Founding Full-Stack Engineer

About Gambit Robotics

Hi! I’m Nicole (ex-Google AI), cofounder of Gambit Robotics with Eliot Horowitz (cofounder/CTO MongoDB). We’re hiring for two founding engineering roles to work directly with us in our NYC office (in-person only):

1. Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer

   • 8+ years experience shipping production systems
   • Strong backend and systems foundation
   • Experience owning architecture end-to-end (zero → production)

2. Founding Full-Stack Engineer

   • 4–6 years experience building and shipping production products
   • Strong product sense and ownership
   • Comfortable working across backend, client, and infrastructure

Gambit is an AI-powered kitchen assistant that mounts magnetically under most range hoods or microwaves. It uses computer vision, thermal imaging, and on-device AI to understand what’s happening in the pan in real time, and handles the hardest parts of cooking — heat, timing, and doneness — so people get better results with less stress.

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launching via Kickstarter later this month. It’s a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next phase.
