Build something from day one that would be immediately deployed in the real world. Imagine being able to tell your grandkids one day that you helped put some of the first robots on Canadian's sidewalks.

About the job

Why it matters

• Last-mile is the highest polluting segment. Given the continuous rise of e-commerce, it is expected the total carbon emissions will increase 30% by 2030 because of the last-mile. Our robots not only have zero emissions but use as little electricity as a light bulb.
• People spend on average 10 hours running errands, going grocery, etc each week. If delivery was reliable, instantaneous and cost cents it would free people from carrying these tasks. If there are 2.93 million people in Toronto, we would be giving back 29.3 million hours to people to spend with their families and what they care about.
• Imagine a small bookstore delivering their books for cents to the entire city in half an hour or less. Transportation has always been the backbone of the economy and delivery robots will ease trade and foster unprecedented economic growth.
• During this pandemic, we are helping keep small businesses in business while also keeping their customers safe.

What you'll build

• Real time monitoring, we want to be able to instantly jump on a robot when something is not going well and control it.
• Everything related to dispatching of orders. This is getting orders pushed from the restaurants, and assigned to the best available robot.
• Build tools to make sure the fleet is working as expected and alert us when something goes wrong.
• User interfaces to drive our robots from anywhere in the world!
