Implementation Engineer

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.

Roboflow is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

Roboflowers are passionate builders who value ownership, accountability, and a bias toward action. We're curious, hands-on with new tech, and prefer showing our work over talking about it. Many of us have a founder mindset and thrive in our high-autonomy environment.

What You’ll Do:

We’re hiring Implementation Engineers to partner closely with our sales and solutions architect team to drive new customer wins. You’ll have an immense impact on shaping the future of not only this role, but our company.

A large portion of the Roboflow sales process is technical, ensuring customers understand how to incorporate computer vision into their products. Building successful relationships with our customers -- many of whom are engineers -- as well as showcasing what the Roboflow product is capable of is a key component of the role, so you will leverage both your engineering background and user-facing mindset to be successful.

Because our customers use computer vision in so many different industries (accelerating cancer research, improving manufacturing processes, enabling automated checkout, and so much more), your workday will always include an engaging variety of challenges. You’ll be an integral part of making our customers successful, being responsible for the project management, deployment, and adoption of Roboflow’s computer vision solutions within their products.

This is a hands-on, technical role where you will work closely not only with our customers, but also with our engineering teams and product managers to ensure the successful deployment of our solutions. You will need to combine your expertise in computer vision, machine learning, and Python programming to design, implement, and optimize solutions that solve our customers’ biggest pain points. We want our customers to be life long partners with Roboflow and ensure they are receiving the ROI they envisioned when they first signed on.

If you think, “I’m an engineer that loves sharing my work with others,” you’d be in great company in this role.
