Job Description

The Software Engineer, UI/UX role at BurnBot, Inc. focuses on operator-facing software for mission planning, live supervision, mapping, alerts, and fleet tooling. You will build production front-end experiences and validate them with operators during live burn conditions.

Operator-Facing Software

Develop the operator interface, including live telemetry, video, machine state, and controls that remain legible under real field pressure.

Mission Planning and Mapping

Build mission planning and mapping workflows, including drawing treatment boundaries, setting plans, and reviewing what was actually treated.

Alarms and Alerts

Design alarms and alerts to clarify what interrupts an operator, how prominently it is communicated, and what actions the interface requests in response.

UX Ownership and Design Work

Lead the UX work directly, including research with crews, sketching, and delivering the built experience.

Design System

Create and maintain a design system to keep tools consistent as the fleet and the team expand.

Required Qualifications

5+ years building production front-end software with strong TypeScript and React (or equivalent).
Experience working with real-time and streaming data in the browser, such as telemetry, video, or live machine state.
Mapping and geospatial UI experience using tools such as Mapbox, Leaflet, deck.gl, or similar.
Strong design sense, with the ability to translate vague needs into usable interfaces.
Testing discipline, given the operational context where the software runs next to fire.
Willingness to spend time with operators in the field and observe interface behavior under real conditions.

Technologies

TypeScript
React
Mapbox
Leaflet
deck.gl
ROS web bridges

Compensation and Location

Location: South San Francisco, CA (onsite)
Salary: USD 115,000 - 170,000 per year

Benefits

Health: Health, dental, and vision
Time off: Flexible paid time off

Nice to Have

Robotics, teleoperation, or industrial HMI interface experience.
Experience with ROS web bridges, WebRTC, or low-latency video.
Safety-critical or high-consequence UI experience.
Design background before, or alongside, engineering.
Wildland fire, forestry, or land management background.

How the Team Works

Based onsite in South San Francisco, with design, build, and testing conducted in one building and proximity to machines prioritized.
Calendar flexibility: work hours can be adjusted based on focus, with the option to go remote on heads-down days.
Field time: a few days per month across California, Oregon, and Washington to observe the interface running on live burns.
