About the role: Our fleet of robots actively operates in complex human environments, such as offices, warehouses, and factories, across 3 different continents. Our robots autonomously press elevator buttons to patrol on multiple floors, open handicapped doors, recharge themselves, and detect security and facilities risks using computer vision. We have many exciting problems to solve as our fleet scales and we need your help guiding our robotics team along the way!

    • Lead design reviews, code reviews, and product planning for our robotics team
    • Coach, and if desired, people manage the robotics team
