Former Founder

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 We're Looking For Primarily, you like to make great things with passionate colleagues.

You are someone that likes to own outcomes, not only inputs.

You’re motivated by having responsibility and accountability.

You’re eager to ‘do the work,’ big and small.

You’re curious and learning about new technologies, perhaps an early tinkerer with ChatGPT and AI products.

You show more than you tell.
