Wildcard

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 & 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) & experience. Some of our first hires were previous founders who sold their respective companies, and some of them were/are still in college. 

Values:

  1. Be human

  2. Be a good partner

  3. Lead with passion

  4. Stay curious

  5. Simplify and execute

What this position is:

You probably clicked on this application out of sheer curiosity — wondering what is a wildcard? A wildcard is a card that can have any value, suit, color, or other property in a game, at the discretion of the player holding it. At Pipedream, our entire team consists of people with various disciplines and unique skill sets. We’re looking for the BEST talent in the world, and that talent doesn’t always fit into a job description. If you are someone who has a wide history of learning really quickly and just getting stuff done, you have a future here at Pipedream.

Requirements:

You are going to have a lot of independence & ownership over your work. To be considered, here’s the must-haves:

  • Comfortable operating in pure chaos, and makes effort to bringing order to it

  • Likes solving problems with unclear solutions

Responsibilities:

At Pipedream you will be turning ideas into a reality which includes defining the constraints of your projects, figuring out the quickest way to get them done, and finding a way to systematize that process or product long term.

  • Spearheading random stuff you’ve probably never done before, but you can “figure it out”

  • Providing consistent feedback or suggestions on how to improve our processes (calling out BS when you see it)

  • Owning projects completely.

As a small team prioritizing versatility and agility, we value generalists who can navigate across various subfields of robotics, bringing solutions from concept to deployment quickly (and in sometimes rapidly-changing directions).

Benefits:

At Pipedream we ask a lot of our employees, which is why we are willing to curate a work environment that respects your work-life balance needs and ultimately takes care of you on all ends. In addition to your competitive salary & medical/dental/vision/lifestyle plan, we’ll flood you with perks, including:

  • Schedule flexibility: you choose your hours, WFH as-needed

  • 4 weeks of PTO (mandatory), plus holidays

  • Stock Option Plan

  • Family Leave (maternity & paternity)

  • Our office is dog-friendly, located 10-mins away from Downtown Austin
