About the role

Who We Are: Roboflow is building the visual cortex for AGI. Every day, millions of developers and half of the Fortune 100 use Roboflow to count cells to accelerate cancer research, improve construction site safety, digitize floor plans, preserve coral reef populations, guide drone flight, and much more. We have built the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. We're supported by great customers and investors, having raised over $100 million from Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, Y Combinator, and more. Roboflow Labs is our applied research unit. We train our own open models (RF-DETR). We build our own benchmarks grounded in real enterprise use cases (RF100-VL). And we partner with frontier labs to deliver the training data they need to advance the capabilities that drive the most value back to our customers. Behind all of it is a global network of millions of Roboflow developers who have annotated billions of images and videos to date, as well as a proven enterprise business that is exploding as AI traverses the physical economy.
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.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
