About Serve Robotics Over 40% of restaurant deliveries in the US are within 30 minutes walking distance, yet 90% of the time, we are moving two-pound burritos with two-ton cars! We are reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk delivery robot, Serve, is a small, low-speed self-driving vehicle that’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets to save energy and reduce emissions, while making deliveries faster and cheaper. Having completed thousands of commercial deliveries for Postmates (now Uber) in Los Angeles and San Francisco, we recently spun out with backing from top tier investors to grow faster and target the entire sidewalk delivery market. Our commercial agreement with Uber provides us unlimited access to delivery jobs—and thus revenue. We are proud to be an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. Qualified applicants are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
