We’re training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We’ve raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with FedEx to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue. We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world’s best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world’s most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fei-Fei_Li">Fei-Fei Li</a> (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Raibert">Marc Raibert</a> (founder of Boston Dynamics), and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Thrun">Sebastian Thrun</a> (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles).</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Let’s be legendary.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nimble is looking for a <strong>Robotics Software Engineer</strong> to build the core software powering our next-generation autonomous robots.
