Company Overview
Construction is a $13T industry that powers civilization. It’s also running on PDFs, rulers, and 1990s software.
The biggest choke point? Cost estimates. Takeoffs are manual, brutal, and slow — estimators spend days counting materials from drawings by hand. One mistake blows millions.
Bobyard is automating construction takeoff with AI.
We use CV + NLP to read drawings like a senior estimator, but 10x faster with zero errors. What took 3 days now takes 30 minutes. We’re turning the most painful part of construction into software.
We’re a lean, elite team backed by the best VCs on earth: 8VC, Primary, and Pear. We’re building next-gen software to drag the built world into the future.
Position Overview
Great products win markets. As we scale our core and launch new 0 → 1 bets, we need a product leader who operates like a founder. You’ll own the product roadmap end-to-end. You will:
Live in customer workflows: Get in the field with estimators, PMs, and GCs. Understand the job better than they can articulate it.
Shape vision & roadmap: Decide what we build, what we kill, and how we win. Turn market chaos into a product that feels inevitable.
Create, iterate, and validate new products: Own 0 → 1. From napkin to revenue. Test, ship, learn, repeat.
Execute with engineering and UI/UX: No handoffs. You’re in the details — specs, Figma, code reviews, user calls.
Communicate vision with marketing & sales: Make the market believe. Arm GTM to sell what we build and shape the category.
Desired Attributes
Founder-level drive: You roll up your sleeves. Ambiguity and chaos are where you thrive. You ship.
Learning speed & resourcefulness: No construction background required. You’ll be dangerous in 30 days. You hunt down answers.
Passion and work ethic: Startups are war. This isn’t a cushy PM job at Google. You want to build something legendary.
Organized operator: You’ll get 1000 requests from 100s of customers. You turn noise into signal and signal into product.

Bobyard Insights
What We Do
