About Eyebot

Eyebot is an outcome-focused technology company on a mission to make vision care accessible to everyone, equally. Headquartered in Boston’s North End and backed by top investors and the National Science Foundation, our 90-second vision test kiosk is reshaping how vision care is delivered.

If you’re passionate about solving big problems and building the future of vision care, we’d love to hear from you.

About The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, diligent Web and Mobile Engineer to build the critical user-facing applications that guide people through Eyebot’s self-serve vision kiosks and extend our reach to web platforms. You'll work closely with the product and software teams to develop both mobile applications (specifically on Android using Kotlin) and new web experiences, maintaining consistent core functionality while supporting variations in branding and user journey across different partners.

A key part of this role will be contributing significantly to the research, evaluation, and recommendation of our core web development tech stack. You’ll write software to interface between the user and the Eyebot kiosk’s internal robotics. This role involves consistent collaboration with the rest of the software team in designing robust data systems and coordinating seamless remote software updates.

Note : This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Boston. We work together 4-5 days a week to support rapid prototyping and cross-functional collaboration.

What You’ll Do :

Build and maintain user-facing web and mobile applications that drive our automated vision tests.

Embed videos, animations, and audio to guide the user in real time within both mobile and web interfaces.

Write and optimize code supporting our partners’ varying requirements and regulations for both platforms.

Actively research, evaluate, and recommend key web development frameworks, libraries, and best practices as we define our web presence.

Collaborate closely within the software and product teams to rapidly iterate on prototypes and new features.

Develop robust QA systems that verify application functionality, robustness, and comprehensive case coverage.

Write clean, testable code with solid documentation and attention to maintainability.

What We're Looking For : Technical

Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.

2-4 years of experience in Web and Mobile development.

Expert in Kotlin for Android development; strong proficiency in modern web development languages (e.g., JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS) and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js).

Excellent Git practices and a strong understanding of version control.

Skilled at translating Figma mockups into responsive, production-ready Android and web UIs.

Experience programming animations using digital assets from tools including Figma Smart Animate, Adobe After Effects, and LottieFiles.

Experience building robust systems for production environments — not just prototypes.

Diligent in testing and QA.

GitHub, portfolio, or links to past work demonstrating relevant projects.

Personality

You’re energized by fast-paced environments and excited to grow with a startup that’s scaling quickly.

You take ownership of your work and care deeply about quality.

You hold yourself (and your teammates) to a high bar.

You follow through on commitments and take responsibility for outcomes.

You are comfortable iterating quickly on customer-facing UIs within an evolving and partially defined design system.

You bring a low ego, collaborative mindset and a sense of humor. You are easy to work with, open to feedback, and able to keep perspective even when things don't go according to plan.

Bonus

You are design-minded with a strong eye for detail or an understanding of UI principles.

Experience developing apps for kiosks or robots.

Experience working with regulated, healthcare, or safety-critical devices.

Background in scaling software for hardware products in the field.

Experience contributing to web tech stack selection or working on greenfield web projects.

What We Offer :

Starting target salary in the range of $110,000 to $130,000, along with meaningful equity

Flexible work schedule with unlimited PTO

A culture where every idea is welcome, no matter how out there it sounds — that’s how Eyebot got started

Commuter support and wellness benefits

A collaborative office environment in Boston’s North End, with regular team lunches and a great waterfront location
