Apply to Roboflow and hundreds of other fast-growing YC startups with a single profile.
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 $60 million (check out our Series B announcement here!) from Google Ventures (GV), Craft Ventures, Y Combinator, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.
We're looking for people that can own a large set of problems and are motivated by the question: "How can I improve this?" Many members of our team are former founders and they love working at Roboflow because they get to work autonomously and build solutions from the ground up (but you don't have to be a former founder to thrive at Roboflow!). Roboflow is still in its early stage and each department runs a startup within itself that defines a problem, works with our customers, builds ideal solutions, and adapts quickly to changes.
Expand our thriving open-source ecosystem and create a future where computer vision is accessible to every developer. You'll be building upon a foundation of 40k+ GitHub stars across our projects, with over 1 million monthly PIP downloads, 500k+ datasets, and 100k+ pre-trained models.
As an early hire both from a company and open source organization perspective, you'll have a significant impact on the product and the direction of Open Source at Roboflow. Your focus will be on adding value to the AI/ML/CV open source ecosystem, working with existing Roboflow projects (Supervision, Inference, Notebooks, Maestro, Autodistill), and creating new projects that do not yet exist. You'll help shape project roadmaps based on your own experiences, write code, create documentation, promote projects, develop content, talk to contributors, work with users, and keep a pulse on what's missing in our ecosystem.
Example Projects
You believe in the power of open source as a strategy to build a category-defining company. You have built and led open-source projects of your own, contribute to projects on a regular basis, and have a passion for making computer vision more accessible with open-source software. We anticipate the role being focused 50% on core contribution, 30% on communication/promotion, and 20% on other areas.
You will be working directly with our Open Source Lead, along with our Marketing Lead, Marketing Engineers, and Core Product Engineers.
We are currently a team of 60 team members located all over the US and Europe. Our team's backgrounds range from high school whiz kids, former founders of technology companies and fashion lines, world-class engineers, CMOs to CEOs, and have experience scaling businesses to millions in revenue. We want to work with exceptional people with a diverse background. At this early stage, you'll have the ability to work cross-functionally with many members of the team and solve a wide array of problems.
Roboflow is distributed across the US and Europe. We currently have Hubs in New York City and San Francisco with a penchant to open more as we grow. We provide opportunities (like team on-sites in different cities) and resources (like a 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, work from home, work at co-working spaces, etc. We want you to work where you work best!
Given that we are a remote company and can hire almost anywhere in the world, we don't have a particular time-zone preference for this role. However, you may need to be available for non-recurring urgent meetings outside of working hours. We have a flexible schedule that allows you to work collaboratively with other team members and asynchronously when needed.
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 $175,000 to $190,000 base salary
📈 In addition to our cash compensation, we offer generous perks and benefits. Below are some of the highlights:
