Helping a billion people move with powered clothing
The Role

ABOUT US: Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.

Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for the 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building products that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.

Skip is a 10-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc’teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device, the MO/GO, and transform millions of lives in the coming years.

THE ROLE:

We are seeking a highly motivated and adaptable individual who will explore the peaks and valleys of all problems that may come up while building a new generation of wearable robots for everyday life.

You’ll work as a senior generalist SWE on our small software team, and in collaboration with our other senior SWE, you'll be responsible for technical leadership of the entire software stack as we build a new consumer robotics platform. We are currently a flat team, but you’ll be expected to coach and mentor Skippers with less experience.

Some of the specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Design our nextgen system architecture, as we go from prototypes -> fleet of 5,000 MO/GOs shipped to customers homes in the next 2 years
  • Write high-quality code and tests for both on-device and cloud software components, ensuring high-quality and reliable performance
  • Collaborate with EE/firmware engineer to integrate hardware components, sensors, and control systems
  • Collaborate with our controls engineer to expand our data pipeline, train and deploy ML models
  • Wearing prototypes several hours a week to participate in data collection, test new models and provide feedback
  • Contribute to the improvement of software development processes and practices. Engage in code reviews and knowledge sharing to promote a culture of continuous learning.
  • Bring joy to the team, participate in embarrassing team events, tolerate KZ’s terrible music choices

Basic Qualifications

  • 5-10 years’ experience in professional software engineering
  • Excellent coding skills in C++
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure like GCP
  • Experience with IoT and edge devices
  • Competence with Linux, python, and general debugging
  • Able to deliver quality work in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Ability to relocate to work at the Skip Bay Area office
  • Sense of humour, tolerant of Aussie & Canadian spelling

Bonus Points

  • Experience with backend app development
  • Experience with a UI framework like Dart/Flutter or Angular/TS
  • Experience with Rust, robotics or mechatronics (ST/TI firmware, SPI/UART, BLE, etc)
  • Experience with machine learning / ML Ops
  • Experience in start-up environments
  • Personal motivation to improve human movement
  • Taylor Swift fan. Good taste in background music :)
