Job description
Who We Are
Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.
We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more.
Our team is small relative to our impact, and we believe our user success is our success (not the inverse). A team member summarized: “Roboflow is a company full of giant brains and tiny egos.” We find software has a multiplier effect on all roles (not only product and engineering), so Roboflow employs developers across the company in design, sales, customer support, marketing, and beyond.
We’re supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Google Ventures, Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.
What You’ll Do
As a Machine Learning Research Engineer, you will develop novel machine learning methods and contribute to the research agenda of the team. Because of Roboflow’s huge userbase, we have a unique visibility into how people are using computer vision in the real world, including in what circumstances existing methods are unable to solve user problems.
Our Research Team’s mission is to introduce novel methods that generalize as well as possible across our user base. This includes methods that learn well on diverse data, run efficiently on different hardware targets, and solve unique categories of problems. You will help identify areas for innovation, create novel approaches, and write papers aimed at top conferences. Additionally, you will help translate research methods into production systems running at scale.
