# Senior Software Engineer, AI Team at Standard Bots Senior Software Engineer, AI Team at Standard Bots in New York City. Hybrid, full-time, paying $180k–$210k. Posted September 18, 2026. - Company: Standard Bots - Location: New York City - Workplace: Hybrid - Job type: Full-time - Pay: $180k–$210k - Experience: 5+ years - Posted: 2026-09-18 - Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/standardbots/9425d9a4-5ebb-46ef-835b-a46fea2e32ed/application - Source: https://jobmagic.ai/jobs/senior-software-engineer-ai-team-standard-bots-t1evwv ## Description **About Standard Bots** Standard Bot's mission is to significantly lower the barrier to entry to real-world automation, bringing the power of bits to the world of atoms and unlocking productivity for entire new industries and users. Our user-facing applications and APIs directly empower individuals and developers to jump directly into solving their challenges without the need for a background in robotics or automation. A relentless focus on simplicity and ease of use brings this revolutionary potential to new users and industries. **What You'll Do** We're looking for a seasoned, broad software engineer to join our AI team and build the systems our models depend on. Our AI researchers push the modeling frontier; this role owns nearly everything around it — the data that goes in, the infrastructure that trains and evaluates, the perception plumbing that connects cameras to the robot, and the product surfaces that put all of it in a customer's hands. The AI team is small, so the surface area is wide and the ownership is real. You may move between adding functionality to the data ingestion pipeline, a camera calibration bug, and a customer-facing feature in the same month — and you'll decide which of those matters most this week. **Location and Benefits **This role is hybrid with 3 days/week onsite in our NYC office, centrally located near Grand Central Station. The office is fully equipped with robots for demos and testing! **Responsibilities** - Identify, scope, and drive high impact technical and user facing projects across the AI team's stack - Ship the product surfaces that expose AI capabilities to users — the applications and APIs customers actually touch - Mentor and advise other engineers as well as peers on technical and personal advancement - Drive technical decision making and implementation through hands-on and technically deep work Plus ownership of one or more of these, depending on where your experience is strongest: - **Data pipelines:** the flywheel for end-to-end AI — ingestion of teleop and demonstration data, labeling and curation tooling, dataset quality metrics - **Training and evaluation infrastructure:** training pipelines, experiment tracking, GPU orchestration, model versioning, and deployment out to robots - **Perception integration:** camera calibration, vision pipelines, and getting model outputs into the robot runtime reliably **Tech Stack** - **Front-end:** React, TypeScript - **Back-end:** Node.js, Python, C++ - **ML:** PyTorch - Kubernetes - Docker - GitHub Actions **Who You AreWe do not require a background in robotics.** We're looking for engineers who are self driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful. We have no requirements for a background in robotics, but find most success with engineers excited by the domain and looking to apply their expertise and experience in a new area. Our ideal candidate will be open to doing approximately 70% back-end and 30% front-end work with flexibility to sway more towards one or the other, depending on current projects and team needs. This is a generalist role first — but on the AI team, so we're looking for someone whose breadth already reaches into at least one AI-adjacent domain. **Skills You'll Bring** - **Experience:** You have a strong technical background, including 5-10 years of experience working in complex environments - **AI-adjacent depth (strongly preferred):** You have professional experience in at least one of ML Ops, data pipelines, or computer vision — for example building training or inference infrastructure, running large-scale data ingestion and curation, or shipping a vision pipeline to production. You don't need to have trained the models yourself. - **Growth + Optimism:** You are excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context to accelerate your impact - **Clarity of Communication:** You excel in written and verbal communication and enjoy leveraging your skills to support your peers - **Impact Driven:** You relentlessly seek user impact and value execution over technical idealism - **Proactive Simplicity:** You prioritize simplicity, reliability, and velocity and proactively identify opportunities to improve proposed implementations or incumbent systems - **Excelling in Ambitious Environments:** You excel in dynamic and ambitious environments, working with a diverse group of individuals and backgrounds **Compensation and Benefits** The base salary range for this role is $180,000 to $210,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
