What You'll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer at Roboflow Labs, you'll build the platform that turns a frontier lab's data request into a shipped, quality-checked delivery.
- Design, build, and own the Labs data platform end to end: client-facing catalog and delivery portal, contributor-facing collection and payout tooling, and the shared data foundation underneath.
- Build delivery pipelines that ingest, validate, package, and ship datasets with the provenance, rights tracking, and audit trail that frontier lab procurement teams require
- Automate quality: consensus, review routing, fraud and duplicate detection, and the metrics that make dataset quality visible before it reaches a customer
- Partner with Strategic Projects Leads and operators to turn each new delivery into reusable infrastructure rather than a one-off
- Integrate with Roboflow's core platform and open-source tooling so that Labs benefits from, and contributes back to, the product millions of developers already use
- Set the engineering bar for a new team: architecture, code review, observability, and the on-call and release practices that let a small group ship reliably.
Who You Are
You are a senior full stack engineer who likes building zero-to-one. You have high agency and a bias toward action.
- 6+ years building production software, with real depth in backend systems, data pipelines, or full-stack engineering.
- Experience designing systems that process large volumes of data reliably.
- Strong product judgment.
- Nice to have: experience with annotation or human-data platforms, marketplaces with payouts, ML training data pipelines, or computer vision tooling
Where You'll Work
- Roboflow is a fully distributed company with hubs in San Francisco, New York City, Singapore, and Brazil.
- Roboflow Labs works in person in San Francisco.
- We host full company retreats twice per year.
