At TerraFirma, we are revolutionizing the way earth is moved for construction projects. Established by former SpaceX engineers and supported by Bain Capital Ventures, we are committed to automating construction to enhance speed, cost-effectiveness, and safety.Our Story & MissionHaving contributed to groundbreaking achievements at SpaceX, including the development of the largest rocket and the deployment of a vast satellite constellation, we learned that infrastructure is pivotal.At Starbase, we recognized that the major obstacle in launching missions to Mars was not the rocket's construction but rather the slow, expensive, and complex process of developing the necessary infrastructure. The lack of buildings, roads, water, power, communication, and waste management made the construction process disproportionately time-consuming and resource-intensive.Analyzing this from a first-principles perspective revealed a crucial truth: creating the foundations for progress should not be this challenging or costly. This insight led us to apply the same engineering principles that drove our success in space exploration and mass manufacturing to the realm of infrastructure. By introducing simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation to construction, we are poised to unlock a new era of building.Accelerating infrastructure fosters progress across various domains, establishing a self-sustaining engine for tackling humanity's most pressing challenges. The innovations we create on Earth will pave the way for the technologies that will ultimately facilitate settlement on Mars.Job OverviewAs the inaugural finance hire at TerraFirma, you will be responsible for shaping and scaling our finance operations.
