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.

Gecko Robotics is currently hiring new graduates to begin full-time in Spring or Summer of 2024.

About the Team

Gecko’s software teams come into the picture after our robots and operators collect data in the field. The petabytes of data our robots collect are only valuable and useful if we as humans (and our software tools) are able to understand the story the inspections are telling. The Software Organization’s work bridges multiple data layers and functions, ultimately converging in our transformative Cantilever software that directly impacts critical maintenance and repair decision making worldwide. 

In our recently opened Boston Habitat, we have a variety of teams that you may be able to add value to! Future Geckos that join our software teams are placed based on their strengths, interests, and needs of our business. This process happens as your start date arrives! 

Here are some brief descriptions of possible teams you can make an impact on. 

• Data Systems - The Data Systems team creates the software needed to turn raw inspection data into deliverables for customers, develop pipelines that perform automated processing, and empower our internal data analysis team with tools to manually process datasets more efficiently and accurately. 
• Enterprise - The Enterprise Team is responsible for Gecko’s customer facing, business-to-business, enterprise software. The team also claims that they make the ‘prettiest’ applications at Gecko. 
• Rolodex - The Rolodex Team builds and maintains a unified data model for all of Gecko, and drives data governance as we grow and scale. 
• Platform - The Software Platform team’s purpose is to empower software engineers, reduce unnecessary blockers, and increase our velocity to create exceptional products. They do this by making software effortless to build, deploy, and manage. 

What You Will Do

The Software Engineering team operates in a highly collaborative environment to design, code, and ship the features that unlock insights and value from the huge volumes of data collected by Gecko robots everyday. The software team also works collaboratively with other teams within Gecko to build features that make it easy to transform and use data across the organization, as well as better serve the needs of our customers. As a member of this team you will leverage software to enable data-driven decision making and clean reporting, build new aspects to improve the structure of our existing data, and create the foundation for future software development at Gecko. 

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.

About You
