Robust AI is a fast-growing, early-stage startup founded in 2019 by an unsurpassed team of veterans in robotics, AI, and business. We are a collaborative group with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, seeking talented individuals who are just as excited about robotics and AI as we are! Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible, and genuinely autonomous. Robust is looking for a Lead front-end engineer to own the UIs that are necessary for our robots to perform their functions. This involves working in several different areas, each with their own challenges: * The authoring application, which is used by our roboticists to write robot behaviors. * The fleet management tools, used by integration engineers and customers to issue commands to, configure, and keep track of the fleet. * The on-robot UI, a touch interface mounted on the robot. Core Responsibilities: * Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain robust web applications using React/Next.js. * Lead frontend architectural decisions, ensuring solutions are well-engineered, maintainable, and aligned with long-term technical strategy. * Translate requirements and designs into high-quality, production-ready code. * Own the end-to-end delivery of frontend features, from technical design to deployment and monitoring. * Collaborate effectively with backend engineers, product management, and other stakeholders. * Actively participate in code reviews to maintain code quality and share knowledge. * Stay current with frontend best practices and tooling, evaluating and recommending new technologies where appropriate. Required Qualifications & Skills: * Minimum 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong emphasis on front-end development. * Deep proficiency and extensive hands-on experience with React and its core principles (hooks, context API, etc.). * Strong understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and modern web standards. * Experience with state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Zustand, Context API). * Familiarity with modern frontend build pipelines and tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite, Babel, npm/yarn). * Experience writing and maintaining frontend tests using frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, or similar. Nice-to-Have Skills: * Experience with TypeScript. * Experience with server-side rendering (SSR) or static site generation (SSG) frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Remix). * Experience with UI component libraries and design systems. * Experience with performance monitoring and optimization tools. * Experience with CI/CD pipelines. * Experience with implementing Authentication systems. What we offer: * Base pay depending on skills, qualifications, and experience. * Stock options and huge potential for growth. * Strong startup (and fun) culture. * Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage. * Flexible vacation and sick leave practices. * Paid parental leave. Robust AI fosters a culture of belonging and a shared commitment to equality and equity. Having a diverse set of perspectives is key to ensuring AI and robotics serve the needs of all.
