Construction Manager at Pipedream Labs

About:

Pipedream Labs is on a mission to scale hyperlogistics this decade. We run autonomous robots through pipes buried underground to help remove emissions, congestion, and cost out of the current logistics system. We’re literally building from the ground up, and need fiercely independent thinkers and doers to help make the dream a reality.

Our goal is to make delivery so fast and effortless that almost anything you need can be delivered in single digit minutes or less. To do this, we need to bring in the best talent in the world and provide them the tools & support they’ll need to do the best work of their careers. While we have extremely high hiring standards, a candidate’s past projects, drive, and humility supersedes their degree(s), and their experience. Some of our first hires were previous founders who sold their respective companies, and some of our hires were still in college.
