Join the team bringing autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.
In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic
In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.

About The Role

We are building highly complex interfaces for the bleeding edge of robotics and autonomy. A customer's first real contact with Bedrock technology is the interface that mediates the autonomous machine and their intentions. It is critical that the software they interact with is as magical as the autonomy that powers the machine.

In this foundational role, you will establish our core UI interactions and workflows. You will deeply own our software stack, pushing the boundaries of what is possible across a variety of browser and native environments to deliver ultra-low latency control over heavy machinery.

Also, you get to drive 100,000 lb excavators.

What You'll Do
  • Take a foundational role in establishing the core UI interactions, architecture, and workflows that operators, engineers, and field teams rely on every day.

  • Architect highly complex interfaces capable of visualizing massive multi-modal datasets (telemetry, live video, 3D scenes, geospatial maps) in real time.

  • Push the performance limits of modern frontend frameworks across mobile operating systems to ensure a seamless, magical user experience.

  • Own the 0-to-1 design and implementation of frontend foundations, including state management patterns, component systems, and asynchronous data flows.

  • Partner closely with robotics, autonomy, and backend engineers to translate high-dimensional machine data into intuitive operational workflows.

Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional experience driving the design, architecture, and implementation of highly complex, business-critical frontend applications.

  • Deep expertise in shipping iOS and Android apps.

  • A strong understanding of network management, memory management, and rendering performance.

  • Experience building sophisticated applications that handle massive datasets, complex state, real-time data streaming (WebSockets, WebRTC), and asynchronous flows.

  • Strong product and systems thinking: the ability to design architectures from first principles and craft polished, "magical" user experiences for power users.

  • Comfort deeply owning a software stack and navigating the ambiguity of rapid prototyping in a fast-paced startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience pushing performance boundaries in native and cross-platform (Swift, Kotlin, KMP, React Native, etc).

  • Background in 3D visualization, rendering, or scene-based interfaces using WebGL/WebGPU, Three.js, CesiumJS or similar technologies.

  • Experience working with geospatial tooling, massive map datasets, or GIS systems (e.g., handling GeoTIFFs, WGS84, custom projections).

  • Familiarity with ultra-low latency workflows, real-time video streaming pipelines, or interfaces operating in constrained edge-network environments.

  • Previous experience designing user experiences for robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial systems, or teleoperation command-and-control platforms.
