Vessel Technologies • New York, NY

About The Position

Vessel is a New York City based technology company reinventing how buildings are designed, manufactured, operated, and experienced. We reimagine the building as the ultimate consumer product, bringing together advanced design, engineering, and manufacturing to create buildings that are dramatically more efficient to produce, remarkably simple to operate, and exceptional to experience. Our first product is Calypso, an entirely new kind of apartment building designed from the ground up as an integrated product rather than a one-off construction project. Our mission with Calypso is simple: to overcome the housing crisis and offer each person the opportunity for an extraordinary life. Getting there means doing something that has never been done before. We continually make the building, and everything required to produce it, better. Every building teaches us how to make the next one better.
