Responsibilities
- Build trust, transfer knowledge, and establish the foundation for long-term success. - Production Engineering: Write production-grade code that will live in the customer’s environment.
Requirements
- We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence.
- Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s computer vision AI open source and hosted tools.
- The best FDEs we've hired have built things in factories, warehouses, construction sites, or labs before ever touching a vision model. - Strong proficiency in Python;
- experience with systems-level work (Docker, Kubernetes, networking, Linux) is highly valued. - Hands-on
- Experience with edge computing hardware and constraints (NVIDIA Jetson, industrial cameras, limited connectivity, on-premise security requirements). - Excellent troubleshooting and debugging skills; you’re the person who figures out why it works in staging but not in production. - Strong interpersonal skills - you'll be embedded with customer teams and need to build trust quickly while navigating their internal dynamics.
- Experience in one or more of Roboflow’s target verticals: manufacturing, logistics, food processing, automotive, or retail. - Willingness to travel ~40–50% for on-site customer deployments.
- Experience in a professional services, deployment engineering, or forward deployed engineering role. - Familiarity with CV/MLOps tooling and practices (model versioning, monitoring, retraining pipelines). - Deep industrial subject matter expertise.
- The kind of person who can walk onto a production line and immediately start asking the right questions about throughput, defect rates, and inspection points. - Background in IoT, embedded systems, or infrastructure engineering alongside hands-on deployment experience. - You're a tinkerer outside of work.
- You own a 3D printer, you've got Raspberry Pis running something in your house, you're constantly tweaking your home network or smart home setup.
- Before the Interview: - We’ll review your application, LinkedIn, Github, etc. - The best way to stand out is to write about something you’ve built with Roboflow or contribute to one of our open source projects. - We may send you a technical screen if applicable.
