Every physical good around you sat in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Almost 100% of warehouses track inventory manually, using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts.
We're Corvus Robotics. We realized: if we could use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, we could improve worker safety, labor efficiency... and use the data to optimize the global physical economy, improving economic prosperity for humanity.
We developed Corvus One™, the world's first fully autonomous warehouse inventory drone. No human pilot, no location stickers, no localization beacons. It uses onboard cameras in real-time, just like Tesla cars, to operate fully autonomously. Dozens of Global 2000-sized companies use our drones, every day and night, across the US.
We're hiring our first Backend Web Dev Engineer (fullstack), a foundational role on the core team (<25 people). The product is de-risked and we have product-market fit; we want our customers to get even more value from the data we collect for them, by improving our customer-facing software. What does the ideal AI-first tracking of the world’s physical economy look like in the future? How can we optimize the economy to increase GDP and human prosperity? Come help answer these extremely hard questions with massive implications for the world if we're right; build beautiful software you're proud of; work alongside excellent people with high standards; and grow rapidly with us.
This role is primarily in-office at Mountain View, CA, with some flexibility for hybrid. Compensation range shown depends on level of experience and responsibilities, and includes material equity.
Must haves:

-
Have experience with, or at least curiosity in, WMS / supply chain software, and a broad mind. Like, what does the ideal AI-first inventory tracking of the world’s physical economy look like in the future?
- You fully own feature development - from building domain knowledge, to reqs/design, through implementation & maintenance.
-
Take pride in delivering a polished, intuitive, and reliable UX with outstanding design (e.g. our designer uses Figma & Lucid)
- Excellent judgment on tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scalability while delivering products responsibly. Value iterative development and unit/integration testing.
- Thrives on stepping outside comfort zone, exploring new technologies, proactively seeking out candid feedback for self-improvement
- Ability to work with founders/team on coordinating software product strategy with GTM strategy
- Contribute to maintaining and evolving a workplace culture of mutual respect, high standards, no ego, and engaging others with curiosity, openness, & empathy
Not required, but nice to have:
- Experience writing modern supply chain software, e.g. Manhattan WMS, SAP etc.
- Modern C++, WebAssembly, PyBind, Python
- Data visualization, 3D graphics, linear algebra, statistics (we use Three.js)
- Other web communication standards/libraries like gRPC, GraphQL, WebSockets, or WebRTC
