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 is building the unified knowledge system industrial facilities have always lacked: a continuously evolving facility context graph that connects every dimension of asset intelligence. At the center of this system is Rolodex, our central data platform and the flexible technical backbone powering the company. As part of the Software Platform team, your mission is to accelerate how Gecko ships world-class products by advancing our foundational cloud infrastructure. We’re looking for an ambitious engineer to lead the next evolution of Rolodex, expanding its architecture and capabilities to support Gecko’s growing data needs. In this role, you’ll shape the future of a core platform that streamlines infrastructure, reduces operational risk, and enables product and pipeline teams to build and ship faster on top of a robust, scalable context graph. What you will do - Drive the Rearchitecture: Lead Rolodex's evolution. Rebuild it for the scale of our context graph, preserving its centralized flexibility while unlocking the full performance of underlying storage technologies (time series, vector, etc.). - Empower the Graph & Elevate DevEx: Deliver clear ontologies, predictable APIs, and core tooling (SDKs, local dev) that unlock AI agent workflows and eliminate bespoke integrations. - Secure the Foundation: Own the evolution of our centralized permissioning syste
