## Job description

Company Overview

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to explore uncharted waters and contribute to our innovative projects.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Engineer with a specialization in Frontend and Androiddevelopment. In this role, you will build critical interfaces that end customers use to understand the performance of the robotics system in their application, operators use to deploy and manage fleets of robots, and operators and engineers use for debugging.

You will bridge the gap between complex robotic intelligence and the user experience for our commercial partners. You will be responsible for designing and implementing high-performance applications that render real-time 3D environments, telemetry, and maps. Because our robots operate in diverse and challenging customer environments, you will architect solutions that are resilient to poor network conditions or complete disconnection. We are looking for an engineer with a background in graphics or gaming who understands the intricacies of rendering and state management at scale.

## Responsibilities

- Architect and Build Scalable Interfaces: Design and develop responsive, high-performance web and Android applications that serve as the primary interface for monitoring and controlling robotic fleets.
- 3D & Map Rendering: Implement complex visualization tools in the browser and on mobile devices, rendering large-scale maps, point clouds, and 3D environments to visualize robot perception in real-time.
- Resilient Networking: Engineer robust data synchronization layers that handle network-denied environments or intermittent connectivity, ensuring seamless operation and data integrity when robots go offline.
- Full Stack Development: Work across the stack, with a heavy emphasis on TypeScript/JavaScript for frontend logic and integration with backend services and robotic APIs.
- Performance Optimization: Profile and optimize rendering pipelines and application logic to ensure smooth performance on varied hardware, from high-end workstations to mobile field devices.
- Collaboration: Work closely with robotics researchers, ML engineers, and infrastructure teams to define APIs and data formats that support rich, real-time visualization.

## Basic Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience with React and modern frontend development
- Understanding of backend development principles
- Knowledge of database design and management
- Experience with containerization (Docker)
- Familiarity with CI/CD principles
- Basic understanding of cloud services

## Preferred Qualifications

- Strong Industry Experience: A proven track record of building and shipping complex, user-facing products at scale.
- Expert TypeScript/JavaScript Skills: Deep proficiency in modern JS ecosystems (React, Vue, or similar) and state management.
- Android Development: Solid experience building native or high-performance cross-platform Android applications.
- Graphics or Gaming Background: Experience with WebGL, Pixi, Three.js, OpenGL, or game engines (Unity/Unreal). You understand how to render 3D geometry and handle high-frame-rate visualizations in a browser or mobile context.
- Indoor Mapping & Spatial Data: Experience rendering complex indoor environments and floor plans. Familiarity with spatial data structures and libraries suitable for indoor navigation and visualization, rather than traditional outdoor geospatial mapping.
- Offline-First Architecture: Demonstrated ability to build systems that function reliably in network-constrained environments (CRDTs, local-first databases, optimistic UI updates).
- Systems Thinking: Ability to understand the full flow of data from a robot sensor to a user's screen.

## About Skild AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Skild AI builds a general-purpose robotic intelligence (the "Skild Brain") that enables any robot to autonomously perceive, act, and interact across diverse physical environments.
- **Entity Type**: Private (venture-backed; latest round Series C closed January 2026)
- **Headquarters**: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States (also offices in San Mateo, San Francisco, and Bengaluru)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly available in the reviewed sources

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Physical Automation
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprise – manufacturing, construction, security/inspection, logistics, and other sectors requiring physical task automation
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Bringing AI into the physical world" by building an omni-bodied brain that can control any robot for any task, learned from scalable, data-driven machine learning

## Products & Services
- **Skild Brain**: The core AI foundation model that works across different robot types and tasks, enabling low‑level skills (grasping, handover, navigation) abstracted via API calls.
- **Mobile Manipulation Platform**: Robots powered by Skild Brain that can navigate, grasp, and manipulate objects in unstructured environments.
- **Security/Inspection Robot Platform**: Robots equipped with Skild Brain for autonomous inspection in hazardous areas, reducing the need for human manual patrols.
- **Autonomous Packing System**: High‑precision dexterous manipulation for repetitive packing tasks.
- **Simulation & Data Tools**: Physics simulation environments and annotation pipelines used to train and validate the model.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – **$2.215B** (CB Insights) / **$2.21B** (PitchBook), including a **$1.4B Series C** in January 2026
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lightspeed, Felicis, Coatue, Bezos Expeditions, Sequoia Capital, and 39+ others (per CB Insights)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Acquired Zebra Technologies’ robotics automation business (April 2026)
  - Rapid headcount growth: ~50 employees (PitchBook) with **51 open roles** listed on Greenhouse as of mid‑2026
  - Expanded footprint to multiple US cities and Bengaluru, India

## Competitive Advantages
- **Omni‑bodied AI**: A single foundation model works across diverse robot hardware and tasks, avoiding the need for task‑specific training.
- **Scalable data pipeline**: Learns from human videos and real‑world interactions, creating a long‑term data advantage.
- **End‑to‑end integration**: From simulation and data annotation to real‑world deployment, the company controls the full stack.
- **Backing by top‑tier VCs and Bezos Expeditions**, providing capital and strategic access for rapid scaling.

## Strategic Focus
- **Real‑world deployment**: Prioritizing tangible robot applications (packing, inspection, manipulation) to deliver immediate customer value.
- **Data moat**: Continuing to scale data acquisition through human‑video learning and proprietary simulation.
- **Cross‑industry expansion**: Moving from early‑stage deployments into construction, manufacturing, logistics, and security verticals.

## Why Work Here
- **Innovation‑driven culture**: Described as a team where “curiosity meets impact,” tackling the frontier of physical AI.
- **Diverse openings**: 50+ roles across engineering (CV/ML, manipulation, embedded, simulation, infrastructure), research, product, operations, and marketing.
- **Global presence**: Offices in Pittsburgh, San Mateo, San Francisco (US) and Bengaluru (India); some roles allow remote work, though many are location‑specific.
- **Engineering‑forward**: Emphasis on data‑driven machine learning, robotics, and large‑scale systems, with opportunities to work on the core AI model and deployment.
- **Perks**: Not detailed, but typical for venture‑backed robotics startups include competitive equity, modern hardware, and a mission‑oriented environment.
