Vicarious aims to transform robotics by creating robots with human level performance on real-world manipulation tasks. We are passionate about changing the world with science and software, and we are looking for exceptional people to join us in that mission.
You will join a small, tightly knit collective of engineer-scientists committed to solving these problems. Our focus is on building robotic manipulation systems that are beyond the state of the art by integrating perception, concept learning, reasoning, and motor control as we pursue the long term goal of artificial general intelligence.
As Dev/Ops engineer you will be a critical piece of our DevOps team, providing support for state-of-the-art development of robotic and AI based systems. Continuous delivery, infrastructure as code and scalable solutions will be your bread and butter. This role will involve automating the dynamics of our infrastructure, utilizing AWS to optimize performance, convenience and cost. Your efforts will be rewarded by knowing that you're supporting the bleeding edge in robotic artificial intelligence research and development, every day.

About Vicarious
Vicarious is developing artificial general intelligence for robots. By combining insights from generative probabilistic models and systems neuroscience, our architecture trains faster, adapts more readily, and generalizes more broadly than AI approaches commonly used today.
