Company mission
Teleo's mission is to revolutionize how we build the world.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of professional full-stack development (Python + React/TypeScript)
- Strong backend fundamentals: REST API design, authentication, database modeling
- Production AWS experience (Lambda, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, or comparable services)
- DevOps experience: CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and production operations
- Demonstrated ability to own and ship products end-to-end with minimal oversight
- Comfortable working in office in Palo Alto, CA
Desirable
- Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation
- Frontend state management, component architecture, and modern React patterns
- Securing and hardening web applications for production use
- Monitoring, logging, and alerting for production web services
- Working across multiple codebases and projects simultaneously
- Early-stage startup experience, comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and wearing multiple hats
- Hardware-adjacent experience: comfortable with telemetry systems, embedded device interfaces, or basic electronics concepts
- Experience with ROS
- Experience with C/C++
What the job involves
- Own and professionalize Teleo's full-stack platform. Unify fragmented internal tools and customer-facing products into a cohesive, production-grade stack. Establish engineering standards for web and cloud development across the company and scale the platform as the business grows
- Own the architecture and development of customer-facing dashboards and internal tools
- Consolidate and harden a landscape of full-stack applications into maintainable, well-tested production services
- Define and enforce engineering standards: API design, code quality, testing, CI/CD, and deployment practices for all full-stack work
- Build and maintain backend services in Python and Node.js on AWS (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, S3, Cognito)
- Develop responsive frontend experiences in React with TypeScript
- Manage cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CDK)
- Integrate with hardware systems via REST APIs and WebSockets for control and telemetry
- Participate in remote support rotations, including occasional early/late hours
Our take
Operating a massive piece of heavy equipment like a bullddozer for 8-10 hours a day is a challenging job. It's tiring, unsafe and requires a great deal of synchronisation with other workers and vehicles on the job. Teleo is lightening this burden for construction teams with remote and autonomous control of heavy equipment.
The startup has pursued a pragmatic “crawl-walk-run” approach to deliver the benefits of supervised autonomy now. Instead of having each machine in a fleet operated by a driver in a cab, they’re all being controlled remotely by a single human operator miles away from the job site.
The hope is that the technology matures toward fully autonomous heavy equipment operation. Like any new, next-generation technology, it can take some getting used to. However construction workers are simply adapting to robots on site as a another tool to get the job done, putting Teleo in a strong position as it sets out to disrupt the construction industry.
