Who We Are
Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too. At Roboflow, we’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 250,000 developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more. Our team is small relative to our impact, and we believe our user success is our success (not the inverse).
A team member summarized: “Roboflow is a company full of giant brains and tiny egos.” We find software has a multiplier effect on all roles (not only product and engineering), so Roboflow employs developers across the company in design, sales, customer support, marketing, and beyond. We’re supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 23 million from Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.
What We're Looking For
Primarily, you like to make great things with passionate colleagues. You are someone that likes to own outcomes, not only inputs. You’re motivated by having responsibility and accountability. You’re eager to ‘do the work,’ big and small.You’re curious and learning about new technologies, perhaps an early tinkerer with ChatGPT and AI products. You show more than you tell.You’re motivated by the question, “How can I improve this?” and have a track record of doing so, even in ways adjacent to your role.
Much of our current team is made up of former founders and thrive in the level of autonomy at Roboflow. Maybe you had a side hustle in high school or college.Many Roboflowers have used our tools before joining. One of the best ways to stand out amongst other applicants is to write about something you have built with Roboflow or contribute to one of our open source projects.The ideal candidate is a person who loves to build and launch useful, fun, engaging, and valuable web experiences to drive brand awareness and new user acquisition. You love to build brands, create something out of nothing, and turn ideas into reality. You likely have many web projects you’ve shipped over the years to various degrees of adoption. Some trended on Hacker News, some were at the top of subreddits, some are slowly growing stars on GitHub, and some are a labor of love you maintain just for yourself. Tons of them failed, way more than you can count or remember.
What You'll Do
This role is truly dynamic and versatile. You’ll be on the Marketing team within our company and working closely with our Product team. Your focus will be on growing our brand awareness, increasing visitors to our web experiences, and growing our new user sign ups each month. You will collaborate across the company to create and own high priority properties like our core website, programmatic pages, github repos, open source projects, Roboflow Universe, graphics, copy, and other web-based products we build for users.
Additional responsibilities include collateral, emails, employer branding, and other visual design projects that are needed a few times a month.You’ll help us craft our brand identity and figure out how to best communicate and adjust it as necessary. We also believe in championing our superpowers and leaning into how we can grow and excel with them. We’d love to have a designer interested in flexing and growing their product design and user experience skills as well, especially in the context of crafting design components, improving our usability and aesthetic, and contributing to product initiatives.
