Roboflow is building the visual cortex for AGI.

 

Every day, millions of developers and half of the Fortune 100 use Roboflow to count cells to accelerate cancer research, improve construction site safety, digitize floor plans, preserve coral reef populations, guide drone flight, and much more.

  • Interface with researchers and engineers at leading AI labs to shape data products.

  • Outstanding organization, judgement, and communication skills.

  • Nice to have: exposure to data labeling, annotation operations, evaluations, or ML training data pipelines.

 
Where You'll Work

Roboflow is a fully distributed company with hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Singapore, and Brazil. Roboflow Labs works in person in San Francisco. We host full company retreats twice per year.

 
What You'll Receive

The target compensation for this role is $150,000 – $300,000 base salary commensurate with experience as well as equity in the company. Total cash comp is expected to scale significantly with growth of Roboflow Labs.

In addition, we offer generous perks and benefits. Below are some of the highlights:

  • Generous stipends covering travel, productivity, tools, meals, and office.

  • Up to 100% of your health insurance costs covered.
