What We Do

Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.

What you will do

We are a small, established frontend software team specialized in data layer integration and visualization looking for engineers passionate about rendering, computational geometry, and related fields. From day one, you will be working on web-based 3D tools for use at Gecko client sites, collaborating closely with our customer-specific deployments to drive real change in government and industry. You will work with other software teams to integrate new photogrammetric and point-cloud data layers into Gecko’s Cantilever™ software platform, driving digitization at factories, power plants, and navy bases. You will innovate with new technologies and datasets, including server-side rendering and satellite overlays as we build the next generation of site, fleet, and asset management tools.

Technologies We Use

Cantilever™ applications are built in Typescript+React, using ThreeJS (WebGL) for procedural, client-side rendering and a blend of Unreal and other technologies for server-side rendering. Data processing services are written in Python, while GCP is our cloud provider. We are tech-agnostic in our interview process, so we encourage you to apply regardless of your background.
