Viam's products are built by engineers, for engineers. We want to build a platform we would want to use ourselves.
As a senior full-stack engineer on our Fleet Management team, you will be responsible for building cloud-based functionality to enable remote configuration, control, management, and operation of a fleet of robots. Configuring one robot manually in a lab is one thing, but managing a fleet of 1000s of robots in the wild is what this product is for. The team is also responsible for building the foundation of the cloud management web site that will allow us to add richer features in the future.
In this role, you will be responsible for writing and reviewing code, working closely with and mentoring other engineers, providing feedback on and proposing technical designs, and supporting the team in identifying and triaging priority tasks. Fleet Management is currently split into 2 teams and examples of this team's immediate focus areas include:
- Implementing communication protocols for different parts of the system architecture
- Displaying smart machine configuration, connectivity, and availability status on the Viam website
- Maintaining login and user management flows (written in Svelte and Vue) on the Viam website as well as the authentication backend
- Managing concurrent background job execution
All current members of Fleet Management are based in New York, NY and are in office full-time. We are looking for team members who come into the office at least 3 days per week. We are not looking for full remote employees at this time.

Your exact offer will vary based on a number of factors including experience level, skillset, market location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company.
