Construction Business Development
Bedrock Robotics · Remote
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world
At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.
We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.
Role Overview
The commercial team owns our partner relationships, helping us find the right job sites for data collection and autonomy, and importantly bringing design partner construction expertise and feedback into the company so that our product managers, operations and engineers can take that feedback and build it into our product roadmap and execution.
This is a construction-native business development role focused on general contractors and earthwork subcontractors. You will help us find and partner with the right early partners, owning these relationships fully: sourcing, qualifying, closing, growing: coordinating deployment, and managing the ongoing relationship as our technology and commercial model mature.
You will build real relationships through in-person and virtual interactions, continuing to keep the bar of service high - building relationships with partners in the field and at the executive level.
