About the Company: Backed by Uber and NVIDIA, Serve Robotics develops advanced, AI-powered, low-emissions sidewalk delivery robots that endeavor to make delivery sustainable and economical.
Spun off from Uber in 2021 as an independent company, Serve has completed tens of thousands of deliveries for enterprise partners such as Uber Eats and 7-Eleven.
The company has scalable multi-year contracts, including a signed agreement to deploy up to 2,000 delivery robots on the Uber Eats platform across multiple U.S. markets.Over 40% of restaurant deliveries in the US are within 30 minutes walking distance, yet 90% of the time, we are moving two-pound burritos with two-ton cars!We are reimagining how things move in cities.
Our personable sidewalk delivery robot, Serve, is a small, low-speed self-driving vehicle that's designed to take deliveries away from congested streets to save energy and reduce emissions, while making deliveries faster and cheaper.Having completed thousands of commercial deliveries for Postmates (now Uber) in Los Angeles and San Francisco, we recently spun out with backing from top tier investors to grow faster and target the entire sidewalk delivery market.
Our commercial agreement with Uber provides us unlimited access to delivery jobs— and thus revenue.As a growing robotics delivery company, we are in need of a web front end guru to drive rapid development of our fleet applications.
Projects range from prototyping with UX specialists to unlock improved efficiency of remote pilots to rolling out improved UI frameworks and tools.
While some projects can be built out as an individual contributor, others will include coordinating our full stack engineers to get the job done.
We are still a small team with the opportunity to wear multiple hats which means lots of opportunity to influence every aspect of the applications we are developing.Responsibilities:Working closely with the Fleet Operations team, understanding their needs and use cases for tasking rovers for deliveries in urban environments, and empowering them with the right tools, business metrics and data.Partnering with User Experience Interaction engineers to design, prototype, and implement intuitive interfaces for human-robot interaction.Innovating and championing sustainable patterns for component UI developmentDrive our own software design decisions based on your learnings.What you bring:In-depth knowledge of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript and modern JavaScript libraries and tooling (Vue.js)Heavy SPA programming experience and an interest in both performance and tooling.Experience with UI CI/CD mechanisms and tooling related to deployment and caching (e.g service workers, CDN, etc)A track record of mentoring junior and senior engineersExperience shipping production code with full instrumentation: deployment, logging, and monitoring and documentation.Track record of designing and building a simple system that works and having it gradually evolve into a complex system that still works.An ability to convert vague problems into tangible production code.
Good verbal and writing communication skills.Perks:Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to innovative projects.Flex PTO for any reason, including sick days (no specified limits), flexible work schedule.Personal laptop.Health and wellness package.Remote work.
