Company mission
To diagnose the health of our world's critical infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- You are a builder who likes seeing your work used. You are comfortable moving between frontend and backend, you break large problems into shippable pieces, and you communicate clearly about what you built, what you learned, and what you would do next
- Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical discipline, with an expected graduation date between December 2027 and May 2028
- Ability to work onsite in New York, Monday through Friday, for the full Summer 2027 internship
- Foundational programming experience in Python and JavaScript or TypeScript, including object-oriented or functional programming concepts
- Experience building a web application end to end (frontend and backend) through coursework, projects, research, hackathons, or a prior internship
- Working familiarity with Git or similar version control systems
- Understanding of relational databases and REST APIs
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document technical work, explain tradeoffs, and collaborate on ambiguous problems
- Ability to independently close knowledge gaps, stay organized, and learn from feedback
Desirable
- Experience with React and TypeScript in a real project
- Experience designing data schemas or working with messy, real-world datasets
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, preferably GCP, and to containers such as Docker
- Exposure to integrating LLM or other AI APIs into an application
- Interest in 3D, visualization, or spatial data
- Interest in industrial, defense, or infrastructure applications where reliability matters
What the job involves
- Gecko Robotics is seeking a Full Stack Software Engineering Intern to join our Engineering team in New York for Summer 2027. This is a full-time, onsite internship, Monday through Friday
- Gecko’s Engineering teams build customer-facing applications that turn robot, sensor, and document data into decisions about the health of critical infrastructure
- You will work across the stack on a defined project: building frontend workflows, backend services, and data pipelines that make complex asset data usable by the people who maintain it
- You will ship real features into a product that customers already rely on, with clear direction from a mentor and the room to own your piece of it
- Own a scoped full-stack project from design through deployment under the guidance of experienced engineers
- Build user-facing features in React and TypeScript that support real operational workflows
- Develop backend APIs and services in Python that ingest, transform, and serve structured and unstructured data
- Design data models and schemas, and write the logic that parses, associates, and validates data from multiple sources
- Use version control, code review, testing, and structured debugging to produce maintainable code
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and Forward Deployment Engineers to understand how customers use the product, with the option to travel to a customer site during the summer
- Present your project, results, and recommended next steps at the end of the internship
- Technologies We Use: React, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Git, Linux, and cloud infrastructure (GCP). Depending on the project, you may also work with LLM APIs and data-processing pipelines, 3D visualization, or containerized deployments. The specific tools will depend on the assigned project
Our take
The critical services of energy, government, and other essential sectors depend on reliable infrastructure, and this is ensured through regular inspections. However, collecting the physical data required for infrastructural inspection is impossible without a variety of specialized equipment, and analyzing the produced data is a highly time-consuming process.
Gecko Robotics provides physical data handling for critical infrastructure inspections, leveraging robot-enabled ultrasonics and cloud-based data processing to serve power, oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemical, and government sectors. The company achieves this by pairing human NDT II/III inspectors with data capturing robots, facilitating the deployment of various advanced inspection techniques to meet any regulatory standards.
Whilst robotics inspection is nothing new, Gecko stands out with its Toka series, flexible wall-climbing robots designed to gather far more data, far faster than traditional methods.
Recently the company deepened its partnership with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), signing multi-year agreements to deploy robotics and AI-powered analytics across ADNOC's operations and collaborate on local training programs. Following a $125M funding round, Gecko is also preparing to begin manufacturing robots in the UAE, reflecting both its international growth and its ambition to embed robotics and AI at the core of modern energy infrastructure.
