Founding Engineer

This is Robby’s first hire outside the founding team, reporting directly to the CTO. You will own full-stack feature development on a live product used by large multi-location contractors, while also spending meaningful time with technicians and business owners to gather feedback and drive deployment. The split is roughly 70 percent building and 30 percent with customers, with travel to customer sites fully expensed. Within 90 days, the expectation is that you own the design, build, rollout, and measured impact of new product lines as they launch. This role is in person at Robby’s New York City office 6 days a week, plus travel to customer sites.

What You’ll Own

Ship full-stack features from 0 to 1 on a live product used by large home-services contractors across the US (Python, TypeScript, AWS)

Own new product lines end-to-end as Robby expands beyond its core offering, from initial scope through rollout and measured impact

Go on-site with technicians and business owners to train users, gather product feedback, and inform what gets built next

Solve hard infrastructure problems: AI features that work offline in the field, low-latency pipelines across many data sources, and software flexible enough for heavy per-customer customization

Shape how the company scales by defining systems and processes without being handed tickets or a playbook
