About Alloy Robotics
We believe robotics is the industry of our lifetime, and data is its lifeblood.
Alloy is the AI-native data platform for robotics teams. Robot fleets generate enormous volumes of logs, video, telemetry, and mission data, and most of it ends up in silos where nobody can use it. Alloy turns it into one queryable layer with AI agents on top: engineers ask questions in natural language, get automated mission reports, and catch failures before they compound. The point is simple. Your robot breaks, you find out why, and your best people spend their time building the next robot instead of digging through the last one.
We've raised $16m, backed by Square Peg, Blackbird, and Airtree, with angels including senior leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla, Waymo, and Halter. We partner with robotics teams across defence, agriculture, maritime, humanoids, construction, and medical, including Advanced Navigation, DroneForge, Breaker Industries, and Puralink. We're a lean team building from Sydney, and are adding our first US hires.
Where we are, and where we're heading
We just raised our seed and the company is stretching: expanding in the US, customers on both sides of the Pacific, bigger moments ahead. The founder's agenda is growing faster than any one calendar. This role turns it into finished work.
About the role
You'll work directly with our founder as leverage for the whole company: owning special projects end to end, carrying work that has no owner yet, and being the stability that keeps decisions moving when the founder is heads-down or on the road.
This is an owner role. One month you're scoping a market entry, the next you're running the home end of a founder travel week, then taking a partner question from blank page to recommendation.
What you'll do
Own special projects: scope, drive, land
Keep the founder's agenda moving: prep, follow-through, decisions teed up
Triage what genuinely needs the founder
Write memos, briefings, and analyses people act on
Take new problems to working, then hand them to a long-term owner
Who you are
Structured, fast, allergic to busywork. You'd rather own a hard, undefined problem than execute a tidy one, and you treat discretion as non-negotiable.
You may be a good fit if you have
3+ years delivering complex work end to end, under real stakes
Structured problem-solving that turns mess into plans
Writing that executives act on without a meeting
Comfort with numbers
High agency and complete discretion
Strong candidates may also have
Early-stage experience, or something you built yourself
Technical fluency with engineers
Ambition toward a leadership seat
How we work
We're building the company we always wanted to join: small, fast, and serious about the craft. The bar is work you'll be proud of in five years, shipped this week. Everyone owns outcomes end to end: the interesting problems don't come with instructions, and nobody will hand you a playbook. We question requirements, delete what shouldn't exist, and spend our energy where customers feel it. If you want clear lanes and a manager to set your week, we'll frustrate you. If you want real problems, real pace, and the best work of your career, you'll fit right in.
Compensation
Competitive salary
Additional compensation and benefits may include equity and flexible working arrangements
If this reads like you but you don't tick every box, apply anyway. We care more about trajectory than checklists.
