About Ultra
Ultra builds industrial AI robots that are working in the real world today. Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have a quickly growing number of revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling towards thousands of deployments over the next few years. Our mission is simple: build the world's most useful and deployable robot.
WARNING: Robotics is not for the faint of heart. There are no silver bullets here. It is tiresome, unglamorous, and at times brutal work. The only way out is through, and the only way through is treacherous and unknown. But on the other side awaits insatiable demand and unimaginable opportunity. Join us if you dare.
Overview
We’re seeking a Product Engineer to join our NYC-based team (we are an in-person company) to build the glue between Operator and our customers’ systems. Fast deployment is the name of the game — roll it up, plug it in, turn it on. We are an early stage company moving very fast in a rapidly growing space, and welcome people from any background as long as you’re excited to join our mission, drive immediate impact, and create a future where automation is accessible to all.
Who You Are
- You’ve have 5+ years of professional software development experience
- You turn high-level, open-ended problem statements into quality technical solutions (and can handle all of the in-between steps)
- You thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment. You don’t need to be micromanaged on what the top priorities are at any given moment
- You’re using AI to write your code
- You consider yourself a software generalist and have worked on a variety of software systems
- You know how to deploy high-quality production code as a part of a software team and are comfortable moving uncomfortably fast
What You’ll Do
- Design and build the interfaces that our customers use daily to operate our robots
- Create internal tools to help our ops and support teams scale
Bonus Points
- You're a former founder
- You’ve built self-improving, agentic systems in the past
- You have a strong product sense and know all about UX in HIL systems
Expected Compensation
$150,000 - $225,000/annual salary + equity + benefits
This compensation range may be inclusive of several career levels at Ultra and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Adjustments outside of this range may be considered for candidates whose qualifications significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
