Full Stack Engineer - Matic : Job Details

Matic is revolutionizing home robotics by building the world's first truly autonomous robots. We're on a mission to recapture the 2.5 trillion hours annually spent on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value, with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable robots that families love. Our first product, Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot that families love and cannot fathom their lives without. We've built what amounts to self-driving for homes - precise 3D mapping, real-time SLAM, and semantic understanding that works reliably in real homes, all achieved through breakthrough spatial AI technology using only RGB cameras and neural networks with all processing on-device for complete privacy. Privacy first Our robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores. Our approach In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores. Just like consumers adopted cell phones, then PDAs, then iPods before adopting the iPhone to replace them all, we believe consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant robots first before getting one-robot-to-rule-all-chores. Our goal is to continue automating household labor, shipping useful, affordable, privacy-first robots while building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time. Who we are We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI & robots enable us to solve them. Who we are NOT We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love! How we behave Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy. At Matic, we're eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems - even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers. Those who value curiosity and learning and who don't shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we'd love to hear from you. About the roleAbout the Role We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who's excited to craft delightful end-to-end experiences for our web platform. As one of the earliest members of our team, you'll work closely with product, design, and marketing to create an incredible user journey-spanning our responsive e-commerce site to the cloud services that power it. If you enjoy switching contexts from front-end UI/UX to backend APIs and want to shape a world-class product used by thousands of customers, we'd love to hear from you! What You'll Do

• Build a web platform that seamlessly connects various user interfaces, pre-order and checkout flows, and backend services to shape critical customer journeys, everything from their first impression of Matic to becoming repeat customers and our biggest evangelists.
• Brainstorm with robotics engineers, hardware designers, product managers, and marketers, to ship production-ready experiences that push the boundaries of what people expect from consumer robots.
• Implement APIs and data pipelines that stream real-time fleet telemetry from thousands of robots to intuitive, interactive dashboards-enabling our team to close the gap with our customers for faster and better product decisions.
• Scale our infrastructure on AWS, integrate payment gateways, and ensure that near-instantaneous load/response times, high security, and reliability are top priorities in every release.
• As part of a small, talented team, you'll be a key contributor to code reviews, technical discussions, and setting the highest standard for clean, maintainable, and well-architected code.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of full-stack experience, with a track record of owning and shipping end-to-end web interfaces at a breakneck pace.
• A deep obsession with crafting delightful user experiences, driving design, marketing, and product intuition into bulletproof code.
• Systems-level understanding of ES6+, React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and deep comfort with the modern JavaScript tooling and ecosystem that goes well beyond front-end development
• Excellence in server-side architecture and development in Node.js / Python (knowing Rust is a plus), with proficiency in designing REST / GraphQL endpoints and interfacing with relational databases like PostgreSQL
• Hands-on experience deploying and managing third-party services (AWS, analytics, customer support) with a keen eye for security best practices.
• A hunger to learn new skills and collaborate across design, marketing, product, and other engineers across the entire stack.
• Pride in your programming and attention to detail
• Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don't shy away from the hard work
