Roboflow
👉 Please reference you found the job on Remote Software Engineering Jobs, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
The same resources that successfully helped engineers get offers from Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. With proven results and used by over a million people all around the world...
Join the team. Machine learning is the most transformative technology of our lifetime. Your work will shape its adoption.
Computer vision is the input that software relies on to (re)write how we interact with the world around us. Developers need it to be broadly accessible.
Over 100,000 developers build with Roboflow’s tools, but that’s a small fraction of how many will need to. Every existing industry—and many new ones—will use computer vision. From diagnosing cancer more accurately to identifying new galaxies to building electric vehicles, engineers are building the future we want to live in with CV.
You can work from anywhere in the world, though you have the opportunity to co-locate with team members often through various onsites, lighthouses (sporadic coworking in cities of your choosing ), or other team members in your area. We call it remote, not distant.
We hire “full stack people.” You own an outcome and possess (or eagerly learn) the skills to deliver it. As an engineer, that may mean understanding a feature, writing it, and documenting it for users. In growth, that could include building example projects, sharing them, and driving their adoption.
We offer industry leading benefits, so you can focus on doing your best work (including 401k, covering up to 100% of your healthcare premium, and a productivity stipend to cover the tools you need to do your best work, like your home internet bill or co-working pass).
Roboflow is rapidly expanding our engineering team to address the groundswell of user and customer needs. Over 100,000 developers (spanning from students to individual hackers & hobbyists to startups to employees of some of the world’s biggest companies) have now used Roboflow to build computer vision projects. Soon, every developer will have computer vision as a tool in their toolbox. Roboflow will be for computer vision what Microsoft was for the PC and Google was for the Internet.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for strong technical generalists to contribute to our core product and help us build the foundation for our rapidly expanding company.
As an integral part of our early team, this role will inevitably involve wearing a lot of hats. Wide-ranging curiosity and enthusiasm for diving into abstract problems, coming up with good solutions, and seeing them through to completion is essential.
Our core belief is that computer vision is a foundational technology that is going to transform nearly every industry. This is an opportunity to shape how millions of developers will experience and use it for the first time. Your contribution will have a massive impact.
EXAMPLE PROJECTS
To give you an idea of what it will be like to work here, here are a few projects you might work on in your first few months:
You'll be tasked with a wide range of projects. Each engineer has a realm they focus on, but we're still small enough that we don't have the luxury of deep specialization. We're looking for technical generalists that aren’t afraid to dive into a new stack or toolchain if the need arises (but JavaScript and Node.js make up the brunt of the existing codebase).
Most of the things we work on are parts of the core product (which is an end-to-end pipeline for building computer vision projects spanning from image ingestion to annotation to training and deployment) but from time to time we're also working on things like integrating marketing and sales tools, fighting fires, automating internal processes, and open source projects.
You'll have a wide degree of freedom to advocate for which projects you think should be highest priority and will contribute to our strategy decisions. If you need a rigid list of tasks spelled out in a multi-month roadmap, this role probably won't be a good fit.
The majority of our codebase is written in JavaScript, our machine learning and image processing pipeline is in Python. We run primarily on Firebase and GCS, with some machine learning infrastructure on AWS. We're increasingly using Docker (both internally and for customer facing products like our edge inference server). A lot of our code runs in the browser (including some Tensorflow JS) but we're also working on building APIs and client libraries in several languages.
You certainly don't need to be experienced in all of these areas; but should be excited to learn new skill sets as you need them. We also hope you'll bring some new knowledge and experiences you can share to help level-up the rest of the team.
We’re especially keen to add some rigor to our processes and build the foundation for rapidly scaling the engineering organization (for example: we currently have limited tests and are not using an opinionated front-end framework -- things that will need to change over the coming months in order to be able to seamlessly expand the team).
We're a tightly-knit and highly technical team. As a startup, speed and decisiveness are important; we try to demonstrate that during the hiring process.
We aim to screen, interview, make a decision, send and finalize an offer within 2 weeks of application.
