full of waste, risks and inefficiencies.
