Software Engineer | Full Stack

What We Do

Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.

Role at a Glance

The New York software team focuses on building the infrastructure, data pipelines, and applications that turn the raw sensor data coming off the robots into a verified and human-interpretable data asset for our customers. Our goal is to drive down the time and labor required to deliver that data in order to allow Gecko to scale as a business.

You will develop new features and components of the system in a full stack capacity. In doing so, you will gain a deep understanding of the signal data coming off the robots and how it’s used by our customers to gain insights into the health of their infrastructure. You will also have the opportunity to be one of the first few software engineers in New York building this system as we look to expand our software presence in this office.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and ship features that help automate the process of validating ultrasonic signal data and classifying damage mechanisms such as cracking, corrosion, or pitting.

• Work closely with users who are validating and interpreting the ultrasonic signal data coming off the robots.

• Collaborate with our Machine Learning engineers as we improve our ML and signal processing algorithms to reduce the time and human effort needed to validate data.

Technologies We Use

We use a variety of technologies, but we primarily operate using Python, React, and Typescript with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as our cloud provider. This is a non-exhaustive list and we are tech agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background.
