Job Description
About FormantFormant is building the operating system for intelligent machines. Our platform helps companies deploy, monitor, and scale fleets of robots in the real world — from logistics and cleaning to agriculture and beyond.We’re a Series A startup with a small, experienced team and real production customers. You’ll work on software that directly affects how physical systems operate at scale.
Please include a link to your GitHub in the applicationThe RoleWe’re looking for an ambitious early-career full‑stack engineer to help make the Formant platform more reliable, usable, and powerful for customers. You’ll work across our stack on real customer issues, core product development, and internal tooling, with a heavy focus on making our existing platform more reliable and easier to support. This role is ideal for someone who wants to become a strong product engineer by working across the stack on real production problems — from debugging issues to shipping improvements that prevent them from happening again. We’re also looking for someone who is particularly excited about using AI tools to accelerate their work. You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers and product leaders, gaining deep system context early in your career while contributing meaningful code from day one.This role is intentionally rotational: you’ll start close to customer problems (support and reliability work), then increasingly shift into core product and platform work as you build context.Please include a link to your GitHub in the applicationWhat You’ll DoCustomer-facing engineering & reliability (initial focus)Investigate and resolve high‑priority production issuesDebug across the stack with guidance from senior engineersIdentify recurring issues and drive systemic fixes, not only one‑offsProduct & platform developmentBuild and improve features across the full stack (frontend, backend, infra)Improve documentation, runbooks, and onboarding paths for common scenariosAutomation & AI-assisted supportHelp build internal AI tooling (agents/chatbots) to handle common support workflowsImprove logs, metrics, and diagnostics to make issues easier to detect and resolveProactively reduce support load by making the product and tooling betterExplore unfamiliar codebases or technologiesWho You Are0–3 years of professional software engineering experience
