Gecko Robotics

Pittsburgh, PA

What We Do
Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.
Role at a Glance
As a Data Engineer, you will build and evolve the data backbone of an AI-first product spanning document intelligence, time-series IoT data, and agentic AI systems. This is a highly hands-on, end-to-end role for someone who thrives in early-stage ambiguity, is comfortable working close to models and customers, and wants to directly shape how data and AI are used in production.
What You Will Do
You will design, implement, and operate data systems across the full lifecycle—from raw ingestion to AI-driven outputs used by customers in the real world. You’ll work directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand real problems, translate them into technical solutions, and iterate quickly. You’ll build pipelines that support document processing, sensor data, and ML workflows, contribute to feature engineering and model experimentation when needed, and own systems in production. You’ll make pragmatic architectural decisions, improve reliability over time, and help define best practices as the team and product scale.
Technologies We Use
Python, SQL
Cloud-native data and GenAI tooling (GCP, VertexAI, etc)
Streaming and messaging systems
Distributed processing frameworks
Data warehouses, lakes, and object storage
Time-series and NoSQL databases
ML and AI tooling (feature stores, vector databases, model pipelines)
Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools
About You
You’re a builder who likes owning problems end to end—from understanding customer needs to shipping and maintaining production systems. You’re comfortable crossing boundaries between data engineering, ML, and backend work, and you’re energized by fast feedback loops and real-world impact. You prefer pragmatic solutions over perfect ones, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and enjoy helping shape both the product and the engineering culture.
Required Skills
7+ years of experience in data engineering, backend engineering, or adjacent roles
Strong Python skills, proficient with ML packages and distributed backends
Experience building production data pipelines and systems from scratch
Comfort working with both structured and unstructured data
Experience operating systems in production and owning reliability
Ability to work directly with customers or end users to understand requirements
Strong problem-solving skills in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Preferred Skills
Experience contributing to ML workflows (feature engineering, training pipelines, evaluation, or inference)
Experience with agentic AI systems or similar orchestration frameworks for enterprise-grade reasoning and/or automation
Experience with document processing, NLP, or vector search
Experience with time-series or IoT data
Startup or early-stage product experience
Experience making architectural tradeoffs under real-world constraints
Who We Are
At Gecko, our people are our greatest investment. In addition to competitive compensation packages, we offer company equity, 401(k) matching, gender-neutral parental leave, full medical, dental, and vision insurance, mental health and wellness support, ongoing professional development, family planning assistance, and flexible paid time off.
Gecko values collaboration, innovation, and partnership, and we believe we do our best work when we're together in person. We’re an office-first culture but understand that sometimes you may need to work from home. Many people are in the office five days a week, others need a bit more flexibility. Ultimately, we care about the outcomes we achieve - and creating a culture of autonomy and trust that enables that impact.
Gecko is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission to protect today’s infrastructure and give form to tomorrow’s. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law.

Compensation Range: $154K - $204K
