Do you want to help build the future of humanoid robots?

We are looking for someone with a blend of deep knowledge of Frontend programming (particularly React) and a visual arts and designer background to take on the lead of the UI/UX of our Software.

Our internal motto is “Be Wow”, our robots are wow and we want you to help us create a user experience that is wow too.

Innovative solutions and approaches to unique and emerging UI/UX challenges in programming and managing humanoid robots might set precedents for the whole industry and help lower the barrier to easily making these machines interact naturally and perform useful tasks in our society.

Is this a world that you might be interested in helping to shape?

The role can be based either at our HQ in Cornwall or at our office in London.

Hybrid work possible, 2-3 days a week remote.
