Chief Operating Officer

Everything humanity depends on is mined, dug, or grown. At AIM, we are building the autonomous linchpin of civilization. We transform heavy machinery—bulldozers, loaders, excavators—into AI-powered fleets that operate continuously, safely, and at peak performance in the world’s harshest environments.

AIM runs production mines, large scale infrastructure builds, and defense operations as a TRL9 hardened system, not a science experiment.

Built by engineers from mining, construction, Waymo, SpaceX, Google and Tesla, AIM enables scalable earthmoving, turbocharging the global economy’s physical foundation. AIM is backed by some of the most sophisticated capital in the world, including General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Elad Gil, Human Capital, Ironspring Ventures, Mantis, DCVC.

You will run the operational backbone of the company, and lead AIM’s operations through rapid growth.

As the COO, you will be the architect of AIM’s scaling engine. This is a high-leverage role reporting directly to the CEO, designed for a leader who thrives with a maximum degree of autonomy.

You own the execution of the terraforming mission. You have the mandate to build, dismantle, and optimize the operating systems required to deploy physical AI at a planetary scale. If you require a step-by-step manual, this isn't the role for you. If you define the manual, you belong at AIM.
