About Roboflow

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).

The Position

What You’ll Do

Because our customers use computer vision in so many different industries (accelerating cancer research, improving manufacturing processes, enabling automated checkout, and so much more), your workday will always include an engaging variety of challenges. You will work with sales on delivering demos, building proofs of concepts and prototypes with prospects, and in answering technical questions, assisting in closing deals. You will use your knowledge gathered through sales motions and work with our Customer Success team to determine ways to best drive adoption and successful implementations of computer vision within their products. You will also contribute to the post-sales process (Customer Engineering) in an engineering capacity to ensure our customers are successful throughout their journey with Roboflow. We don’t just stop at signature and onboarding. We want our customers to be life long partners with Roboflow and ensure they are receiving the ROI they envisioned when they first signed on. If you think, “I’m an engineer that loves sharing my work with others,” you’d be in great company in this role.

Team members given are a monthly stipend to purchase anything that might make their remote working locations more comfortable, productive, or successful, like upgrading their home internet or working in a co-working space. We understand that not everyone has the same needs when it comes to remote working, so we want to foster a productive and creative environment that works best for each team member.
  • Professional Development. Want to read an educational book, attend a conference, or take a class to further your professional development? Roboflow offers opportunities to help you grow and learn in your career. Our team is currently taking management and leadership training courses!
