The product spans web user interfaces, APIs, hardware appliances, robot interfaces, and human processes. The engineer will work across the stack, crafting interfaces for accessing Generalist systems and building tools and workflows that support researchers, engineers, and operations partners. A key product is the web application researchers, operations teams, and deployment teams use to evaluate and train robot models.
