Careers ✶ Central Texas
Space Cowboy is hiring across Austin, San Antonio, and the Texas Hill Country. Two open roles, one standard, and a founder who picks up the phone.
Why This Is Here
That is the honest reason this page exists. We build backyard pickleball and multi-use courts, pools, outdoor kitchens, decks, pergolas, and whole-home renovations across Central Texas. We are based in Wimberley, rated 5.0 on Google, and right now we have more signed work than we have people to run it and build it.
So we are hiring two very different people. One to run jobs. One to do the work with their hands. Both matter, neither is a stepping stone to the other, and we would rather take the time to find the right person for each than fill a seat.
Read whichever one fits you. If neither does and you are still interested, there is a way to reach us at the bottom.
Dominic Watler ✶ Founder
Start Here
Pick the one that sounds like you and we will show you what fits. You can always see everything again.
Run your own jobs start to finish. Line up subs, hold them to scope and schedule, and keep the client informed before they have to ask.

The same six things we promise a client are the six things we hold ourselves to internally. This is what they mean from the inside.
Every cut, connection, and transition gets thought through before anything goes up. You will never be asked to rush something out the door that you would not put your name on.
Our favorite projects start as a picture in somebody's head. You get to be the person who turns that into a real thing standing in somebody's backyard. You dream it, we build it.
No cutting corners and no guessing games, and that runs both directions. You get transparent scopes and honest numbers to work from, not a budget somebody hid the truth in.
Ask around: most contractors never pick up. We do, and that includes picking up when you call us. Dominic is one call away, not three layers up.
Our culture is to do it better each time than we did the last. The last project sets the bar and the next one clears it. Nobody here is coasting.
We have the best crews and it shows. Designers, trades, and partners get their names on the win, because nothing great gets built alone. That includes you.
Nothing Fits?
These are the roles we have posted today. They are not the only ways to work here, and the best people we have found were rarely answering an ad at the time.
If you are good at something we build, or you met one of our project managers on a jobsite and liked what you saw, write to us. Tell us what you do and what you are looking for. We read all of it.
[email protected]No phone calls, please. We read every one that comes in and we will reach out if there is something worth talking about.
