Founding Product Manager

Job description

## **About Rebar** Rebar is building the AI operating system for commercial HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing. Over the past year our quoting platform has processed tens of thousands of projects across North America and we’ve doubled our revenue in the first 6 weeks of this year. Our customers include many of the top firms in the industry. Some of these companies are running billion dollar construction projects on workflows that still look like it’s 1985. Construction is 10% of GDP and still massively underserved by software. We are changing that. We recently raised a $14M Series A from leading construction tech investors and are entering our next phase of growth. We are building a set of AI native products that will define how this industry operates. We are looking for a Product Manager who wants to build real products, move fast, and take ownership early.
