Senior Full Stack Engineer

Teleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort.

Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels.

This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.

About the Role Own and professionalize Teleo's full-stack platform. Unify fragmented internal tools and customer-facing products into a cohesive, production-grade stack. Establish engineering standards for web and cloud development across the company and scale the platform as the business grows.

Preferred Qualification

• Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation
• Frontend state management, component architecture, and modern React patterns
• Securing and hardening web applications for production use
• Monitoring, logging, and alerting for production web services
• Working across multiple codebases and projects simultaneously

Bonus Points

• Early-stage startup experience, comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and wearing multiple hats
• Hardware-adjacent experience: comfortable with telemetry systems, embedded device interfaces, or basic electronics concepts
• Experience with ROS
• Experience with C/C++
