Role Overview

Bucket Robotics is hiring a Founding Fullstack Engineer to architect and build our core platform from the ground up. You'll own the entire product stack that transforms CAD models into production-ready AI systems deployed on factory floors.

This role is perfect for an engineer who loves building reliable, scalable systems from scratch—and wants to see their code running on real production lines.

Responsibilities

• Design and build services for managing model training, deployment, and telemetry
• Architect systems that go from CAD → synthetic data → deployed defect detector
• Optimize model serving for low-latency inference on Jetson-class devices
• Build data pipelines and observability tools that give insight into deployed AI systems
• Work closely with the CEO and core team to shape product and technical strategy

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in backend, infrastructure, or systems roles
• Enjoys wearing many hats
• Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript, and React
• Experience designing scalable APIs, task queues, and service-based systems
• Familiarity with containers, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and CI/CD
• Solid understanding of performance profiling, observability, and debugging in production environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying ML models to edge devices or with ONNX/TensorRT
• Experience working with 3D data formats (e.g. STEP, STL, glTF) or synthetic data generation
• Experience working with 3D modeling tools like Blender or Three.js
• Background in IoT, robotics, or computer vision infrastructure
• Previous startup or founding engineer experience

What We Offer

• Competitive salary & meaningful equity – shape the company and share in its success
• Comprehensive benefits – health, dental, and vision insurance
• Professional development budget – attend conferences, take courses, grow your skills
• A chance to build something real – work with a great team of roboticists, helping expand tooling for manufacturing.
