💰 $165,000 - $165,000 🌍 San Francisco, California 📅 03/02/2022
ApplyWho 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 500,000
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 On
the machine learning team, we primarily work on building and maintaining
technology within Roboflow’s training, search and deployment services, but
from time to time we're also helping deliver on enterprise contracts, and
coding awesome open source projects and sample projects. In the beginning, you
will be tackling projects in close collaboration with your fellow machine
learning and product team members. As you progress in your knowledge of
Roboflow’s mission and tools, you will have a wide degree of freedom to
advocate for and drive your own projects. If you need a rigid list of tasks
spelled out in a multi-month roadmap, this role probably won't be a good fit.
We’re especially keen to add some rigor to our processes and build the
foundation for scaling the engineering organization and the machine learning
team. You certainly don't need to be an expert in all of these areas; but
should be excited to learn new skill sets as you need them. The above tools
span code in our machine learning stack to date - your opinions on new
technologies that we adapt for new tasks will be highly valued. 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 are essential responsibilities. 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. 📅 Within one month, you will… Spend the first week
onboarding in person with your manager (you'll come to our NY or SF Hub!)
Start building a trusting relationship with your peers, and learning the
company structure. Ship a substantial new feature to an end user or to our
team within your first week Build your first Roboflow computer vision product
(if you haven't already) Improving and expanding the capabilities of the
Roboflow Inference Server Building an ecosystem of add-ons that work closely
with the Roboflow Inference Server to enable features like device tracking,
active learning, etc. 📅 Within three months, you will… Ensuring uptime of
training and inference infrastructure Iterating on training infrastructure to
provide the best experience for our AutoML users while incurring the least
cost for Roboflow Integrating Autodistill into the Roboflow platform to
bootstrap projects with zero shot labeling. 📅 Within six months, you will…
Attend your first all company onsite Be ramped up on other relevant parts of
the Roboflow product. Who You Are Backend: node, Docker, python, Flask, pip,
REST Machine Learning: PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, OpenVINO, TensorRT, TFjs
AWS: EC2, ECR, ECS, Lambda, Cloud Watch, Batch, S3 Google Cloud: Cloud
Functions, Cloud Storage, PubSub, GCE, GKE, Elastic Frontend: Firebase, React,
jQuery, HTML, CSS We anticipate the role being focused 60% on backend, 20% on
machine learning, and 20% on other areas. 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+ engineering organization, amongst many
exceptional others. You will directly be working with our Machine Learning
Lead and a team of Machine Learning Engineers. 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 base salary. 📈
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.
