We believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place. But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business.
Tutor Intelligence is changing that.
Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence.
Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems.
Our mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.
The Role
As our first GTM Builder / Engineer, you'll build the operating system for how Tutor finds, wins, and grows our customer base in the physical economy. You'll write software to unlock potential that was not previously accessible, by building whole workflows, tools, integrations, and agents from scratch, to build Tutor's GTM team into a leading technology-driven function.
In this role, you'll embed as a member of our go-to-market team, and own outcomes for the team through technology. You'll study existing processes, identify bottlenecks and opportunities for growth through technology, ideate the right systems and solutions, and write, own, and sustain their implementation in software. You'll sit in the GTM room alongside our account executives, sales enablement, and demand generation, and develop the world-class GTM operating system that integrates with the wider Tutor system: our robots, deployments, data, and more.
Most of your work will be self-directed: start from a goal, and build the system that makes it possible. You'll join our internal systems team: a strategic team of engineers already embedded across deployment, manufacturing, maintenance, and hardware and software engineering, building products, solutions, and systems that let each function run smoothly and ambitiously, with the leverage for scale. You'll be the first builder dedicated to GTM.
You'll start by taking over and extending go-to-market tools we've already built. From there you'll steward the entire domain as the business grows, using the tools alongside the team and improving them to handle more scale and complexity.
What you'll work on
- Architect and build the systems our go-to-market motion runs on, including CRM features and data models built from scratch where off-the-shelf tools fall short.
- Build AI agents that automate sales workflows end to end: account research, outbound, call prep, follow-ups, and deal qualification.
- Use AI and software to map our markets and our penetration across the physical economy, and turn that analysis into where we go next.
- Connect go-to-market to the rest of Tutor's stack (robot performance and deployment data, our demo center, internal docs, and our agent platform) so sellers can show customers real outcomes.
- Take over and extend the tools we already have, and keep them working as the team and the business scale.
- Go where the work is: sit with account executives, join customer calls and trade shows, see deployments, and find the next system to build.
- Measure what you ship by the outcomes it moves: pipeline, conversion, and seller time.
What we're looking for
- You've architected and shipped a real system end to end, whether product, internal tooling, or infrastructure, and can explain the design choices behind it.
- You write working software (Python or TypeScript, SQL, APIs) and build with LLMs and AI coding tools every day.
- A technical background with a spike somewhere else: product, strategy, operations, sales, or founding something. Your path probably hasn't been linear.
- Demonstrated passion for, interest in, or experience with go-to-market: selling, growth, partnerships, or building for sales teams. You don't need to have held a go-to-market title.
- High slope: you learn fast, take on ambiguous problems with little direction, and want to make a mark.
- You want to be embedded in a business function. This is not a product engineering or research role.
Nice to haves
- Experience with operations, manufacturing, logistics, or other industrial customers.
- Built go-to-market systems at an early-stage B2B company, ideally hardware or robotics.
- Technical program management, product management, or a past founder or first-of-function role.
- Data warehouses and BI tools.
Why Tutor?
Whether you’re designing robots, closing deals, running deployments, or creating the processes that help us scale, your work doesn’t sit on a shelf. It shows up on real production floors, making physical work safer and more affordable.
Our team of 160+ is driven by curiosity and a genuine love of building. Everyone here takes real ownership, learns fast, and holds a high bar while having each other’s backs. If you love hard problems and creating things that didn’t exist before, you’ll fit right in.
Benefits
We take care of our team so they can do their best work. At Tutor, you’ll get:
- Fully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium.
- A managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Builder Jobs
Get your credentials evaluated before applying
Foreign trade qualifications, apprenticeship certificates, and builder licenses don't automatically transfer to U.S. standards. A credential evaluation from a recognized service establishes equivalency and strengthens your petition before an employer files anything with USCIS.
Target employers with PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to find construction employers who have previously sponsored workers through PERM or H-2B labor certifications. Employers with existing sponsorship infrastructure move faster and face fewer internal approval delays than those filing for the first time.
Distinguish H-2B project work from permanent roles
H-2B sponsorship requires the employer to prove the need is temporary or seasonal, which fits project-based site work but not ongoing residential construction. If you're being hired into a permanent estimating or site supervisor role, the EB-3 skilled worker pathway applies instead.
Verify your role meets specialty occupation standards
Builder roles that involve project management, structural engineering oversight, or design coordination may qualify as H-1B specialty occupations if they require a directly related bachelor's degree. Check O*NET to confirm the job zone and typical education level before assuming only H-2B applies.
Confirm prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer must certify through DOL that your offered wage meets the prevailing wage for your role and location. Run the position through the OFLC Wage Search to verify independently, since underpaying relative to the certified wage can delay or invalidate the labor certification entirely.
Document U.S. employer inability to find local workers
H-2B and PERM both require employers to show they can't fill the role locally. Provide your employer with a detailed skills summary covering specializations like concrete formwork, structural framing, or heritage restoration work, as niche skills narrow the qualifying U.S. worker pool and strengthen the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa types are available for builder jobs in the U.S.?
The H-2B visa covers temporary or seasonal construction work, while the EB-3 skilled worker green card suits permanent builder positions requiring at least two years of experience or training. If your role involves project management or design oversight requiring a bachelor's degree, H-1B visa may also apply. The right pathway depends on whether the need is temporary or ongoing.
Do builder roles require a college degree for visa sponsorship?
Most builder positions don't require a degree. H-2B and EB-3 skilled worker sponsorship are based on experience, apprenticeship training, and trade qualifications rather than academic credentials. The exception is H-1B, which requires a directly related bachelor's degree. For trade-based roles like carpentry, formwork, or framing, documented experience and foreign credential evaluations carry more weight than formal degrees.
How long does it take for an employer to sponsor a builder on H-2B?
H-2B processing typically runs three to five months from the start of the DOL temporary labor certification through USCIS approval of the I-129 petition. The timeline is tighter for peak-season construction starts because H-2B has a 66,000 annual cap split across two half-year periods, and demand often fills allocations quickly. Employers need to begin at least four months before the job start date.
How can I find employers sponsoring builder jobs?
Migrate Mate lists U.S. construction employers with verified visa sponsorship history, searchable by location and role type. Focusing on employers who've sponsored before is the most reliable starting point, since they already understand the DOL and USCIS filing requirements and are more likely to repeat the process for a qualified candidate.
Can a builder switch to a green card after working on an H-2B?
H-2B doesn't allow dual intent, so using it as a direct bridge to a green card carries immigration risk. However, if you return home after your H-2B period and a U.S. employer sponsors you for an EB-3 position, you can pursue consular processing for the green card from outside the U.S. USCIS will assess each application independently, so maintaining clean nonimmigrant status during your H-2B period matters.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Builder jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
