## Job description

## About Corvus

Every physical good spends time in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Today, nearly 100% of warehouses track their inventory manually using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts. We're [Corvus Robotics](https://www.corvus-robotics.com/). Our fully autonomous [Corvus One™](https://blog.corvus-robotics.com/corvus-one-launch-and-series-a-funding) drones use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, improving worker safety and increasing labor efficiency. We believe that data-driven, safe inventory management will optimize the global physical economy and improve economic prosperity for humanity.

## About the Role

With a growing fleet of autonomous drones and an expanding customer base, we're now ready to multiply ML iteration speed and unblock more advanced ML product delivery. We're hiring a systems-oriented Senior Software Engineer to build the data infrastructure, training pipelines, and internal tooling that our ML team needs to move faster.

Specifically in this role you will:

- Build and maintain the data pipeline infrastructure that consolidates internal infra, labeling tools, S3, and other data sources into a unified, queryable system
- Build tooling for dataset selection and curation that can programmatically target specific data (by environment, object type, etc.)
- Own ML data infra from robot to training run, accessible to the ML team without backend engineering help
- Build model evaluation and regression testing infrastructure -- real metrics, not vibes or "someone complained in prod"
- Automate the model retuning loop for standard tasks so ML engineers can be mostly hands-off on routine updates

This is a hybrid or remote role with periodic trips to HQ in Mountain View, CA.

Must Haves

- 2-3 years shipping real production ML infrastructure for big datasets, not just scripts
- Experience building distributed data pipelines that consolidate multiple sources
- Demonstrated understanding of data flow from raw collection, labeled training set, to trained models
- Experience building systems from scratch, or contributed heavily to a small-team infra build where the playbook didn't exist
- Ability to thrive in a startup environment with high ambiguity. You'll figure out what to build

Nice to Haves

- Experience setting up annotation tooling and workflows
- Background in robotics autonomy and computer vision

Experience integrating with tools like Kubeflow, SLURM, or similar for scalable training workflows

## About Corvus Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Corvus Robotics provides an autonomous inventory intelligence platform for Fortune 500 and Global 2000 warehouses, using drones and AI copilots to automate cycle counting and material handling operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series unknown; backed by Y Combinator, S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, and Tesla’s cofounder)
- **Headquarters**: Mountain View, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Jackie Wu (CEO & Founder) and Kabir Mohammed (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Industrial robotics / Warehouse automation / Supply chain intelligence
- **Target customers**: B2B — large enterprise (Fortune 500, Global 2000) operators of distribution centers, cold chain/freezer warehouses, and complex material handling facilities
- **Mission/purpose**: “Autonomous inventory intelligence for the physical economy” — the company exists to impact the physical economy of plants, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, driving global economic growth by improving the supply chain.

## Products & Services
- **Corvus One®**: A fully autonomous warehouse inventory drone that flies without a pilot, stickers, or beacons, using onboard cameras for real-time scanning. Designed for cycle counting in ambient, cold chain, and freezer environments. Deployed in under one week on-site.
- **Corvus Trident™**: An AI Copilot installed on forklifts and other material handling equipment that tracks all pallet moves in real time, giving operators and managers instant visibility into inventory location changes.
- **Unified Operations Platform**: A single dashboard that aggregates data from Corvus One, Trident, and any existing WMS via API, providing one source of inventory truth and discrepancy alerts. Runs on-premise for enterprise data security.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Funding**: Not publicly disclosed. Institutional backers include Y Combinator, S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, and Tesla co-founder (implied via the company page). Also backed by executives from Amazon’s Kiva Systems.
- **Key Metric**: 300+ devices deployed across North America; 30 enterprise customers served; 26 U.S. states and territories with active deployments.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: S2G Ventures, Catalyst Investors, Spero Ventures, Y Combinator. Investors include leaders from Amazon Kiva Systems and Tesla.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 9 distribution centers deployed with measurable results (some customers report 6x labor hours saved, recovery of $1.25M in lost inventory, reallocation of 35,000+ hours, and elimination of manual cycle counting across nine sites)
  - Launch of Corvus Trident AI Copilot (recent product expansion)
  - Appointment of Michael McSpedon as CRO (former 3x CRO who took companies to $100M+ revenue)
  - Strong headcount growth: actively hiring for multiple engineering, deployment, and assembly roles

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full autonomy**: Corvus One operates with no pilot, no stickers, no beacons — truly “lights out” warehouse autonomous flights.
- **Cold chain specialization**: Drones are purpose-built for freezer/cold storage environments where many competitors cannot operate.
- **On-prem data security**: Enterprise data stays on-premise, addressing compliance and security concerns of large logistics operators.
- **Dual product ecosystem**: Combining aerial drones (Corvus One) with forklift-mounted AI (Trident) covers both storage and movement visibility, creating a unified layer above the WMS.
- **Fast deployment**: “1 week on-site deployment” for most sites, supported by dedicated CS & implementation engineers.

## Strategic Focus
- **Physical AI expansion**: Extending from inventory counting to full material handling automation across all warehouse form factors.
- **Enterprise scaling**: Growing footprint within existing Global 2000 customer accounts and onboarding new Fortune 500 sites.
- **Product-line expansion**: Recent launch of Trident indicates a move into real-time pallet tracking and forklift-adjacent AI.
- **Geographic coverage**: Scaling deployments across North America (already in 26 states/territories) with a “built, deployed, and supported in the US” value proposition.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission-driven team focused on solving “some of the hardest problems” in robotics and AI with a pragmatic, direct communication style. Core values include “Whatever it takes,” “Be a good person,” and “Do work you’re proud of.”
- **Work policy**: Hybrid/onsite presence in Mountain View, CA (Bay Area). Some roles (like Assembly Technician and Hardware roles) require on-site work; software roles may have flexible hybrid schedules as noted by team testimonials.
- **Notable perks/culture highlights**:
  - High-density engineering talent — founders and CTO come from MIT and Northwestern robotics programs
  - Real-world impact: Employees work directly with customers to see robots in action in warehouses
  - “Cutting-edge innovation” in computer vision, robotics, and AI
  - Strong team culture described by current engineers as welcoming, collaborative, and focused on impactful work
  - Open to extraordinary talent: Career page explicitly invites candidates who don’t fit a job description to email career@corvus-robotics.com
- **Current open roles** (as of late 2024/2025): Robotics Software Engineer, Robotics Deployment Manager, Production Lead, Assembly Technician, Head of Marketing, and other specialized roles — signaling strong operational scaling.
