Interactive Systems Developer
Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid or Onsite)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $150,000 – $250,000 base + equity
Tech Stack: C++, Python, React, TypeScript
About the Work
We’re building autonomous surgical robotics that dramatically reduce the learning curve for complex procedures. By combining off-the-shelf robotic hardware with proprietary planning, control, and machine learning algorithms, our systems execute surgical steps with greater speed and precision than human hands. Surgeons provide high-level guidance; the system handles the rest. At the heart of this innovation is an intuitive, real-time interface—your canvas.
The Role
We’re hiring a multidisciplinary Interactive Systems Developer to design and build real-time applications that blend robotics, game design, and front-end development. You’ll create tools and interfaces that power surgical robotics—merging control systems, 2D/3D visualization, and mobile/web UI. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity and technical rigor.
What You’ll Do
- Build interactive front-end applications for robotic control, real-time feedback, and simulation
- Design intuitive robotic control methods optimized for touchscreen devices
- Implement 3D visualizations using tools like Three.js, Unity, Unreal Engine, or Babylon.js
- Integrate sensor data, control systems, and user input across hardware/software teams
- Develop responsive web interfaces using TypeScript and frameworks like React or Lit
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on tools that merge gaming, robotics, and UI/UX
- Ensure accessibility, performance, and usability across platforms
- Collaborate with a diverse, interdisciplinary team focused on innovation and user-centered design
What You Bring
- Experience in game development or interactive 3D applications (Unity, Unreal Engine, etc.)
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Lit, etc.)
- Familiarity with 2D/3D rendering libraries (Three.js, Babylon.js, Godot, Pixi.js)
- Understanding of real-time systems and data streams (e.g., WebSockets)
- Strong design instincts and attention to user experience
- Comfort working independently and within cross-functional teams
Bonus Skills
(Not required, but a plus)
- Experience with ROS (Robot Operating System), Gazebo, RViz
- Familiarity with physics engines (PhysX, Bullet, Box2D)
- 3D modeling capabilities
- Mobile development experience (React Native, Flutter)
- Accessibility and inclusive design expertise
