Rabot builds vision AI for warehouse packing operations. Cameras watch the pack line, software figures out where things are slow or wrong, and operators get real-time feedback that actually changes how they work. Customers stick around because it measurably improves their output.

We're venture-backed with distribution partnerships with major industry players. The product works. Now we need someone to run operations as we scale.

THE ROLE

You'd be the CEO's right hand. The person who makes sure the business actually runs while everyone else builds product and closes deals. Finance, logistics, vendor management, field ops, internal systems. If it keeps the company functioning, it's yours.

We automate heavily. Our internal ops run on AI agents, custom tooling, and code. We don't throw people at problems we can automate. You should think the same way.

You'll report directly to the CEO and co-founder. This is not a back-office role. You'll be in the warehouse, on the road, in the numbers, and in the room when decisions get made.

In-person in Arlington, TX. Not remote. Regular domestic travel.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Run day-to-day operations across the company. Distributed teams, warehouse deployments, vendor relationships, partner logistics.

- Automate everything you can. Your first instinct when you see a manual process should be to eliminate it. You'll have AI tools, internal software, and engineering support to do this.

- Own the numbers. Budgets, operational KPIs, reporting. Build the dashboards yourself or work with engineering to get them built.

- Manage vendor and partner relationships. Hardware suppliers, contract manufacturers, service providers.

- Grow into the finance side. Budgeting, forecasting, working with our fractional CFO. You don't need to be a controller on day one, but you should be headed there.

- Travel to customer sites and partner facilities. This job has a field component.

- Build systems and teams together. When we need people, hire them. When we don't, build software instead.

WHO YOU ARE

- You've worked in operations, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, or field ops. You know what it's like to manage things that move in the physical world.

- You're technical. Maybe you write scripts, maybe you build automations, maybe you're just fluent enough to work directly with engineers. You see code and AI as tools you use, not things other people handle.

- You use AI tools every day. Not as an experiment. As how you work.

- People follow you. You have presence and you can rally a team around a goal without needing a title to do it.

- You don't wait for permission. You see a problem, you fix it. You see a gap, you fill it.

- You're smart and adaptable. No specific degree required. We care about how you think.

- You're fine with ambiguity. Startups don't come with instruction manuals.

NICE TO HAVE

- You've written code to solve operational problems. Python, SQL, Apps Script, anything.

- You've been a right hand to a CEO or founder before.

- Background in tech-driven operations: Amazon, Flexport, or similar environments where automation is the default.

- Financial literacy. Budgeting, forecasting, P&L basics.

- Early-stage startup experience. You know what building from scratch actually means.

- Military or logistics background with a technical lean.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Base salary plus equity. A real stake, not a token grant.

- You'd run operations at a company with paying customers, a clear market, and a team that ships fast.

- Direct line to the CEO. Your input shapes company decisions.

- AI tools and a culture that actually uses them. We automate our own ops before we tell customers to automate theirs.

COMP

We want someone who bets on themselves. If you're optimizing purely for guaranteed base, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want equity in a company you can directly make more valuable, this structure works.

HOW TO APPLY

Send us two things:

1. One example of an operational problem you solved. Not a resume bullet. What was broken, what did you do, and what changed?

2. You inherit a process where three people spend 10 hours a week each on manual data entry and reporting. Walk us through how you'd fix it. Keep it under a page.
