Serve is delivering a sustainable future, designed to center peopleand our communities. Our team is founded by serial entrepreneurs and veteran leaders in robotics and artificial intelligence.

We serve our neighborhoods and support local businesses. We go beyond self interest, always taking our community into account. We empower each other with trust and autonomy, because we think that’s the best way to solve the big problems and to build a sustainable future.

We are mission driven. We value each other and our community. We celebrate milestones and moments, both at Serve and in our personal life.

Both to our customers or to each other! We exceed customer expectations. We bring joy to our work and to our neighborhoods.

Serve started with an insight: that delivery could be smarter, kinder, safer, and more in sync with how we live now. What if delivery didn’t mean more cars, more noise, more stress?

So we built something small, quiet, thoughtful. A robot that rolls at walking speed, waits its turn at crosswalks, and fits into the rhythm of everyday life. It has 98% less emissions, 90% less weight, and 99% less kinetic energy than a car.

Robots are not the future. They’re right here, right now!

You’ll have a contact person at Serve for every step of your interview.

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.

The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end‑to‑end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
