Job Description
Matic is revolutionizing home robotics by building the world's first truly autonomous robots. We're on a mission to recapture the 2.5 trillion hours annually spent on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value, with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable robots that families love.
Our first product, Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot that families love and cannot fathom their lives without. We've built what amounts to "self-driving for homes" - precise 3D mapping, real-time SLAM, and semantic understanding that works reliably in real homes, all achieved through breakthrough spatial AI technology using only RGB cameras and neural networks with all processing on-device for complete privacy.
Privacy first Our robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.
Our approach In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
Just like consumers adopted cell phones, then PDAs, then iPods before adopting the iPhone to replace them all, we believe consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant robots first before getting one-robot-to-rule-all-chores. Our goal is to continue automating household labor, shipping useful, affordable, privacy-first robots while building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.
Who we are We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI & robots enable us to solve them.
Who we are NOT We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love!
How we behave Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.
At Matic, we're eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems - even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers.
Those who value curiosity and learning and who don't shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role We're looking for a senior-level software engineer who can own our iOS stack and ensure that it serves as an intuitive, visually appealing interface for the connections between our robots and the humans who use them.
If you're passionate about writing good code and excited by the opportunity to connect humans and robots, we'd love to learn more about you.
What you'll do - Build a mobile app that enables delightful, multi-modal interactions between humans and robots and mirrors the real world in 3D in real time.
- Create first-of-its-kind mapping, scrollable time-lapse, and dynamic user interface on a 3D world that's super intuitive and feels like magic to users
- Closely collaborate with our Design, Software, Algorithms, and Hardware teams to bring to life a product vision that changes users' perception of what's possible
- Be part of a small team of talented engineers, with huge impact on the trajectory of our product
What we look for - Experience building iOS applications from end-to-end, especially with a focus on 3D graphics or game development
- Systems-level fluency in Swift, Rust, and/or Python is required; experience with C/C++, Objective-C, or Android development is a plus
- Comfort with math fundamentals that go well beyond front-end development
- Familiarity with vertex and compute shaders, coordinate-space transforms, and rasterization pipelines is a plus
- Strong product and design intuition driven by a genuine obsession with user experience
- Proven track record of mobile launches
- Pride in your programming and attention to detail
- Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don't shy away from the hard work
- Ability to take risks, a passion for learning, and no fear of failure
