The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
OverviewOperations Interns will be given almost as much responsibility as a regular employee. At The Boring Company, 'ownership' is one of our values and we expect all employees, including interns, to own their projects. If hired, you will work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is working toward the common goal of revolutionizing transportation.
