Highlights
- Own human-robot interfaces used to run, monitor, and debug robots live.
- Design for safety so state is clear and failures degrade predictably.
- Build one surface that guides operators through full shifts across sites.
Ideal candidate
A product-minded fullstack builder who thrives in ambiguity and learns by watching operators. You care about safety-critical UX where physical consequences make friction matter.
Requirements
- Strong fullstack experience building production web applications and APIs, especially with React, TypeScript, and Python
- Realtime web experience with WebRTC, WebSockets, streaming video, and state synchronization
- Comfort with binary wire formats and schema-defined interfaces such as protobuf and gRPC
- Experience shipping on-prem or on-device software with degraded-network operation and fleet versioning
- Strong UX instincts for high-stakes, high-frequency interfaces under time pressure
- Comfort designing workflows where people, hardware, and software function as one system
- Strong product judgment working directly with users through ambiguous workflows
