Job description

Pattern Labs is on a mission to bring predictability and efficiency to the most demanding, fastest paced, dynamic logistics problem of airport operations. We are a venture backed Autonomy/AI Robotics team developing a suite of tools to enhance and improve operations for airports across the country and around the world.

Candidates should be experienced leaders with a strong entrepreneurial streak. They will be ready to contribute broadly across all cloud software aspects with a hands‑on leadership approach. You will be working with customers and coordinating the activities of hundreds of vehicles to facilitate the movement of tens of thousands of deliveries per day. Ideal candidates have experience with cloud systems at production scale, enjoy working with customers to understand their problems, and are excited to work with robotics. At Pattern, we value enthusiasm, energy, humility, grit, and a can‑do attitude.

About The Role

This Software Manager role is an opportunity to start a new office in the UK for Pattern. It will require a blend of technical leadership, personal development & coaching, and direct software contributions. This role will span both typical management responsibilities and broader organisational ones such as fostering a great culture, building a cohesive team, and working with a very high degree of autonomy. You will help build a close collaboration with the US team but will be working on projects led out of the new office and working typical UK business hours.

An ideal candidate would be someone with 5+ years of industry experience with at least 2 in a leadership role in the areas of cloud software development and production deployments. Candidates should be comfortable with Python, Go, and understand the challenges associated with production cloud software deployments.

The role includes substantial independence for this leader to build the skills and capabilities of their team while creating a vision and direction for the office as a whole. Someone with a desire to accomplish big things while helping those around them become better engineers will excel. The Pattern UK office will help build great software to improve the products, support our UK operations, and grow with the company over time. A leader with interest in robotics, logistics operations, and customer relationship management will help expand our reach to the UK and Europe.

We are looking to expand to the United Kingdom, with this role helping to define the office location, hire people to join it, and support our growing customer base in Europe.

About Pattern Labs

Founded in the US in Colorado, we are growing rapidly into the leading provider of automation tools and software solutions for airport logistics. Our combination of the Pathfinder autonomous vehicle and Pulse cloud software orchestration is gaining strong traction with customers and generating excitement throughout the world.

• At Pattern we are committed to being a fun, groundbreaking, and inclusive place to work. We strongly encourage engineers from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to apply.
