Description
Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce.
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing Robotics Data Collections team. This role will keep the footage flowing, from a stuck upload at a capture site to the dashboard screen the operations team reads every morning.
Responsibilities
- Product engineering (40%): Build features in the desktop and mobile apps. Ship improvements to the desktop app site staff run every day and the phone app contributors record with.
- Field support & debugging (35%): Run the daily support loop. Be the first responder in our support channels when site staff hit upload, app, or device problems.
- Scaling the operation (15%): Solve classes of problems, not instances. Every question the ops team has to ask an engineer twice is a gap.
- Devices & hardware (10%): Be hands-on with devices when the problem is physical. Use AI-written tests to check why a camera or battery isn't behaving.
Requirements
- Deep care for the user. The operators and contributors using what you build are people you'll know by name.
- Flexible, fast, and scrappy. You'd rather ship a working fix today and improve it tomorrow than design the perfect one next week.
- A willing debugger and problem-solver. You can follow data through a pipeline with many stages, form hypotheses, write quick tests, and follow the evidence.
- AI-leverage mindset. You already use AI tools well and they multiply you.
- Strong communicator, concretely. With site operators and contributors, you answer "what does this error mean?" with what it means and what to press right now.
- Care for data integrity. In our world, a lost or double-counted recording is someone's unpaid hours.
Preferred Qualifications
- Solid software fundamentals: working Python, comfort in Linux, and the ability to build app UIs.
- Strength in at least one of web, desktop, or mobile, and the willingness to become productive across all three and debug anything.
- Daily, effective use of AI coding tools and agents.
- Clear written English for remote, asynchronous work.
- Located in Metro Manila, and able to travel to capture locations regularly.
