Job description

Overview

We’re seeking a Product Engineer to join our NYC-based team (we are an in-person company) to build the glue between OP-1 and our customers’ systems. You are a full-stack engineer who will build all of the systems around the robot: the customer UX for working with Ultra, internal ops and support tooling, or whatever the next highest priority is. You'll own features end-to-end (and might touch robot code in the process).

Who You Are

• You have 5+ years of professional software development experience
• You consider yourself a software generalist and have worked on a variety of software systems, with a soft spot for Python/TypeScript-based web stacks.
• You turn high-level, open-ended problem statements into quality technical solutions (and can handle all of the in-between steps)
• You’re dangerous with LLMs because you know when they're wrong
• You know how to deploy high-quality production code as a part of a software team and are comfortable moving uncomfortably fast

What You’ll Do

• Design and build customer-facing product for running and managing robots in their warehouses, and iterate from how they’re actually used on the warehouse floor
• Build the internal tools for ops, support, and deployment so we can scale without heroics
• Pinch-hit across the stack as needed (Android VR dev, on the robot, future mobile app)

Bonus Points

• You're a former startup founder
• You’ve built self-improving, agentic systems in the past
• You have a strong product sense and know all about UX in HIL systems
