Standard Bots, San Francisco, CA
We are looking for an exceptional Staff Software Engineer to work on site with one of our largest customers. That customer is an AI robotics company that drives our arms from its own models through our streaming APIs and SDK. You join our SDK and external APIs team and build on our platform. For the first nine to twelve months, you spend most of your week at the customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Your impact will be measured not just by fixing their problem but building production level fixes that make it into our product. It will also be measured by how much of what you learn on site shapes the platform for all developers who build on our APIs.
We are looking for a technically deep, product-minded engineer who wants to see their work run in a customer's facility every day. You are direct and tactful with customers, hard to push into shortcuts, and quick to ramp on a large existing codebase. You want to spend most of your week at a customer site.
This role is on site at our customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week, for the first nine to twelve months. You start with about a month of onboarding with the team, followed by at least two weeks in our New York City office. After that, you return to New York for a week every one to two months. When the on-site engagement ends, the role continues on the SDK and external APIs team.
When you are in New York, you work from our office near Grand Central Station:
The base salary range for this role is $215,000 to $275,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
Standard Bot's mission is to significantly lower the barrier to entry to real-world automation, bringing the power of bits to the world of atoms and unlocking productivity for entire new industries and users. Our user-facing applications and APIs directly empower individuals and developers to jump directly into solving their challenges without the need for a background in robotics or automation. A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings this revolutionary potential to new users and industries.
