We are a team of experienced independent thinkers who are passionate about creating impactful solutions that facilitate real-world robotics applications. Our environment fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, making us a dynamic place for talented professionals to grow and contribute to cutting-edge technology.

About The Role We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Frontend Rust Engineer who excels at developing high-performance, interactive applications that challenge the limits of browser capabilities. In this role, you will be instrumental in building a robotics observability and visualization platform capable of handling massive real-time and recorded datasets with speed and precision. Your primary focus will be on creating frontend experiences powered by Rust and WebAssembly that enable low-latency rendering, seamless interactivity, and efficient data processing for complex robotics workloads. You will tackle challenges such as visualizing multi-modal sensor streams, optimizing GPU-backed workflows, and designing user interfaces that remain responsive under heavy computational loads. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work on innovative solutions that directly impact the future of robotics technology.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional frontend or full-stack engineering experience with complex applications
• 2+ years of professional Rust experience, preferably in WebAssembly or performance-critical frontend environments
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks such as React
• Deep understanding of frontend performance optimization, browser internals, and debugging tools
• Experience managing large datasets in the frontend, including buffering, streaming, and visualization techniques
• Familiarity with WebGL, GPU-backed rendering, and multithreading in the browser (e.g., web workers)

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop frontend applications utilizing Rust, WebAssembly, and TypeScript to handle large or real-time robotics datasets
• Design and optimize visualization workflows to ensure responsiveness and user-friendliness under high data and computational demands
• Integrate frontend components with backend streaming services for real-time data rendering and interaction
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to deliver polished, developer-friendly interfaces for complex robotics workflows
• Optimize performance across the entire stack, including rendering pipelines, GPU utilization, and network data handling within the browser

Benefits

• $300 monthly budget for commuter benefits or personal workspace setup (remote only)
• Competitive equity grant in a Series B funded company
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and term life insurance coverage at 100% for employees and 75% for dependents
