roboflow - Product Engineer

• This is a senior role for someone who has already shipped products real people love and is ready to own entire product surfaces from idea to impact. • You'll be tasked with a large variety of projects. We're still small enough that engineers are expected to have a wide skillset and go from idea conception to feature success. We're looking for product engineers, people whose instinct is to ask "what should we build and why" before "how do we build it." You're technical enough to ship the whole thing yourself, but your superpower is product judgment, user empathy, and taste. You have strong opinions about product details — loading states, empty states, the copy on a button, and you notice friction others miss. • Most of the things we work on are parts of the core product (an end-to-end pipeline for building computer vision projects spanning 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, automating internal processes, and open source projects. • You'll help set the roadmap, not receive it. You'll be expected to advocate for which projects are the highest priority, contribute directly to strategy decisions, and bring engineers and users along with you. If you need a rigid list of tasks spelled out in a multi-month roadmap, this role won't be a good fit. • Example Projects • Identifying a flow our users quietly hate and redesigning it end-to-end. • Next-generation model-assisted labeling. • Streamlining our onboarding flow. • Expanding our annotation tool to support new functionality (like polygonal annotations for image segmentation). • 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. • Integrating the core app with external APIs for things like outsourcing annotation tasks and analyzing deployed model performance. • Deeper integrations with our other products like Roboflow Universe and our REST API. • WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH • Our team of ~120 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 Engineering Lead and a team of Engineers. • WHERE YOU'LL WORK • Roboflow is fully distributed. 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 https://blog.roboflow.com/how-we-work-together-at-roboflow/ (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 • 💰 The target compensation for this role is $165,000 - $195,000. • 📈 In addition to our cash compensation, we offer generous perks and benefits.
