foxglove - Full-Stack Engineer, Forward Deployed
Requirements
• 5+ years of professional experience with modern full-stack technologies (TypeScript/Node.js, React, Python) • 3+ years of professional experience in Robotics or Autonomous systems • Experience in customer-facing engineering roles, ideally with robotics or autonomy exposure. • Proven history of rapid prototyping and iterative delivery with external stakeholders. • Solid grasp of network and cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and database-backed REST APIs. • Comfortable building across the stack — from data pipelines and APIs to the interfaces engineers use every day • Comfortable owning problems end-to-end, learning what’s missing, and communicating technical details to any audience. • Willingness to travel extensively and work on-site with customers when required. • Experience with C++ or ROS in a robotics context • Experience designing SDKs, integration libraries, or internal tooling that reduced services cycle time • Experience with multiple database systems
Responsibilities
• Customer Collaboration – Embed deeply with customer teams to understand business goals, domain constraints, and technical requirements. • Design & Development – Architect and build end-to-end solutions with an experiment-driven, iterative approach (TypeScript/React, Node.js, Python, ROS, SQL). • Scoping & Planning – Draft clear scopes of work, timelines, and success metrics for proofs-of-concept through production roll-outs. • Hands-On Delivery – Code side-by-side with customer engineers, deploying on their cloud or on-prem environments to ensure successful adoption. • Cross-Functional Alignment – Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success on the same accounts to guarantee seamless experiences and measurable outcomes. • Product Feedback Loop – Relay frontline insights to Research, Product, and Engineering; your learnings shape our roadmap. • Internal Enablement – Document best practices, contribute to internal libraries, and mentor future FDEs so the function scales efficiently.
Benefits
• Work on real robotics problems. Robot data is large, messy, multimodal, time-sensitive, and tied to physical-world behavior. The problems we work on span ingestion, indexing, search, visualization, replay, connectivity, collaboration, evaluation, and operations. • Build tools engineers rely on. Foxglove is used by robotics teams investigating failures, validating changes, reviewing field behavior, curating datasets, and operating production fleets. The work you do helps teams understand what their robots saw, what they did, and why they behaved the way they did. • High-leverage product surface area. A better query path, visualization workflow, Fleet connection, UI primitive, API, onboarding flow, or customer deployment can change how an entire robotics team works. • Ownership and autonomy. We’re a small team, and people at Foxglove own meaningful work end-to-end. You’ll have real influence over product direction, technical architecture, customer outcomes, and how we operate as a company. • Strong peers and high standards. You’ll work with people who care about correctness, performance, craft, product judgment, and building software that technical users trust under pressure. • A mission grounded in production software. We accelerate robotics and physical AI by building the infrastructure teams use every day to connect to robots, inspect live telemetry, manage multimodal data, replay runs, investigate failures, and improve real systems. • Competitive equity grant in a Series B company. • Medical, dental, vision, and term life insurance coverage at 100% for employees and 75% for dependents, for U.S. full-time employees. • 401(k) matching up to 4%, for U.S. full-time employees. • 4 weeks of vacation, plus holidays and winter break. • All-expenses-paid company offsites 1–2× per year. • $300 monthly budget toward commuter benefits or building your personal workspace, depending on role/location. • LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW WE HIRE AND WORK FOXGLOVE.DEV/CAREERS https://foxglove.dev/careers • EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
