What are the responsibilities and job description for the Frontend Engineer position at Bedrock Robotics Inc?
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world
At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.
We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.
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 React Native, with an ability to step into Swift and Kotlin when needed.
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 React Native.
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.
Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY), please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
