Full Job Description
WHAT WE DO Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure. ROLE AT A GLANCE Gecko Robotics’ Engineering teams build high-impact, customer-facing applications that power Cantilever, our software platform used to protect and modernize critical infrastructure. As a Software Engineer on the 3D Product team, you will develop and evolve a high-performance 3D visualization product that enables users to explore complex assets in extraordinary detail. Our team builds and maintains a system that streams large-scale 3D data, including high-resolution models, to a web-based frontend. This system is already used to support important operational and strategic decisions within Cantilever and continues to expand in scope and capability. You will work across the stack, contributing to backend services, frontend applications, and system architecture, while collaborating with product managers, Forward Deployment Engineers, and occasionally customers to ship intuitive, scalable solutions. Due to government program requirements, candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Build and extend a server-side rendering application that streams large-scale 3D models to a React frontend, including systems built on Unreal Engine - Develop user-facing features that support complex 3D workflows across frontend and 3D technologies - Design and maintain backend APIs and services that power 3D data ingestion, transformation, and deli
