Careers at Viam | Join the Team Making Robotics Programmable

Join the team making robotics as programmable as software.

Viam is where great people come to work on one of the most important problems in tech right now: bringing the software revolution to the physical world.

A founder with a proven thesis

Viam Founder and CEO Eliot Horowitz co-founded MongoDB and spent 13 years making databases programmable for software engineers everywhere. Now he's doing it for robotics. It's a rare chance to work on a hard, important problem with a team that has done it before.

Hear from the team

"Viam provides opportunities to work directly on meaningful projects critical for customer success, rather than iterating on experimental changes to an established product. As a result you can influence technical decisions early in your career."

Daniel Botros,
Software Engineer,
Netcode

"I talk with other teams as often as I can to share knowledge and move quickly. Making software that communicates with hardware is really cool. I believe that robotics is the future and enjoy working on something that has impact."

Michael Lee, Senior Engineer II

"The work feels tangible in a way I didn't expect. I get to work directly with customers and see them use what I build. And, at a startup like Viam, you're responsible for things end to end. That pushes you to learn fast and build confidence early."

Dhriti Naidu,
Software Engineer,
Computer Vision

Our Values

Vision Driven

We believe robots will make the world better and we build the platform that makes that possible.

Collaborate Openly

The best results come from working together, with honest feedback, mutual respect, and full transparency.

Act Decisively

We move forward over perfect. Iterate fast, fail fast, learn faster.

Succeed Through Diversity

The strongest teams and the best products are built by and for people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.

Hold Ourselves Accountable

We own our work, lead by example, and build a platform our users can rely on.

Lead With Curiosity

We improve through exploration. We value learning over being right, and we like to have fun doing it.

Location

Headquartered in NYC

Viam is headquartered in New York City, a block from Lincoln Center on Sesame Street (for real!). We work hybrid: three days a week in the office, two days wherever you do your best work.

Engineers aren't just at their desks. They're often in the lab wiring up sensors, flashing firmware, testing control logic on real hardware. Our teams are distributed across the U.S. and Europe, with a strong presence in the U.K. and Italy.

Lead with Curiosity Program

Viam sets aside an annual budget for courses, conferences, and professional memberships. Pursuing a degree? We offer tuition support, too. Our Lead with Curiosity program gives everyone access to professional development: the skills, perspectives, and experiences that make you better at your job today and in the future.

Hackathon Spotlight

Our engineers don't just build Viam — they build on it. Every engineer has dedicated build days to build real robots with collaborators across teams. The builds get better over time, and so does the platform.
