Cobot is hiring a Staff Software Engineer, Product to build customer-facing products that shape how humans manage and interact with robotic fleets. This is a hands-on role where you will write production code across Vista and Scoutmap while helping shape technical direction, patterns, and quality standards.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, and maintain customer-facing product features across Vista and Scoutmap, with a strong emphasis on usability, clarity, and correctness.
- Build hands-on across the stack, with a primary focus on frontend and product-facing systems, while collaborating closely with backend and data teams.
- Own complex product surfaces end-to-end—from concept and prototyping through production rollout and iteration.
- Shape technical direction through execution: establish patterns, abstractions, and best practices by building and shipping real systems.
- Collaborate deeply with product management and design (UX/UI) to translate customer needs and workflows into intuitive, scalable interfaces.
- Work closely with robotics, data infrastructure, and platform engineers to integrate real-time telemetry, maps, and operational insights into the product experience.
- Support Scoutmap as needed, ensuring shared capabilities and intelligence flow naturally into Vista over time.
- Participate in technical planning and reviews, offering thoughtful input while remaining accountable for delivery.
- Help raise the bar for product engineering quality, performance, and reliability across the team.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of professional experience as a software engineer working on product-facing systems.
- Strong proficiency in modern frontend development (e.g., React, TypeScript) and experience building complex, data-driven UIs.
- Demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code.
- Experience collaborating closely with product managers and designers in fast-moving environments.
- Strong product intuition—able to reason about user workflows, tradeoffs, and edge cases.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and iterating toward the right solution.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- Must have and maintain US work authorization.
Nice to Have
- Experience building software for robotics, autonomous systems, fleet management, or operational tooling.
- Familiarity with real-time systems, telemetry, maps, or spatial data.
- Experience working on platforms that support multi-tenant or multi-customer use cases.
- Background in workflow orchestration, operational dashboards, or control-plane style products.
- Experience operating at a Senior or Staff level—owning large problem spaces and influencing direction through hands-on work.
- Interest in shaping intelligent, semi-autonomous systems that assist users in decision-making.
