The Role
You will be one of the first fullstack hires. That means you own product surfaces end-to-end, including the schema, API, UI, deployment, and being on-call when it breaks. You will work next to the ML and robotics engineers, but you are the person customers actually interact withevery day.
You'll spend your time on things like:
- The customer-facing app where engineers upload CAD, configure models, and watch their lines.
- The internal tools our deployment engineers use to get a customer from the first call to running in production in days instead of quarters.
- The data plumbing that turns synthetic runs, real captures, and production telemetry into something we can reason about.
- Early-stage companies create constantly shifting priorities. We value people who can navigate ambiguity without losing momentum.
Stack: Ruby on Rails, ERB, React, Postgres. We chose boring tools on purpose. We'd rather spend our novelty budget on the vision models.
Who You Are
Rockstar? Pass. Thoughtful? Let's talk.
We hire eager learners, conscientious workers, and kind, supportive humans. We look for people who set their own priorities, ask their own questions, and ship without being managed into it. We don't weight where you went to school, where you worked before, whether you graduated or dropped out, or how decorated the resume looks. We care about who you are today, how you'll be tomorrow, and what you can do this week.
On top of that, this particular role needs:
- Roughly five years shipping fullstack web software at a production level.
- Opinions about data models and the ability to defend them without an ego.
- Comfort across the whole stack: schema, API, React, deploy. No handoffs to a teammate to do your job.
- Energy for hard-tech problems and a real wanting to be in the building with the team.
- Either startup experience, or a clear-eyed sense of exactly why you want to leave a bigger company.
Nice to have, not required: experience with manufacturing, robotics, computer vision, or any kind of physical-world software. Curiosity matters more than the resume line.
