Full Stack Engineer

Who We Are

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

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 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includeshttps://blog.roboflow.com/cancer-research-computer-vision/ counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improvinghttps://blog.roboflow.com/preventing-accidents-on-construction-sites-with-computer-vision/ construction site safety,https://blog.roboflow.com/floor-plan-analysis-computer-vision/ digitizing floor plans,https://blog.roboflow.com/reefos-supercharging-coral-reef-restoration-with-ai/ preserving coral reef populations,https://blog.roboflow.com/georeferencing-drone-videos/ guiding drone flight, andhttps://roboflow.com/templates much more.

Roboflow is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

Roboflowers are passionate builders who value ownership, accountability, and a bias toward action. We're curious, hands-on with new tech, and prefer showing our work over talking about it. Many of us have a founder mindset and thrive in our high-autonomy environment.

What You'll Do

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 http://node.js/ 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).

Example Projects

• Creating a filtering interface so our users can mix and match their images based on metadata like the time of day they were captured, the GPS location, or custom tags they've applied.

• Expanding our annotation tool to support new functionality (like polygonal annotations image segmentation).

• Integrating the core app with external APIs for things like outsourcing annotation tasks and analyzing deployed model performance.

• Streamlining our flow.

• Deeper integrations with our other products like Roboflow Universe and our REST API.

• Next-generation model assisted labeling.

• Optimizing speed and scalability.
