Description

Who We Are

Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.

At Roboflow, we're building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 250,000 developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow's machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more.

Our team is small relative to our impact, and we believe our user success is our success (not the inverse). A team member summarized: "Roboflow is a company full of giant brains and tiny egos." We find software has a multiplier effect on all roles (not only product and engineering), so Roboflow employs developers across the company in design, sales, customer support, marketing, and beyond.

We're supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 23 million from Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

What We're Looking For

Primarily, you like to make great things with passionate colleagues. You are someone that likes to own outcomes, not only inputs. You're motivated by having responsibility and accountability. You're eager to 'do the work,' big and small.

You're curious and learning about new technologies, perhaps an early tinkerer with ChatGPT and AI products. You show more than you tell.

You're motivated by the question, "How can I improve this?" and have a track record of doing so, even in ways adjacent to your role. Much of our current team is made up of former founders and thrive in the level of autonomy at Roboflow. Maybe you had a side hustle in high school or college.

Many Roboflowers have used our tools before joining. One of the best ways to stand out amongst other applicants is to write about something you have built with Roboflow or contribute to one of our open source projects.

What You'll Do

This is a 1 of 1 role as a full stack developer focused on building Roboflow Universe, our open source dataset and model sharing hub, into the pre-eminent computer vision community. We're looking for a generalist that wants to wear many hats; at times you'll need to play the role of engineer (~50% of your time/bandwidth), growth (25%), product manager (20%), and community builder (5%). We're looking for the founder of a future team that will blossom as they grow Universe's scale and impact.

Universe is already the largest and fastest growing collection of open source computer vision datasets and APIs, hosting over 200 million user-labeled images, 200,000 open-source datasets, and 100,000 fine-tuned models for a long-tail of computer vision use-cases. It has thousands of daily users and we are now promoting it to a top-level initiative.

No two days will be the same in this role. Some examples of projects you could work on include:

Expanding our semantic search feature to allow searching by uploading an image

Adding achievements and gamification mechanics

Creating new pages for programmatic SEO

Implementing automated categorization and curation functionality

Integrating with new distribution channels

Tying new features of our core platform into Universe

Optimizing conversion funnels

Building APIs to expose additional functionality to users' applications

Expanding from a read to a read/write paradigm

Showcasing foundation and multimodal models to users

Apart from the things you'll build, you'll also be doing things like:

Diving into metrics to gain insights into how things tick

Talking to users to better understand what they need

Working with our marketing team to do joint initiatives

Running and iterating on experiments/tests you come up with

Within one week, you will...

Learn all about our product, company, customers, and vision.

Get ramped up in our codebase & become familiar with our architecture and backend.

Ship something substantial to an end user.

Within one month, you will...

Onboard in person with our founders at our SF hub.

Build your first computer vision project with Roboflow (if you haven't already)

Be fully ramped up in the codebase & lead your first major initiative.

Take over responsibility for the Universe roadmap.

Within three months, you will...

Deliver several important new tent-pole features on Roboflow Universe.

Be the primary owner of Universe's metrics.

Participate in quarterly planning & chart a course for the next few months.

Develop a vision, strategy, and plan for the future of Roboflow Universe.

Within six months, you will...

Execute against the goals, roadmap & plans.

Attend your first all company onsite.

Who You Are

The ideal candidate for this role is highly technical, curious, and autonomous. As the founding member of the (future) Universe team you'll need to chart your own course. This role would be perfect for a former technical founder.
To be successful, you'll need to be a capable full-stack developer versed in web technologies (like JavaScript and HTML/CSS, , and Python). We use Firebase and ElasticSearch (amongst many other pieces of technology), but you can learn those on the job assuming you have a strong grounding in software development fundamentals.
We'd like for you to have experience growing a web-based product organically (bonus points for familiarity with user generated content, creating network effects, & community). Experience in developer tools and the computer vision / machine learning space is a plus.

Who You'll Be Working With

Our team of ~50 attracts talent like executives that wanted to return to building, founders with a 100M+ exit, Roboflow users turned team members, open source contributors, a cyclist who biked across the United States, prolific high school hackers, a CTO from 100+ person engineering organization, amongst many exceptional others.
You will work directly with our CTO and alongside the rest of our 15-person product/engineering team, with top-notch designers, engineers, and ML experts.

Where You'll Work

Roboflow is distributed across the US and Europe. We currently have Hubs in New York City and San Francisco (and plan to open more as we grow density in new cities). We provide opportunities (like team onsites in different cities) and resources (like a $4000/yr travel stipend) to work in person with other team members as much as you'd like, while also supporting remote team members. You can work from one of our Hubs (we offer a relocation bonus), work from home, work at co-working spaces, etc. We want you to work where you work best

When You'll Work

Roboflow primarily operates during the daytime hours in the US and there are some synchronous meetings you'll be expected to attend each week. Apart from that, we have a flexible schedule that allows you to work collaboratively with other team members and asynchronously when needed.

What You'll Receive

To determine your salary, we use a number of market and data-driven salary sources. We review all salaries every 6 months to ensure we stay in line with the market.

The target compensation for this role is $165,000 + equity.

In addition to our cash compensation, we offer generous perks and benefits. Below are some of the highlights:

A $4000 Travel Stipend to travel anywhere anytime to work with alongside other Roboflowers.

A $350 Productivity stipend to spend on things that make your work environment more productive, like high - speed internet at home or a co-working space.

Coverage of up to 100% of your health insurance costs for you and your partner or family.

Equity in the company so we are all invested in the future of computer vision and Roboflow.

Not sure if this is you?

We want a diverse, global team with a broad range of experience and perspectives.
