Job description

Teleo is a robotics startup disrupting a trillion-dollar industry. Teleo converts construction heavy equipment, like loaders, dozers, excavators, trucks, etc. into autonomous robots. This technology allows a single operator to efficiently control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering substantial benefits to our customers while significantly enhancing operator safety and comfort.

Teleo is founded by Vinay Shet and Rom Clément, experienced technology executives who led the development of Lyft’s Self Driving Car and Google Street View. Teleo is backed by YCombinator, Up Partners, F-Prime Capital, and a host of industry luminaries. Teleo’s product is already deployed on several continents and generating revenue.

Teleo is poised for rapid growth. This presents a unique opportunity to be part of a team that is creating a product with a profound impact on our customers, working on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots, engineering intricate systems at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI, and joining the early stages of an exciting startup journey.

About the Role

Own and professionalize Teleo's full-stack platform. Unify fragmented internal tools and customer-facing products into a cohesive, production‑grade stack. Establish engineering standards for web and cloud development across the company and scale the platform as the business grows.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and development of customer-facing dashboards and internal tools
• Consolidate and harden a landscape of full-stack applications into maintainable, well‑tested production services
• Define and enforce engineering standards: API design, code quality, testing, CI/CD, and deployment practices for all full‑stack work
• Build and maintain backend services in Python and Node.js on AWS (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, S3, Cognito)
• Develop responsive frontend experiences in React with TypeScript
• Manage cloud infrastructure using infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform or CDK)
• Integrate with hardware systems via REST APIs and WebSockets for control and telemetry
• Participate in remote support rotations, including occasional early/late hours

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional full‑stack development (Python + React/TypeScript)
• Strong backend fundamentals: REST API design, authentication, database modeling
• Production AWS experience (Lambda, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, or comparable services)
• DevOps experience: CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and production operations
• Demonstrated ability to own and ship products end‑to‑end with minimal oversight
• Comfortable working in office in Palo Alto, CA

Preferred Qualification

• Infrastructure‑as‑code: Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation
• Frontend state management, component architecture, and modern React patterns
• Securing and hardening web applications for production use
• Monitoring, logging, and alerting for production web services
• Working across multiple codebases and projects simultaneously

Bonus Points

• Early‑stage startup experience, comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and wearing multiple hats
• Hardware‑adjacent experience: comfortable with telemetry systems, embedded device interfaces, or basic electronics concepts
• Experience with ROS
• Experience with C/C++
